In terms of the bank statement, it's just a paper with the overall balance or must include your transactions in the past months ? Thanks

Hi all, quick question I can’t find with search function. When there has been a change of status or more info requested, do you get a notification email or do you have to keep logging in and checking? Assume email notification but can never be too sure!

Thanks everyone for your help in the group. Other people’s experience helped me. Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone,

I’m an Australian citizen currently working remotely in an IT role. I’m planning to apply for the new Digital Nomad (DTV) visa for Thailand — either directly myself or through an agent.

My goal is to continue my existing remote job while living in Thailand for an extended period. I’ve read through some of the official requirements but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the process recently.

Is it generally a straightforward application if you’re already employed remotely by an overseas company?

Any tips on what documentation or approach worked best — especially regarding proof of income, tax obligations, and how to structure the application (DIY vs. through a visa agent)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or first-hand insights!

I'm a US Citizen, currently in the US, planning to come to Thailand in Jan 2026. I'm eligible for 2 types of long stay visas:

1. O-A: Been on this twice, last one expired in Dec 2024

2. O-X: Like this better since it gives me 5 years in Thai and need to report less often. Never been on this.

I already have a bank account in Thailand. VISA Agents please contact me to advice and start process. I think I can only get O-A from the US, not sure if I can apply for O-X in Thailand (I'll can come as a tourist and convert).

So i am a little confused when applying for the non o visa on the thai e visa website, some have said that you do not need the health insurance for the non o (90 days) but when you pick the sub category (1 year extention ) retirement you need it . I thought you can go into thailand on the non o and do everything there within 90 days to get your non oa . So the wyestion is do i need the health insurance when applying for the 90 days non o or not.

What is the easiest route for soft power DTV approval?

My preference is the cookery classes, I understand you have to book a 6 month term to be approved? Does anyone have any reliable and affordable cookery places? Preferably in Bangkok or Chinag Mai?

And will a 6 month class suffice for the entire 5 year Visa?

Thanks!
