ORIGINAL POSTER
Arrived into BKK (Suvarnabhumi) this morning. There was a long queue. When I reach the IO, from me giving her my passport to her handing it back to me: took less than 2 minutes! Unbelievable. She was super fast. Zero questions asked! This was my 10th entry (3 entries into DMK, 7th entry into BKK, yeah I'm in and out a lot) and all 10 entries have had ZERO questions asked. Pro tip: give the IO your passport+visa printout+boarding pass all at the same time. That pretty much guarantees you won't be asked anything. TDAC is auto-displayed on her monitor when she scans your passport.

This might help someone. I am a Canadian passport holder in the Philippines. I applied for DTV digital nomad visa. Filled out the form and included my youtube channel and my English teacher profile from Cambly.

1st request for additional document. Last 3 months of finances. Not just a screen shot of my balance.

They also wanted to see my latest entry stamp to thr Philippines. I attached a photo and thr 30 renewal receipt

For proof of address I attached my airbnb receipt.

2nd time they requested proof funds again. looks like they only looked at the first page of the pdf that had e separate bank accounts)

This time I wrote a letter explaining over 700K THB between accounts that I have immediate access to. I also included my PayPal balance of 50K just in case

Tips: Provide multiple pdfs combined in 1 since it only allows you to upload 1 pdf.

Make it easy for them. I even converted thr CAD to THB

I got approved in 5 business days including the 2 request for documents
