DTV approved in Laos. in 5 working days. Even after they said 700-800 applicants in one day (see my post bellow in group)

27th July flew in and applied.

29th July paid because of Thai holiday.

31st Asked for picture of Laos stamp in passport.

1st of August got interview date for 13th august, sent email asking for faster date, replied in 1h and book for 5th august

5th of august today went for interview at 10am, got approved at 2pm.

If any questions, happy to help :))

My partner and I applied on the same date for our DTV.

Both had the same amount of funds, both submitted the exact same proof info for our soft power DTV, both 100% put our personal info correctly.

However mine was approved and his wasn’t.

We can’t get our heads around this at all and find it really unfair.

Can this just be down to which officer checks your case?

Seems really disheartening.

Hello,

is here anybody who already received DTV (workcation-employee) from Slovakia or Czech republic?

I would like to ask closer information about letter from employer.

My employer think, if he will sing it for me, that he allows me to work remotely from Thailand, he needs to open branch office in Thailand (nowhere found information about that, but he wants to have proof).

So please, anybody from Slovakia or Czech republic, leave comment or send me message, thanks :)

I can’t believe I’m still confused after so much reading and inquiring. I’m in the USA and planning to apply online for a 90-day non O “retirement” visa.

I thought there were no “bank account” requirements to accomplish this first step. I understand the 800,000 baht seasoned for two months in a Thai account for LATER but if proof of funds IS required just to get the non O visa can somebody please clarify that for me? Yes, I can research elsewhere but I prefer hearing the details from people who really know the facts. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I applied for my Thai visa on June 24, and my flight is on August 9, but my application is still stuck on “Pending document check” status.

It hasn’t changed for weeks.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Is there anything I can do to get an update or response before my departure?

Any help or advice would be really appreciated 🙏

Hello.

I had a none o visa that I extended by means of a re entry permit when I left Thailand 2 months ago.

That gave me to the original 90 day entry stamp 6th August.

Now I’m back in Thailand, my employer has changed my flight to leave after this date now.

Can I extend my stay at immigration?

I don’t want a 7 day overstay stamp TBH.

Hey everyone! 🙌

I’ve searched this group thoroughly and checked the official websites, but I couldn’t find clear answers to these specific questions — so I hope it’s okay to ask directly here. I’d *really* appreciate any insights or recent experiences you’re willing to share!

1. Income Requirements for the DTV (Workcation) Visa

I know there’s no *official* minimum income listed for the Workcation category — but from your personal experiences:

* Is there a general income level where people usually get approved?

* Or an income range where people tend to get denied?

I’m trying to figure out if the Workcation route is realistic for me, or if I should look into other visa options.

2. Financial Documents from Brazil

Since my company is based in Brazil, my tax documents are from the Brazilian tax agency.

* Do they need to be apostilled, or is a printout from the official tax site + translation enough?

* Can I translate them myself into English, or does it need to be done by a certified translator (in Brazil or Thailand)?

3. Originals vs. Digital Copies (Work Contracts or Proof of Income)

One of the companies I work with (in Norway) will provide a letter confirming my work and income, but they’ll send it as a PDF by email, not a physical original.

* Are PDF versions accepted, or do Thai immigration/embassies ever ask for the original hard copies?

Thanks so much in advance — I truly appreciate any tips, insights, or real experiences you’re open to sharing! 🙏

What does “finished” status mean for DTV?

So I have a rental property that I manage remotely. Basically it's one property and I am the landlord. Is that sufficient to get a DTV Visa? Thank you

Hello community!

I read that there are more than few cases of being questioned upon entry and having to show some documents (workation) that should match the one you used to apply.

Is this true?
