Hi! For those applying from non-English speaking countries, what's the right way to translate documents for the visa? Do they need to be certified or notarized? Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

In order to respond to all those who asked me what additional documents the embassy asked me for before approval, see the summary of requirements below:

Requested Documents:

1. Biodata page of your passport

2. Official bank statement issued directly by your bank (via official website or physical branch).

Must include: your full name as account holder, transaction history, and most updated balance.

Note Screenshots are not accepted.

3. Proof of current location in Spain. Examples include: electricity bill, municipal registration certificate (padrón), or rental agreement under your name.

4. Proof of last 3 self-employment payments (autónomo). Official receipts or confirmations of your last three freelance/self-employed tax or social security contributions.

5. Concise overview of your professional activities in Thailand. A short explanation of my business or professional engagements during my stay in Thailand.

Include how you will generate income while residing there.

6. Concrete evidence of your job. Documents that demonstrate and verify your professional status (portfolio, client list, contracts, content, etc.).

Hello, I want to apply for the DTV in germany because I will be there to visit my family before going to Thailand. I'm a german citizen but I'm not registered in germany for more than 2 years as I'm travelling the world. Now I read that they want an official proof of registration of the residence in germany.

Is anybody here who has the same situation and any experience with this?

Update: Thank you for the help so far. For all who understand german I attach a screenshot of the website of the embassy of Berlin. I think it's easier to understand what I mean.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have a question regarding DTV visa financial rrquirement. Is it necessary for the 500,000 Baht to be maintained in my bank account for at least 3 months prior to the application? Or would it be acceptable to deposit the full amount as a one-time transaction and simply request a bank certificate for submission? I have in and out money in my bank account but no maintaining balance with that amount. Thanks!

Edited: i have Philippines passport. Applying in PH- thai embassy

hi! for the bank statements, does it need to be printed from the bank? or i can use my statements generated through their online website? thank you!

Hi There,

You have to have your Accomodation and Flight booked to apply for your DTV Visa, which I believe can take between 2- 4 weeks to be approved.

I would ideally like to leave in three weeks for Chiang Mai. If the visa isnt' approved by then, am I able to enter on a holiday visa and then switch over to the DTV visa once I am there?

Hello everyone wave 👋

Has anyone here applied for a digital nomad visa? What was the process like and how easy was it to obtain. I have my own online business and I’m looking at applying, just wondering if there is any advice to make the process easier.

Thank you

Hello,

can someone share his experience in Topping up his Bank Account before applying for the DTV which the Embassy can see on the Bank statements? For Example if i am applying for Soft Power and they see in the last 6 Month Bank Statements that i topped up my Bank Account for like 200k THB in 2 different Payments. Could that be a problem or are they don t care that much as long as it s not a one big payment?

Does anyone have any actual knowledge on how long one needs to have been freelancing before applying?

I've seen conflicting statements here:

"You have no chance applying with a "new" business"

"Need to show 6 months minimum of income"

"Need to show tax return"

"It doesn't matter as long as you can prove you're a business".

So does anyone have the real deal info on whether someone can be accepted if they started getting clients, say, 3 months ago?

Hi, I went to the immigration office in Bangkok to extend my stay for another 30 days to finish my internship. I have a Non-B visa, and they told me I need to bring a "certificate and request for extension of stay from the embassy". I spoke with the embassy, and they said they don't issue that and no one has ever asked them for it. Did anyone encounter this or know what to do?
