Hi all.

I need some assistance in applying for a DTV visa.

Me and my husband is from S.A and he work in Thailand as a teacher.

I have a Ed visa study Thai but it ends now and I have to get another visa.

He's school don't assist with a letter to follow him on Non O Visa and I know to run borders with a tourist visa will also just be temp and short term so I was looking into a DTV visa.

I applied for Preply but not active yet but like to start to working online with DTV visa

My question is.. If I don't have a proof of income now will Thai Immigrations approve my registration?

I also notice they request a registred buss documents.Will Preply approved assist on application?

I notice the amout of 600 000 THB saving in 6 months bank statements and its not the problem.Only my recent income and registration.

Any advise will be so much appreciated.

Thank you🧘‍♀️

*Edit* Printed out the visa. Handed it to the immigration officer with my passport. 0 questions asked. A simple thank you and smile and that was it.

Edit2 I forgot to mention I already had a 1 year lease agreement that expires in November with my name in it. I provided it in full with my application.

Edit3* I have been living in Thailand for 3+ years already on a Special Tourist Visa , Ed visa, a few border bounces and a couple of visa on arrival through the airport.

DTV Approved from HCMC as a contract worker. I'm Canadian and teach English online for a reputable platform.

Prepared all of my documents and uploaded them to the E-visa site ahead of time.

1) Proof of work. Provided:

- a certificate provided by my company stating I work for them on a contractual basis.

- My full contract

- Screenshots of my profile page with hyperlinks and step by step instructions on how to access my public profile showing in active status.

- My company would not provide a registration number but I found it online from a regulatory body in the country it is based in. I also provided hyperlinks to this site so they could find it themselves then provided the number and explanation in my cover letter.

2) Proof of Income

- 6 months of bank statements from an account in Canada. I only had the necessary funds for over 1 month. It was around 100,000baht for the 5 previous months.

- screen shots of payments for 6 months from my payment profile page with my end balances and my lump sum deposit 1 month before highlighted

- statement of received payments for 6 months with another bank account with dates and amounts corresponding with my payment profile page.

*I did not hide anything on the statements. I've read about too many people doing this and it only leads to a request for the full document and/or problems

3) Proof of location

- picture of boarding pass

- picture of visa stamp into Vietnam

- proof of accommodation

4) Cover letter explaining anything unclear in a bullet format. Also stated that I will respect all Thai laws and authorities and will not work illegally in Thailand.

Timeline:

- Flew into HCMC on March 6. Submitted application around 6pm.

- Friday morning stays showed awaiting approval

- Received approval of DTV March 13 @ 14:00

- waiting at the airport as I type to fly into Thailand now.

Overall a very smooth process. One important note is that I manually entered all of my information. Even though it autofilled my passport info correctly I did not want any potential glitches to cause issues. There are too many stories of applications being cancelled because of this. People please triple check all of you information before submitting. I cannot stress this enough.

Another note for those of you that have a cc. I signed up for the Adobe 1 week free trial. It will then give you the option to extend the free trial an additional week if you check close to the end of your first free week. Adobe will protect your data better than the free pdf editors you find online. Protect yourself. I wish I did before using them a few times before.

Ask me anything. This group has been so helpful for me so a big thank you to you all.
