Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask: Has anyone applied for the visa while being in Cambodia?

And - Do you know if those 5,000,000 baht have to be on your bank account only for the specific day when handing in the application or do you have to have those 5 mio on your bank account for like 3 months or something...?

I am asking because I will have some major costs very soon and I am considering applying for the DTV before spending bigger amounts of money (because then I would not have those 5 mio anymore).

Thank you very much in advance.🙏

DTV Interview in Taipei – Seeking Advice & Insights

I’ve been asked to come in for an interview as part of my application for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Taipei, and I have to admit, I’m a bit surprised by this request. Given that my situation seems to align perfectly with the DTV’s requirements, I didn’t anticipate needing an interview.

For context, I work for an American company and want to work remotely from Thailand (because I am literally allowed to work anywhere and I have to travel anyways very often to Asia-pacific region for work, of course excluding Thailand). I’ve provided proof of my financial independence, my work contract, and the business license of the company I work for etc.

I’ve never applied for a Thai visa before and have always entered the country under the tourist exemption scheme (30 days, and recently 60 days). Therefore, I can guess maybe they have questions about my frequent entries and exits from Thailand over the past 1.5 years? The honest truth is, my business travel schedule has kept me outside the country most of the time, so I haven’t overstayed or violated any visa regulations. When I am in Chiang Mai, I’ve been living with my boyfriend (who is not Thai national but has an elite visa).

With that in mind, I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this interview process in Taipei. I’ve read some posts, but I still woud like to ask:

1. General overview of the interview process: What’s the vibe? Is it more formal or laid-back?

2. How was the overall interview? What questions did they ask for you?

3. TM30 question: Do they ask about TM30 registrations?

I’d really appreciate any guidance or reassurance you can offer. Thank you so much to this community for your help!

I have a question, probably a dumb one.

I know we are supposed to stay in the country we submitted the application.

I've also seen some people who went in Thailand before getting the visa, then do a border run to activate the visa.

Is there any issue so far? I just want to know the level of risk. Thank you. Cheers!

Good morning to everyone.

In a few months me and my wonderful Thai wife for 38 years will be coming over to Thailand to leave the rest of our remaining years.

We already have registered our marriage and I have the yellow book.

Question is: what is the proper procedure step by step for a visa to leave there for ever starting from Australia.

Thank you all in advance and may you all have a wonderful Sunday.

I like.to live in Thailand. I have pension. And meeting someone there. Iam Swedish. What shall i do?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here is the list of documents I have prepared in advance:

✅ A recent passport photo (without a smile).

✅ A clear passport scan.

✅ Bank statment in English for the last six months.

✅ Approval for managing an account in Englis.

✅ A business license or notarized translation of the license, along with your business and personal details.

✅ A signature confirmation for managing the business (notarized).

✅ A copy of the main page of my site, with my website address included.

✅ Four financial invoices translated into English.

✅ A confirmed flight ticket.

**✅ hotel booking in vietnam

**

My Questions:

1. Should I submit everything online while I am in Vietnam, or do I need to visit the Thai Embassy in person?

2. Should I stay in Ho Chi Minh City and wait for the visa, or am I allowed to travel to other cities while it is being processed?

3. Will I receive the visa by email, or do I need to collect it physically?

4. Am I missing any documents, or is my preparation complete?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi asking for some advice, sor for a long post

I’m in the process of a divorce with my thai wife, we lived outside Chiang Mai near Doisaket so now have to start all over again, don’t really have much in Australia

I have to change visa’s as marriage visa no longer an option so considering this visa as a possibility but not sure

I work offshore on ships in Australia/ worldwide (mainly Australia) 4 on/ 4 off & want to stay living in Thailand as have been here for around 12yrs & have been seeing a doctor since August 24 for some serious health conditions (heart) & diabetes

Not sure if DVT or LVR is best? DVT is cheaper but not sure if I would qualify under workcation as technically I work remotely on ships in Australia or worldwide but not a digital nomad

Under soft options I could use my medical treatment but does the doctors need to be accepted/registered through /with this visa?

LTR initially 5 times the amount, 10 year visa, I meet the salary conditions under the “work from Thailand professional” can work for a Thai company, have health cover fo US$50K

Any advice if offshore would pass as work remotely or not for the workcattion & the soft option for my medical conditions & if any doctor can be used or if they have to be part of a conglomerate (BKK hospital or similar private system ect)

Just got accepted DTV visa in cambodia phnom penh. Took 17 days because of holidays but finally its done. Thanks for all people share valuable infos.

For reference purposes:

Just got approved for the DTV.

Type: workcation (full-time employee for a company in The Netherlands)

Location: Ho Chi Minh City

Application date: 6 Jan

Documents supplied:

6 months bank statements, Revolut, with closing balance of 15,500 euro (over 500,000 baht)

1 year worth of payslips

Employment contract, translated to english by myself (not legalised/authenticated)

Letter from my senior manager approving remote work specifically for the DTV (not legalised/authenticated)

Legalised Chamber of Commerce extract of the company i work for

On the 9th I got requested for extra documents, requesting more details of my role in the company, CV, portfolio, work examples and supporting materials demonstrating experience and qualifications.

Wrote a letter explaining my role, going into detail what work i do and what my daily workday looks like. Reminded them that i am a full-time employee, not a freelancer so I can't provide a portfolio, work examples, etc. Also mentioned due to the nature of my job, i am bound by a confidentiality clause.

Went to "pending approval" on the 10th.

Approved today.

So happy as I was a little afraid i would get rejected due to the documents not being authenticated by the dutch embassy as it was advised. Glad that stress is now over.

Hi everyone

My daughter 6 years old is on a ED visa - 1 year

She has left Australia for one month over Christmas

However when her one year visa was granted a note was placed in her Passport to report on the 29/1.

Given she has not spent 90 days in. A row in Thailand. Does it become 90 days after she returned in January?
