Has anyone applied for the DTV from the London Embassy recently? I just want to know whether to wait for the 500k to have been in my account for 3 or 6 months..

Thanks

Good afternoon all.

Firstly) When applying for soft power visa, is it acceptable to write occupation as unemployed? I have the said amount of savings and every other document. Just apprehensive about the unemployed part.

Secondly) it asks when I will leave Thailand and what is my flight info. I have no plans and no flight as I intend on staying for 6 months and will purchase an exit flight closer to the time. Any help on what to write on this application would be greatly appreciated

Thank you 🙏

I applied for a DTV via Jakarta consulate Monday April 21 around midday and it is now Friday the 25th and the status has not changed from "Pending Document Check.". Is this normal?

I still have to apply for a dependent DTV if/after I get approved so looks like I will be in Indonesia longer than I was hoping. At least it's a beautiful place with wonderful people.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone.

I’m a freelancer content creator based in Dubai.

I in the process of preparing my documents for the DTV. I got everything almost.

I made a freelancer portfolio, I wrote a cover letter describing my work and attached screenshots and links for my social media profile. Also I attached recent invoices and receipts showing that I received money from collaborating with brands and organizations.

I just want someone who has done it before to take a look at it and give more insights.

If you buy a condo or villa, does that count as the 800k thai baht needed for a visa? I read something that said that once, but never saw it anywhere else, so I wanted to be sure.

Hello

The company for which my husband and I work approved our move to Thailand and the possibility of working remotely from there. So, next step: application. Can you give me an idea of the time it takes since we apply until we can actually go? To guide our times

Thanks a lot

Hi Guys I entered on DTV last month.

I am already staying in Thailand for 1 month and going to extend my vacation for more 2 months. I heard we have to do reporting if we are staying more than 90 days.

Let me know if I have to do 90 days reporting and whats the process? 🙏

Hi team, I am brand new to the group. Appreciate you allowing me to join.

I retired in the UK recently at 60 and came over here on the visa on arrival. I already have a house with my Thai wife in Bang Saray. I now need to apply for my retirement visa.

I have had a Thai bank account for a few years and can show I have enough funds. We have taken some pictures together in different rooms in our house, the garden and in front of the house number. I believe I also need a pinned google map showing the house location. That’s as far as I have got.

Can I please ask what else I need ?

Cheers,

Paul
