I made my request 2 times for DTV with a muy Thai school, the first request to Ho Chi Minh was refused (I had returned to Thailand before the answer I did not know...). But I remade my application in Hanoi a few days ago, I have absolutely all the necessary documents and amount, but they still refused....without any explanation... I don't know what to do it's a lot of money for nothing. Do you have any advice?

Hey Everyone,

I applied for DTV a few weeks ago (Thai Embassy Munich) and haven’t received it yet.

I am arriving in Thailand tomorrow!

Which is not a problem for now, since I am just staying for 70 Days and can just use tourist visa + go to immigration for extension after 60 days

(Or maybe get an agency, who does this for me?)

BUT do you know if my DTV application is terminated, when I travel to Thailand without it? Because in the application they asked for my flight and day of arrival😬

That would be very sad to just spend the money for nothing

Thanks for your help!

Is flying into Chiang Mai really a problem for DTV (Workcation)?

I need to re-enter and want to holiday in Chiang Mai with my Thai girlfriend afterwards, but ideally I'd just meet her there rather than taking her to Vietnam with me. I really don't want to fly back to BKK to catch another flight.

Hey. I just got my DTV approved earlier in November. I left Thailand to go home to celebrate xmas and new years with the family before I plan my return early January. I noticed after I got back that I didn't get a "departed" stamp in my passport. Will this matter much when I re enter Thailand?

Thanks 🤗

Hi i recently applied for a dtv in Hanoi on the 6th Dec through a language school but was rejected on the 11th Dec without requesting additional documents or any given reason. I had bank statements with well over the minimum however I did black out my account number.

I'm thinking of heading to Vientiane and reapplying. Should I use the same school papers or go through an agency and do Muay Thai.

Has any one had experience or shed some light on a second application.

Thanks in advance.

Just need clarification. I entered Thailand visa free. I applied for non-o in Australia. I have just received visa today. Do I have to leave Thailand and re-enter on non-o or can it be done while still in country?

Hey, everyone! I just got a new passport because my old one expired. Do I need to go to the immigration office to transfer the stamps?(E-visa) cheers 🙏

My DTV is with my old passport. I went to Hong Kong Thai embassy to ask for new passpot number change, but they told me to go back to the immigration in Thailand to ask for change it.

It's still ok to get in to the Thai boarder with DTV with my old passport and new passport?

Does the "savings" account need to be the same as the bank account income is deposited into? I guess I would just show the history of both accounts?

Hi, have gone through the helpful discussions and useful comments extensively, but still have a couple questions causing some anxiety/confusion, so appreciate all assistance and advice for the below;

1) What is everyone using the cover letter for? Just explaining why they want the DTV? Or as a menu of their submitted documents or combination of both.

2) will be applying from Vietnam because went to my home base country & was they didn't process any DTV's there, so looking at Hanoi - any major cons/pros versus applying in HCMC?

3) does anyone have experience with multiple sources of remote income? (Ie: I tutor remotely and also work remotely for a company based in EU). Is it better to put just the company role? Or include both to show higher overall income?

4) can I start filling out the online portal with my documents before arriving Vietnam (but NOT submitting till after I’m in country) ?

5) and would a ready to start rental agreement for 6 months that is dated to begin for when I arrive in Thailand with the DTV ? (Have found a landlord and place to rent, but didn’t want to start prior to being approved)

*otherwise, I have 6-9 months of invoices/payments from both jobs & 6-9 months of more than the 500k required as well. Along with letter, contract etc from my employer and 4 months of invoices and matching payments from my remote tutoring. And will have ofc the hotel booking, and such paid and sorted before arriving in Vietnam.

Much appreciated in advance!
