Hi everyone, thank you so much — your posts have been incredibly helpful and I really appreciate this community! 🙏

I have a question about the financial documents for the DTV application. I'm planning to apply from Taiwan.

I currently have the following:

* 5 million JPY in a fixed deposit account (fully liquid, I can withdraw it anytime). This is approximately 1.1 million THB.

* 500,000 JPY in a regular bank account, which is about 110,000 THB.

I read from previous posts that PayPal is not accepted, so I’m not planning to submit that.

However, most of my income in the past year has been received through PayPal, and I haven’t been transferring it to my bank account regularly.

This is because the Japanese yen has dropped significantly in value, and my Japanese bank requires me to convert the funds into JPY when withdrawing from PayPal, which I’m trying to avoid.

So, while I have enough income and transaction history in PayPal to prove financial stability, I understand this might not be valid for DTV.

Just to confirm: would income shown in PayPal still count if not withdrawn into a bank account?

Also, regarding the fixed deposit — I know it’s liquid and accessible, but can it be used as valid financial proof for the DTV?

I run my own business and do not have any income from Thailand, so I believe I meet the other criteria.

But I’m a bit unsure about whether my current documents for proof of funds and income are acceptable when applying in Taiwan.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Can anyone link me to information/requirements and application form for Non Immigrant O visa (retirement) in Taiwan please? I see all other categories on the TTEO (edit: Thai embassy in Taiwan) website except this one. (Note: I am not permanent resident here.)

And if you have any tips/info to share about the process for this visa in Taiwan, that'd be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, Hope you are having a good day.

Has anyone recently applied for the DTV visa in any of the neighboring countries around Thailand?

I would love to hear about your experiences and any tips that might help as I want to apply for it soon.

I've got 2 months left on my current visa so I'm not in a rush.

Thanks for reading.

For those that applied in Taiwan, do they ask to see the contract for remote employees? and do they check the starting and finishing date? also

Thanks

DTV Interview in Taipei – Seeking Advice & Insights

I’ve been asked to come in for an interview as part of my application for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Taipei, and I have to admit, I’m a bit surprised by this request. Given that my situation seems to align perfectly with the DTV’s requirements, I didn’t anticipate needing an interview.

For context, I work for an American company and want to work remotely from Thailand (because I am literally allowed to work anywhere and I have to travel anyways very often to Asia-pacific region for work, of course excluding Thailand). I’ve provided proof of my financial independence, my work contract, and the business license of the company I work for etc.

I’ve never applied for a Thai visa before and have always entered the country under the tourist exemption scheme (30 days, and recently 60 days). Therefore, I can guess maybe they have questions about my frequent entries and exits from Thailand over the past 1.5 years? The honest truth is, my business travel schedule has kept me outside the country most of the time, so I haven’t overstayed or violated any visa regulations. When I am in Chiang Mai, I’ve been living with my boyfriend (who is not Thai national but has an elite visa).

With that in mind, I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this interview process in Taipei. I’ve read some posts, but I still woud like to ask:

1. General overview of the interview process: What’s the vibe? Is it more formal or laid-back?

2. How was the overall interview? What questions did they ask for you?

3. TM30 question: Do they ask about TM30 registrations?

I’d really appreciate any guidance or reassurance you can offer. Thank you so much to this community for your help!

Which country do you suggest to apply for a dtv Visa? I've heard that Vietnam and Taiwan should be good?

Thank you all for you time in advance.

Question please, for all who applied through Taiwan:

How did you get the documents (work contract, ownership of company certificate, bank statements) authenticated by the embassy of there's no embassy of that country in Taiwan?
