Hi! Thanks to this group for the informations shared. I'd like share too my experience maybe can be useful for someone applying from Italy.

I applied for Dtv soft power in Rome Embassy.

I upload documents from school, my bank statement from wise (money put just 2 day before my application) and ID card number for residence.

Additional documents asked: ticket for Thailand ( I already give to them but they didn't see...I upload again).

In 4 days received mail with approved visa.

Fast and easy when you have all documents ok.

Yesterday I went to our local immigration office to obtain a re-entry permit. I have a couple of trips planned so I asked him if I require to do a new digital TM6 as I return on the 2nd May. Basically my logic says no as I've been issued a permit. The IO was unable to answer the question.

Isn't it more beneficial to just take Euros with you and to exchange? Pay now each atm withdrawal is 220 baht plus cost from my bank in the Netherlands? Mvg deep down

Is het niet voordeliger om gewoon euro, s mee te nemen en om te wisselen? Betaal nu ben elke atm opname 220 baht plus kosten van mijn bank in Nederland? Mvg jeroen

Hi all. Is the Visa Exempt still 60 days and will this still be available in February ? UK Passport holder.

I have a few DTV questions - I appreciate everyone's help in advance:

1. If I apply for DTV under workcation and get approval and then apply for my husband and kid's for their DTV - can my husband work remote as well under this "dependent" DTV?

2. I don't want to book any flights to Thailand until we all have approval - has anyone had their DTV application recently approved without providing an already booked flight confirmation and accommodation booking?

2 a) In case they end up requiring a flight booking - does anyone have a reliable website for a temp booking confirmation that would be sufficient?

3. If I don't have a flight until 2 months out - do you think they would take longer to process my application?

Thanks everyone

Im British arrive Thailand 22 May, will i need to complete an ETA?

Do you know if new ETA system requests is working from now? I am Belgian, I don't need a visa to go to Thailand but there is a new rule since 2025. We need to ask to stay officially and it should be free of charges. I don't find any request form to ask such a thing on internet.

I live in the uk but don’t have a British passport how ever I do hold a British travel document and I’m planing to go Thailand do I have to apply for a visa before hand or can I get one on arrival?

My workation DTV Visa application has been approved by the Ho Chi Minh embassy in Vietnam.

I submitted my application via the evisa system, and it took 5 days to receive the application approval email. No extra documents requested.

I read a lot of useful information in this group, so I am sharing my experience to help others. Here are the documents I included:

## Proof of current location:

1. Vietnam passport stamp

2. Hotel booking confirmation

3. Selfie outside hotel in Vietnam

4. Flight to Thailand

## Proof of employment:

1. Cover letter describing my business and how it functions entirely remotely.

2. Business registration document

3. Certificate of Incorporation

4. Signed document appointing myself as director

5. Screenshots of stripe payouts and gross volume.

6. Screenshots of the business website, and stripe analytics page.

## Personal documents:

1. Passport bio data page

2. Two bank account statements, each with 500k+. Showing 6 months of data.

Other Points:

* The maximum file size for the PDF documents is 3MB. You can also only upload one document for each section. I used adobe acrobat to compile the files, you can select "reduce file size" at export to keep it well below 3MB.

* Double check all of your details are entered correctly. I have seen other applications get rejected for not adding their middle name for example. Rejection = pay the application fee again.

* Recently, I noticed many posts of embassies requesting more documents. One is 6 months of bank statements, and the other is a booked flight to Thailand. Make sure to include these to avoid the extra trouble.

Feel free to comment any questions and I'll do my best to help.

**Applied for DTV - Workcation in Pakistan – Pending Documents Check

**

I applied for the DTV in Pakistan on 7th January. Here's the timeline of events:

1. 8th January: I received a request to submit my CNIC, hotel booking, and flight ticket. I promptly provided all the required documents.

2. 10th January: I was asked to submit a clear passport picture, a return ticket (yes, they requested a return ticket), and my hotel booking again. I explained that I don’t have a hotel booking because I’ve rented a property in Krabi with a lease valid until the end of June 2025.

My flights are landing and departing from Bangkok, which might have caused some confusion. If needed, I also have a flight ticket from Bangkok to Krabi that I can provide.

Since 10th January, my application status has remained on "Pending Documents Check."

I finally managed to reach the Thai Embassy after numerous attempts. I explained my situation and emphasized that my flight date is approaching. Unfortunately, the response was that the embassy has no control over the process and that I will receive an update once the headquarters (Bangkok Consular Department) approves my application. I requested if they could follow up with the headquarters, but the call was abruptly disconnected.

For context:

* When I initially applied for the DTV, the embassy staff suggested applying for a TR visa instead, as it reportedly has a higher chance of approval. However, as a Pakistani passport holder, a TR visa would allow only a 60-day stay with no extension under normal circumstances. Additionally, I wouldn’t be able to apply for a DTV from another country due to passport restrictions.

At this point, all I can do is wait and hope for the best.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
