To get a DTV visa, I need to be employed in my home country, which means I have to show a work contract. The contract must clearly state that my employer allows me to work remotely. Is that correct?

And what to do to get Long Stay Visa with work permit? Is there any for professional workers?

I am considering a DTV, but even though I'm a digital nomad seeking a visa to live and work remotely in the country (Workcation, they call it), I might just have to apply with soft power. Why is that? Because I have no employment contract as a freelancer, my type of work isn't well represented by a portfolio of examples and as I only stay 3 months in any single country (until the DTV anyway), I have no tax residence and so they might fallback on tax returns, which I cannot provide.

Isn't this really just the most convenient way, just sending a Thai cooking class letter or perhaps for a Thai language course?

Now, one of the reasons I would prefer the former option (Workcation) is because I like the visa's clarity in terms of working legally in the country within 180 days a year, even if no one would on tourist visas anyway. I'm not sure this is granted with soft power. Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

I'm seeking some guidance regarding the DTV. I'm a New Zealand citizen currently residing in Dubai, where I work for my family’s company as Head of Sales. Most of my work is done remotely.

In terms of documentation, I can provide a signed letter from one of the business partners confirming that my role is remote. Would I also need to submit an employment contract? Is there a minimum salary threshold I should be aware of?

Additionally, the majority of my funds are held in an Australian bank account. Will this be an issue given that my residential address is in Dubai, my passport is from New Zealand, and my funds are in Australia?

I only have thai bank account but it's not under the name of my company, is it okay?

Hi,

I don't want to take up everyone's time so if somebody has gone through a similar process I would greatly appreciate messaging regarding some advice as what paperwork/support was needed.

I have a small business and would like to give myself permission to be a remote worker for a dtv application. I thought of using a visa service but I don't think there is much added value in that process. I have an upcoming trip to a nearby country and thought I would apply once I arrive.

For somebody that did something similar, what support did you need? Any tips on getting through the process?

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to decide where to apply for my DTV visa as a remote worker/workation spot. I’ve narrowed it down to Cambodia 🇰🇭 or Vietnam 🇻🇳, but I’m unsure which is the better option.

What are the pros and cons of applying in either country? Would love to hear your experiences.

Hi all,

The Thai Embassy has returned with a request for more information:

A letter explaining how I will work remotely while in Thailand?

Does this mean I just need to make an "official" letter myself. Explaining I will work out of a co-working space from my laptop? Any more details needed?

Good Morning. My wife wants to move to Thailand this summer for 6 months. I have a state job but work 100% Remotely allowing me to to move around. Is there anyone here that has a Gov job and is still working their position? Are you using a VPN to connect into your work system. And if so what method or VPN are you using?

Has anyone applied for a DTV as a digital nomad in the Netherlands/the Hague? What kind of additional documents were requested and did they ask for a flight ticket?

Hello everyone

I applied for the DTV (Departmental Tax Return) as an online worker on Preply. I'm being asked for additional documents, including my most recent tax return. It turns out I don't have this document, and my income from last year isn't significant because I started my online job a few months ago. What can I do please?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
