Hi guys. I'm 45, from the UK and currently on a marriage visa. Thing is every year lots of paperwork and someone from immigration coming to the house and taking pictures. Was thinking a trip to say Vietnam, soft power Muay Thai option and get the DTV visa. Then read you can't get the DTV if you already have a visa. This true? If so how would I go about this please?

So I have been in Thailand for the past few months on a standard tourist visa and am now going to apply for the dtv.

The only problem is that I have been doing some remote work during this time… and in order to get the dtv I need to send contracts of employment to prove I have been working… while my passport stamps indicate I have been in Thailand on a tourist visa….

💀💀💀

Will this be an issue or is it all forgive and forget now I am trying to do it the correct way 😅?

Somebody please let me know if they have expirienced this !

Apologies as I’m sure this will have been asked before.. so I’m going to apply for a DTV next year .. I run a small IT business and most of our work is remote.. so will be able to perform duties from Thailand …

Regarding spending the 6 months in Thailand.. when that ends, Is it possible for example to fly out of the country for a month.. and then return.. and upon landing back in Thailand does a new 6 month period start? ..or is it 6 months in Thailand followed by 6 months out of Thailand?

Thanks for any advice 🙌

Hi All,

For those who applied for the Workcation remote work, did the company receive any calls or emails from the Thai embassy confirming your remote work?

Thank you!

Last week, I spoke with my lawyer in Bangkok. I was informed there that a 90-day report is not necessary.

I was also told that I must continue paying taxes and social security contributions in my home country. The taxes paid would be credited to me in Thailand due to the double taxation agreement between Germany and Thailand. I am a full-time employee in Germany with a German company and will be working remotely from Thailand on the DTV and stay longer than 180 days starting in December.

Is that possible?

Just got my DTV in Vientiane. I am a U.S. citizen. I used the remote worker option even though I am not your typical remote worker. I trade stocks, options, and futures. I have a registered company that I trade under. I work for myself and by myself.

The process could not have been any easier. I applied on Monday and got my visa on Wednesday. I gave them:

1. My company's incorporation paperwork

1. The yearly statements that my brokerage firm creates showing my profits and losses for the year

1. A letter on my company's letterhead explaining what I do and that I am allowed to work remotely anywhere in the world and that I own 100% of the company.

1. Copy of my drivers license to show my residence address

1. Copy of my passport biodata page, a copy of the page that has the Laos visa sticker, along with a copy of the page where the Laos entry stamp is (required!)

1. Cover letter listing all of the documents that are contained in the package

1. 6 months of bank statements showing that I had over 500,000 baht in the account EACH MONTH.

1. Visa application

1. 2 passport-sized photos

The lady at the counter looked at each document and read it. She took the 10,000 baht and told me to come back Wednesday. That was it.

The Thai embassy opens at 9:00am but by 8:45am when I got there, there were already about 60 people on line. The line goes quickly though.

The embassy staff were very polite and helpful. I was in and out.

Thank you to all of the people who posted in the group in the past. You guys helped me out a lot.

Pretty straight forward, applied for workcation as a Director of company(registered with investment commission)

Just ask me what I'll be doing which my answer was managing my company from here and probably travel around thailand. Paid the fees and got back in two days.

- company annual tax return (notarized)

- company letter detailing my work addressed to Ambassador with stamp and seal

- bank statement 4 months (loads of transaction)

- Company Registration

- Company List of Shareholders

- passport copies

If you are a director/BOD of registered company, you don't need that much of documents apart from having a strong bank statement. Good luck 🙌

Just received my DTV, issued from London. It took 7 days but that was because they wanted better images of my passport and photo. When I resent them it was issued in 2 days and cost £300. I’m a construction project manager in England which means some of my work can be done remotely
