You guys! I am so excited and happy got my DTV approval email just now. Thanks to the group for insight and help. I had asked before about my middle name and you guys came through.

Facts.

Applied on April 30th, evening.

May 2. Request for further documents - April bank statement. I didn't realize that since I applied April my bank didn't generate April statement yet, latest was still March and that's what I sent. 6 months way over the amount needed. I went in immediately and added the April statement as it finally was in my account along with a screenshot of the balance that day and included a letter stating the information about generating etc.

Same evening moved to pending approval

Today, May 7th Approval email.

What I applied with-

Sent in 6 months bank statement from my US bank showing a few times the required amount.

Screen shot of my Fiver page, Etsy shop, Blog front pages (travel and coding), Tipalti account with cash out from Roblox for coding work done for games (like 4 months payment processing) screenshot of stripe payment page 5 months payment transactions

Wrote a letter stating I work online for myself. In the US I dont have a business or business ID as I am DBA (doing business as myself), I code, blog (travel blog) Etsy digital products, stating I understand the rules love thailand, won't break rules, not working in Thailand etc.

Vietnam visa entry stamp and Airbnb booking showing I am in Hanoi where I applied

I was worried about needing more proof of earning or something. But everything went smoothly. I was so worried and stressed for no reason but I think that's normal since a simple mistake could tank it and get rejection or cancellation.

Again, thanks everyone and good luck to all still waiting. Just bought my ticket back to Thailand. I already had an apartment rented (during the 90 days stay) so now I can relax, legally work online and not worry about jumping in and out. Though I will only be here for another year then maybe back after a year. But this gives me peace of mind.

What is thd waiting time after submitting application form from UK?

I want to freelance and also study Thai language at Chula….

Good morning everyone!

I'm working remotely as a freelancer, but I don't have a registered business. I have my own website and clients though.

Do you think I can apply for a DTV visa?

Also, in your opinion, is it better to apply in person or online? What do they actually check during the process?

What documents would I need to prove that I'm working remotely?

And one more thing — if they reject the application, do you lose the 10k THB fee?

Hey all.. been ‘travelling’ around Thailand for the past few months. Now got to a point where I’ve realised it’s somewhere I’d settle for the short-medium term.

Work freelance for multiple clients (some UK based, Swiss, UAE). Income over £2500/month - can get the 500,000 baht ‘savings’ for the DTV visa.

Has anyone tried applying for this without an agent? I’m looking for potential blockers that one may not be aware of without advice.

I have invoices, can get letters from my clients confirming employment - I can showcase work.

The only thing I don’t have is UK tax returns as I have been outside of the UK for some time ‘travelling’.

Could this void the application? How many months of bank statements have people put through?

I have done research on all of the above, and have answers, but I’d also like to collect some first-hand experiences if anyone has applied for the DTV in the past year without a visa agent.

(Or knows anyone who has…)

Enjoy your week!

Thinking to go down the soft power route as I will be fairly new to the freelance world around the time I intend to apply for the dtv visa. Would medical sessions at a hospital in Thailand fall under soft power activities? (More for cosmetic reasons) Been looking into healthcare over there and keen to get on board. Applying through London embassy. Thanks
