Hello Group,

For some reason my earlier post about my getting my DTV soft power was rejected so i try again! :-D

Just got my DTV soft power activities approved from the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta through a Thai culinairy training with House of Taste cooking in Bangkok. Highly recommended, applied for it on 6th of august and it was granted today!

I would like to join my wife in Thailand, she is a Thai national. Unfortunately ii jut found out that I need $400,000 Thai baht. Is there not a cheaper way/ Any advice would be appreciated

Hi!

Hoping to get clarity and some help from all.

Just got my final approval document for thr LTR Wealthy Pensioner. Yay!

It was my understanding that I would next have to get a stamp issued in my passport. I live in

NYC.

Called NYC embassy twice-of course 2 different answers. They are now telling me i need to apply for the e-visa. Once that’s done i will get another document that i am supposed to take with me upon my next arrival in Thailand to get the stamp in my passport.

I litetally just got back and plan on moving permanently Oct 1. The issuance is valid for 60 days so does that mean i have to fly to Thailand to get the stamp, come back, them move on Oct 1?? Ugh. Or would the e-visa document give me a new timeline?

Any info greatly appreciated

Thx all.

For anyone applying in Canada right now, just wanted to share because I was super nervous before applying and just timing everything accordingly to my move - but DTV was approved from start to finish in 1 day

Submitted everything yesterday, one more document requested at 10am today, fully approved and emailed to me this afternoon

Submitted employment portfolio, 3 months of bank statements then they just requested a copy of my business license and I was good to go!

UPDATED POST WITH MY PROCESS FOR APPLICATION AND SPOUSAL APPLICATION

Hey everyone!

I have just reentered into BKK on my DTV (my second since getting it in February) and my husband has just entered on his, via being a spouse dependent on mine.

This was the quickest and easiest immigration entry I've ever done.

I can, if anyone wants to know, both processes for applying for a DTV, as myself and then for my husband.

Let me know in the comments.

Approved for DTV (workcation) in under 24 hours. Thanks to everyone here sharing 😃

I don’t post much in this group, but I’ve been reading everything for the past month or so—and I just want to say thank you to the community.

I finally got my DTVI. I flew into Hanoi on July 8th and got the visa on July 18th.

No extra documents were requested. Here’s what I submitted ahead of time:

* Hotel confirmation

* Entry stamp

* Cash App statements from the last three months

* Business registration

* EIN

* Articles of organization

* Receipt from registering my business

* Client portfolio showing the actual work I do

* A work letter from myself, since I own Tony Destin LLC (to be honest, I had ChatGPT help write it)

That’s it.

I know a lot of people have been trying to go the Muay Thai visa route, but I avoided that since there’s been a bunch of issues with it lately. I came in on the workation path, and it ended up being pretty straightforward.

All, I am just beginning to explore the visa process. I am a U.S. citizen, currently in the U.S. on the Thai embassy website it states that for an OA visa I will need a police clearance letter. Who has done this? Where do you get a police clearance letter? The website suggests the FBI??? My record is spotless. I just don’t know how to go about getting a letter such as This.

I applied for the DTV as a freelancer on July 1. Today they responded requesting one thing: Document indicating current location. I submitted my stay permit. Hoping there are no further issues and it’s approved swiftly! Jakarta.

Update: status changed to pending approval today, July 9

Update 2: received approval today, a few hours later!
