Hello! Currently preparing my docs for DTV application (Digital Nomad) in Hanoi.

Besides the bank statements of the last 6 months on my PERSONAL account, I am thinking about submitting also the statements of my business account so they better how the money comes in from clients. Problem ist, I always keep that account "light" because it is WISE, I keep it under 5K USD.

Does that just confuse the people in the embassy / would you recommend not to turn it in with an explanation?

I have also more personal accounts with high amounts of cash in them and also an huge investment account. Would you provide these as well? or ist that just overload?

Hi,

I started the process of the online form for DTV for nomad. I reached to the page when i need to fill up date of arrival, flight number, address in Thailand. I'm doing it in Vietnam.

I'm planning to go back to Thailand only around April and i don't have any flight booked yet or a date i will return. What should i do ?

Hello, Im plannying to get DTV what soft power activity you recommed? I have my income but its not qualfiy for "remote work" so i need to think of other option maybe learn something new :) Any recommedations?

Cheers,

Mike

Can you apply for the DTV visa after age 50 ? Or you have to apply before age 50 ? What about soft dtv visa ??

Has anyone had their Digital nomad DTV accepted using sponsored funds from their parents at the embassies in any neighbouring countries?

Looking to apply for Laos but unsure on the situation.

Thanks

Anyone from Mumbai (or India) who has already done the DTV interview?

I’m looking to get a DTV or Smart Visa. I have an old passport and need to get a new one. Would I not qualify cause my new passport is too new? I own a digital web development company.

Hi everyone, my first post and want to clarify even of its been asked a hundred times… Cheers

I am an Australian citizen, and I am writing to seek clarification regarding my eligibility to apply for a Digital Nomad (DTV) visa.

Recently, I was refused entry at Thai Immigration at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. The reason provided was the frequent use of visa exemptions, not any visa overstay or legal violation. I was informed that I could return to Australia and reapply for a proper visa if I wished to stay in Thailand for an extended period.

Before I proceed with my DTV visa application, I would like to confirm whether my previous entry refusal will affect my eligibility, and whether any record in the immigration system would prevent me from obtaining a DTV visa.

For your reference, I have never overstayed in Thailand and have always complied fully with immigration laws. My intention in applying for the DTV is to stay lawfully in Thailand while working remotely for my overseas clients.

My visa is now pending approval however it has been 3 and a half weeks already almost 4 and still not approved.

I am starting to get worried that it wont be approved. I see many others getting their in a more efficient timeframe.

Hi guys, im applying for the dtv and im curious if someone can confirm i will get it. I’m building a website which will possibly bring in some revenue in a few months perhaps longer. So I’m applying for the visa based on that, from ChatGPT it said I should get it as I have savings - around 300k AUD I can show so I suppose Thailand would be happy to take me in? Can anyone confirm if a business currently making 0 will get approval as they can stay and have the $ to build it over time? Thanks. Just hoping I can get some people saying yes and no crazy obstacles or no point paying with a no.

Good morning all, thanks for the ad 🙏

Asked to join as I’d seen someone talk about getting this visa, using property income in the uk as the reason to apply

I don’t have a big portfolio, but enough to get by.

Would be great to hear from anybody who’s used rental property in uk to apply for the dvt visa.

TIA for any advice.
