Got my DTV approved in taipei through soft powers. It has been a hell, they require you to be employed and show dozens of documents (work contract, certificate of employment, company license authorized with seals, pay slips going into your account, certifications from the gym that are out of ordinary). Despite of showing them all (plus a bank account with 1M) I still got an interview (which took place 2 weeks after submitting the documents for the first time) which felt everything but relaxed with most of the questions related to my job (I applied for soft powers but it doesn't seem there's much difference here). It might be better than malaysia or japan but do yourself a favor, don't apply here. I repeat, don't apply here because they are extra picky. ps: if you think you still wanna get a shot cuz your documents are perfect plz read what I wrote above, avoid this embassy

Hi all, regarding "document indicating current location", I assume that means a utility bill/bank statement or something similar? I don't have anything with a proof of address as I dont have a permanent address. Does that immediately disquailfy me from applying?

DTV approved from Vienna, Austria

Sharing my personal experience as a self-employed applicant:

I initially submitted all required documents. Then, step by step, I received additional requests – always for one new document at a time. First after one week, then again after two days, then again after three days. Examples included a motivation letter, a short business description (almost like a mini business plan), full-year company bank statements, and current client invoices.

I always attached a clear cover letter in English explaining everything in detail.

The process was slow and a bit frustrating. After my final document submission, I received no response for a full week. I tried calling at least 20 times over two days using 3 different numbers I found – no answer, only voicemail. One time someone picked up and immediately hung up again. Same experience as many reviews on Google Maps also reported.

I then sent two polite emails (one in German, one in English) to the Embassy asking kindly whether anything else was needed or if there were any uncertainties left, since I hadn’t heard back.

The next day, I received my approved visa by email.

In total it took exactly 3 weeks. I responded to all requests for additional documents on the same day.

I don’t know if the emails helped, but others in this group reported similar experiences. So maybe a polite reminder really does help.

Also, seeing that many others experienced the same long process with the Vienna embassy helped me stay calm – it seems they often ask for more documents, unlike other embassies where things go much faster.

Thanks to everyone who shared – that's why I’m sharing mine too.

Soon I’ll have a DTV interview (remote worker) in Vientiane. I’m wondering if I need to print the pdf files that I uploaded during the application (financials, portfolio). The email says “Kindly bring all relevant original documents, including your passport.”

I’m just asking this because I’ve read “just show up” in the group multiple times but when I was paying for the visa fee I actually had to print out the invoice with the QR code on it (they stamped it after payment). People without the printed invoice were turned around.

I’ll bring my passport and laptop to show them whatever they want to see and I’ just wondering if I need to print anything else just in case.

Thank you.

[My Experience Getting the DTV in Paris – April 15 to May 7, 2025]

Hi everyone!

I’d like to share my full experience applying for and receiving the Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) via the Royal Thai Embassy in Paris. I hope this helps those of you who are preparing your applications. Please read my posts carefully before asking the questions.

1. Application Submission:

I submitted my application online on April 15, 2025, via the official Thai e-visa portal. Paris is the only processing option, since I’m currently based in France. I am holding an Asian passport (so I am a foreigner). I am using Workstation type.

2. Initial Review & Document Upload:

Shortly after submitting, I received confirmation that my application was under review. A few days later, I was contacted by the embassy via email and asked to submit an additional document. I uploaded the revised document promptly via the same portal. So, to sum up, I uploaded what the embassy is asking for:

* Document indicating current location (Residence permit)

* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (bank statements), using only 1 account

* Latest payslip

* Employment certificate

* My activities explanation

3. Processing Time:

From submission to final approval, the whole process took 22 days.

* Application submitted: April 15

* Additional document requested & submitted: April 22

* Status changed to “Pending Approval”: May 5

* Visa approved and issued: May 7

I’m really excited to have received my visa and to begin this next chapter in Thailand.

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying!

Hey, can you guys share your experience of entering on dtv? Just saw in a dtv group there have been instances of unwanted srutinization while entering on the dtv? Someone said they were asked to show all the docs, they used while applying. This would be very inconvenient given some of us applied physically and don't have all the docs handy.

🚨UPDATE: APPROVED MAY 2nd 2025 - Thai Cooking Soft Power - Los Angeles Thai Consulate

Original Post:

LOS ANGELES THAI CONSULATE:

Applied March 6th. Submitted further documents March 25th. Have not heard back since. It is now April 14th 2025

I applied for the DTV Soft Power on May 6th with all required documents and triple checked all information was submitted correctly word for word.

13 days later (March 25th) I get an email asking to submit a bank statement requiring a MINIMUM of $17,000 USD, with my name clearly printed and it cannot be an investent profile. My name was CLEARLY PRINTED on my bank statement, it is a statement from a SAVINGS/ CHECKING ACCOUNT with my BANK which also has the banks name and address cleary printed on it. I submitted the statement with $15,300 USD AS THE E-VISA WEBSITE and every other resource available online stated the requirement was a minimim of $15,000. I could have submitted the statement with $17,000+ the first time if thats what made clear anywhere but it wasnt.

I resubmitted a new bank statement with $17,500 1 day of recieving that further documents requested email (March 27) and ever since status has been in "Processing Document Check (1) ". I underatand as of now it Songkran in Thailand, but that document was sumbitted way prior to the holiday.

I also submitted the documents for my finacé's DTV SoftPower on April 4th 2025 with all the same required documents except I made sure her bank statement has well over $17,000 USD. We applidd to the same consulate as me. Her status has been "Pending Payment" ever since. Its been 6 business days and no status change.

I'll continue my patience but wrote this out slight confusion & frustration.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE THAI CONSULATE LOS ANGELES
