Can I apply for the DTV from my home country if I’m not actually located there?

I am from the US and have been in Thailand for a few months now, planning to apply for the digital nomad DTV. I was going to do it from Laos and use a parent sponsorship but learned that Asian countries don’t take parent sponsorship letters. My parents transferred money into my account but only a few weeks ago.

I’m hearing that the DTV may get cancelled or the requirements may change, so I’d like to apply sooner than later. Can I leave Thailand (go to Hanoi for example) and put my location as my residence in the US and apply from the US embassy in DC?

Additionally, does anyone have a definitive answer on if the Hanoi embassy has a seasoning requirement for the 500,000 baht?

Thank you in advance!

For digital nomad visa:

Do they care if I recently got hired with a fully remote company? Asking because I need to provide the work contract and I’m wondering if the recent hire date would cause any doubt or further questioning.

Thank you!

Thinking to apply for a DTV based on working remotely. My job is entirely remote and that shall be written on the contract which I’ll use to apply. However, I would only start working in mid January. Is there a minimum time I need to be working for before I can apply for the DTV? I have a British Passport and been working in Thailand on a Non B for the last 4 years before resigning. Would apply from Malaysia or Vietnam.

I have been invited for an interview. What they will ask and what needs to be prepared?

Hello everyone, I am from Taiwan, 32 years old, and I have been trading stocks for about four years. Currently, my stocks plus cash amount to about 9 million Thai baht. I do not work for any company. I have been traveling around for the past four years, but I can provide proof of my stock trading in Taiwan. I have already made a profit of about 2 million Thai baht in 2024-2025. If I use these conditions, have any friends with similar conditions successfully applied for DTV? Or can someone give me some advice?

I was recently rejected for my DTV visa. I meet all the requirements, I'm American but I applied in Korea where I have lived for 18 months with a digital nomad visa. My visa moved to pending approval status. I then traveled to Thailand and now a few days later it got rejected.

In the rejection email it's very broad, with no specific reason given. I later learned that you have to stay in the country where you apply from, I thought originally you just had to apply outside of Thailand and you were good to go.

My question is I will be going back to Korea soon to apply again, and will stay there the entire process. Does having a previous rejection cause any issues or red flags when applying for the same Visa 2 months later?

Thanks for the help.

Can somone help me please. Should I get an agent or visa lawyer

Hello everyone,

I have a ticket to Thailand but not back yet because i am not sure when ill going back. Also i have booked accomodation for the 7 days and provided them the recipe, but having accomodation for the whole stay(possible 6 months) is crazy. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you
