Got the DTV.

Applied in Taipei Monday Morning.

Soft Power :

-Confirmation of Muay Thai course

-Proof or payment for course

-filled in Visa form with photo

-bank statement 6 months.

Had to get also business registration documents, from Muay Thai Gym and print at 7-11.

Had to come back Tuesday afternoon for an interview.

After interview I paid the fee and then told to come back Wednesday afternoon to pickup my passport.

So in total, the process took around 54 hours start to finish.

And Taipei and the people and food are pretty cool.

I’m having a really hard time finding the application for the DTV visa for the Taipe embassy. Is there anybody here who applied in Taiwan who can comment the link?

Which countries around Thailand can still apply for DTV offline?

Where (around Thailand) can I still ask for DTV visa in person? (not e-visa) 🙏

Arrived at the TTEO (Thailand embassy in Taipei) today, October 2nd and their office is closed. No announcement of a pubic holiday. Anyone have any information?

UPDATE: I found an update on their FB page. They were closed today because of the Krathon typhoon. When they reopen this week probably depends on the length and severity of the storm. Plan accordingly for anyone headed this way.

UPDATE 2: Per their FB page: They're closed again on Thursday, October 3rd.

For those who successfully obtained the DTV as a remote worker, was a letter from your employer (with details of the role, ability to work remotely, etc.) enough? Or did you additionally need to show your employment contract? I work for my family's business so I don't really have a contract in the same way a worker in a corporation would.

For reference, I'm considering applying in Jakarta or Taipei.

I’m applying for DTV in Taipei or HCMC end of October/early Novemebr.

I have cover letter, letter from employer, bank accts with necessary money + highlighted direct deposits into my bank acct from my employer, USA drivers license, house rental contract in Thailand, and USA passport, birth certificates for all 4 kids and marriage certificate for my wife.

I’m coming off a 1 year work permit here in Thailand. Been living here for 2 years.

3 questions

Where is a printable DTV visa form? (All I can find online is E visa form)

Do I need a form for each of my kids and wife for their follower on my DTV? Or do I just give embassy their passports with my application?

Do I pay 10,000baht for each of my family members too?

Any recommendation on HCMC vs Taipei?

Thanks in advance. I’ll let you know how it went.

Are Taipei or HCMC accepting Wise accounts in lieu of bank statement?

Hi everyone, I’m a business owner in the UK and live in Thailand. I need to apply for the DTV from outside Thailand. I recently moved over 500k from my business account to my personal one, and I’m wondering where the best place to apply is. From what I’ve read, Taipei seems like the best option—can anyone confirm this?

My ED visa expires on October 13th, so I’m short on time. Will a one-month bank statement showing today’s transfer be enough, or should I show a business bank statement with my name and the company details?

If anyone has been in a similar situation, your advice would be appreciated. Do I need to fly there and apply in person, or book an appointment online first? Should I wait to book my return flight to Thailand?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Taipei - do they still issue DTV within same day? Colleague got response from them today that it takes up to 3 days if all documents are in place, if missing - up to 5 days. On the other hand, when i inquired, they told me same day. Possible that the volume of applications have increased hence longer time to process? anybody applied last week or so and got it same day? Also, has anyone booked a hotel not far from the office? if yes, could you please recommend. thanks in advance!
