Want to get my thai dtv from my home country of the philippines. Do I need $15,000 USD in my bank? If so, could it be my filipino bank?

Hasn't happened but just wondering.

If you are applying for DTV from Vietnam, and for some reason you are rejected can you still enter Thailand on the 60 day visa exempt etc. I cant see why you wouldn't be able to but just wondering.

Back Story - I will be headed to Thailand in November and will travel with my daughter to Vietnam to apply for the DTV ( soft Muay Thai) then once approved will head back to Thailand with her before heading home

DTV Workcation Visa Approved – Chennai Consulate (Indian Citizen)

Just got my Digital Workcation Visa (DTV) approved through the Royal Thai Consulate in Chennai as a freelancer. Sharing my experience here since posts in this group helped me a lot, thanks to everyone!

Application Approach:

I went all-out with my submission to avoid any back-and-forth. Here's what I included:

Documents Submitted:

- Table of Contents: Listed all documents in order for clarity.

- Cover Letter: Brief intro about me and my intention to work remotely from Thailand.

- Professional Portfolio: Showcased my freelance work (art, design, promo material) + screenshots from Fiverr and Etsy shop.

- Business Docs: Company registration and GST certificate.

- NOC Letter: From my company (signed by me and my partner) stating:

1) All work is remote.

2) I’m approved to work from Thailand or any other country of my choosing.

3) I won’t work with Thai clients or take physical employment in Thailand.

- Latest Tax Returns

Financial Proof:

- Explanation Note: Clarified that I use 2 bank accounts. Highlighted:

Payments from clients (in yellow)

Closing balances (in green)

Total converted from INR to THB

- Bank Statements: From Jan 1st (they only asked for 3 months, but I included more to show bigger transactions from Feb/March).

Proof of Current Location:

Some of my official documents had name order mismatches(surname appearing before first name) vs. passport, so I avoided using those.

Used an app to take timestamped, GPS-tagged photos of:

Every page in my passport.

My live location on Google Maps.

Included an explanation note about the app and methodology.

Additional Document Request:

Got request for “Proof of Accommodation” 1 hour after visa fee cleared (via demand draft on Sept 1).

Booked a free cancellation hotel for 1 month on Agoda.

Submitted:

1) Confirmed flight ticket (Chennai → Bangkok)

2) Hotel booking receipt

3) Explanation note: Hotel will be base while I search for a long-term rental in person.

Timeline:

August 28th: Application submitted and demand draft submitted in person to Thai Consulate.

Sept 1: Payment cleared → pending document check

Sept 1 (1 hr later): Request for extra doc

Sept 3: Visa approved!

Super smooth and fast experience overall. I probably over-prepared, but I didn’t wanna have to keep going back and forth with additional document requests. Thank you once again and let me know if you have any questions 🙂

Can anyone advise whether to use agency or by myself? I have ED visa staying in Thailand and thought to apply for DTV visa for digital nomad. I'm not sure what document I need and when I apply for it, should cancel ED visa? Is that going to be risky if I dont DTV visa?

Can you guys also recommend easy embassy that will approve DTV visa easily?

I'm thinking of applying through embassy in Vietnam? Could anyone advise step by step?

Starting to feel a bit defeated. We (60+) are coming from Canada in September but struggling to find a visa that we can make work for us. My husband and I are able to scrape together 800,000 baht for one Non OA visa, the rest of our money is in retirement portfolios (RRSPs).

I was thinking I could come on a Non O trailing spouse 90 day and extend to match his once we arrive. Has ANYONE done this??

Could someone please tell me how a senior, from Canada can get a six months visa and which one is the best. Thank you

Best visa for male 49 who will marry a thai woman and live in thailand and open a small business ??

Ok.. so I arrive in Phuket in a couple of weeks( pre 1st May ).

I have accomodation for a couple of weeks and will source year long accomodation when I land.

Seeking a Non O retirement visa.

I take a TM30 with relevant docs and try to open a bank account c/w B800000.

This will take a week.

The 800k has to season for 2 months before I apply for the visa but I’m only left with 7 weeks on my visa exempt( NZer).

Do I apply for a 1 month extension or best to do a boarder run a week before my 60 days run out then I can apply for an extension if needed?

TIA

I'm so pissed off about some comments here. I've got the visa, I can work here remotely for overseas companies, I can pay taxes here, I can stay here for 5 years (with flights every 6 months). I don't have to pretend I'm a tourist, because I'm not, and it's clearly stated in my visa and my other documents. Period.

Are you a lawyer and want to force people to use your services? Why do you spread misinformation?

Looking for advice or info on how to get your child’s (born in Thailand but European) non o dependant visa without having to leave the country. Tia! 🙏
