Applied for DTV (Remote Worker) through the Thai Embassy in Singapore in early July.

Day 1 - Submitted application

Day 3 - Embassy asked for more documents including:

- Employer's updated ACRA within the last 3 months (previous version was an old ACRA document)

- Employer's letter to be addressed to Thai Embassy, Singapore specifically stating that I was allowed to work in Thailand. (previous letter submitted was addressed to "to whom it may concern", and "allowed to work anywhere in the world"

- Detailed bank statements (previously I submitted only the first page)

- Screenshot of my latest bank balance AFTER the 3 months of bank statements

- Proof of accomodation (they mentioned specifically AirBnB not allowed)

Day 6 - I only noticed the request on Day 5 and submitted everything they requested for on Day 6

Day 14 - Approved

Data Points:

- I had between SGD20k to SGD30k in the bank for the entire period of 3 months

- I still kept the minimum balance in there after submiting documents, hence my screenshot satisfied that additional criteria

- My salary is about SGD10,000, and I have been with the company for 3 years

Some thoughts: SG Thai Embassy is definitely pretty strict. I feel like they are trying to poke and find holes in what I thought was an honest and straightforward application. But otherwise, happy to have this approved.

Hi all. I need a bit of help. Can anyone help me with a link to how I can do my 90-day report online? I did it for the first time at immigration, and I understand that from now on I can just do it online. I would go search online, but I want to be sure I have the right link and thought it would be safer to come and ask here. Thank you all.

Hi all, been granted my 3 month non - immigrant O visa and I don't know if I have to do a DVCard 3 days before arrival bit. Any yes/ no please. Thanks

Has anybody who is not originally from the Philippines successfully applied for the DTV while in the Philippines? I checked the requirements for the E-Visa application in Manila and for me (German) it says that I need a "Copy of Philippine Visa" - Does that mean my tourist visa stamp in my passport? I also have an ACR-I card but that is only stated as a requirement for nationals from mostly African and Middle Eastern countries) so I don't know if that counts.

Also, would you advise that I stay in Manila during the application process, just in case they need me to appear in person, or can I just stay in Cebu?

And lastly, when I apply, it states that I need to enter flight number and intended duration of stay (despite selecting DTV) - What should I enter here? a date 5 years in the future?

I already e-mailed the embassy but they just replied with copypasta and links to information that I already had.

Thanks!

Have anyone applied for the DTV visa in Vietnam or Taiwan? If so do they require the 500,000 baht to be in the account for a total of 3 months or just have it in the account when you apply ? Apparently United States want $16k each month and I arrive to Thailand in 3 weeks .

I plan to apply in Hanoi and will be travelling to Hanoi via Ho Chi Minh City next month. I will be taking a domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, but the entry stamp on my passport will be in Ho Chi Minh City. Can I still apply in Hanoi?

3 weeks, 3x uploaded additional documents but made it!

DTV in Kuala Lumpur received! Very happy.

The retirement visa requirements are confusing me. You have to open a Thai bank account and maintain a minimum balance  to apply for the retirement visa, but in order to open the account, you have to show that you already have a long-term visa…. which you can’t get until you get the bank account ? Can someone please straighten me out?
