Hi, I have my bank statement in Spanish. I want to go make my DTV VISA process in Laos.

Should I translate my bank statement? And in that case, what platform do you recommend to do it better? I would like to do it for free, because certified translators seem to be quite expensive.

I'm in Thailand with a DTV and planning to be here as long as the DTV allows me (with the included extensions and re-entries) to its maximum. I'm a Digital Nomad, and was wondering if my type of situation has some chance of opening a bank account in Bangkok? Sure I can hop around and ask every branch, but if someone on DTV had success in some specific branches/banks, I'd like to know.

Hello everyone, I need advice, according to the visa-free rules I can enter twice a calendar year, I entered Thailand on January 13, 2025, left on January 22 and entered again on January 26, on January 28 2025 I flew home, on April 11 I want to fly again, and so I'm wondering if I can still use the visa-free regime or do I need to open a multiple-entry visa? I would be grateful for your help 🙏

Hello,

I'll be heading to laos next week(Vientiane) to submit my application and I'm not really sure what to do under the occupation part. I'm not yet at state pension age but do get a small monthly private pension (not a great deal) . I haven't worked for a few years but I don't really need to, so was wondering should I just put unemployed? I have more than the required 500,000 in one account that has been in there for around a year but if I put unemployed I wonder whether they will see the small monthly deposits from the pension fund and get a bit curious? I know no one can say for sure but I'm torn between the putting retirement or unemployed.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I’m thrilled to share that my DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) was approved today by the Hanoi embassy! It’s such a relief, and I’m still in awe that such a visa exists—it feels absolutely amazing. I applied as a remote worker, and this opens up so many exciting possibilities for me.

A huge thank you to everyone in this group for the invaluable information and support. It’s been incredibly helpful throughout this process.

Next on my list is finding a great place to live and opening a Thai bank account. A new chapter is beginning, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead. I wish the same success for all of you pursuing this visa!

If anyone has questions or needs advice, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to help!
