Hi everyone,

I’m currently in Kathmandu, Nepal, holding a Chinese passport, and planning to apply for the DTV visa here.

Has anyone here applied for a DTV visa in Nepal before?

From what I read on the Kathmandu Thai Embassy website, it seems to be the same process as in other countries (like Vietnam): using the online e-visa platform with the same set of documents.

However, I’m a bit concerned that there might be some additional requirements or local differences I’m not aware of. Could anyone kindly share your experience? Should I just follow the steps on the online e-visa platform, or is there anything else I should prepare in advance?

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hi all,

I've just submitted my e-Visa application for a non-immigrant O (retirement) visa to the Thai Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand. They've come back to me asking for proof of

"Health insurance policy with minimum coverage of 40,000 THB/year for outpatients and 400,000 THB/year for inpatients, and covering the entire duration of the stay in Thailand."

I thought this only applied to the O-A visa?

On their website it lists under "Retirement / Pension Earners REQUIRED DOCUMENTS"

Health insurance policy with minimum coverage of 40,000 THB/year for outpatients and 400,000 THB/year for inpatients, and covering the entire duration of the applicant's stay in Thailand. For more information on health insurance for non-immigrant type "O-A" and "O" visas, please visit [[members only])

If you go to the longstay.tgia.org page it only discusses health insurance for the O-X, O-A and STV visas.

Are they wrong? Am I wrong?

Hi 🙏. Has anyone in here any experience applying for the DTV with the Thai Embassy in Rome, Italy. Can we connect, in case?

Hay guys,

I would like to know that even though I’m currently landed in Hanoi but I would like to apply DTV visa in Ho chi Min Thai embassy, is that eligible to apply ?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on building my 500,000 baht balance on my account. I expect to have it before my application, but the 500,000 balance will only be there for a few weeks, probably before my application. I’ll be applying at the Vienna embassy. Do you have any experience with this?

I can provide six months of statements, and they’ll see my monthly income from my employer. It’ll be the same company that will provide a letter for “remote work approval” and a contract as well.

So, what do you think? Is it more important to have a 500,000 baht balance for three months straight, or is it okay to have an end balance of 500,000 baht gained over six months?

Another thing is, I have two accounts in the same bank. One is my personal account, and the other is my business account. I always have money in my business account and then move about 70% of that paycheck to my personal account. I do this because I pay my insurance and taxes from my business account and other expenses from my personal account.

When I show my statements, there will be a difference in the numbers on those accounts. Should I show them with some graphic that highlights those moments on my accounts or add some text in the PDF to explain everything?

Lastly, should I provide every bank statement in English? Has anyone used Google Image Translation for this?

Thank you for your responses.

Hello, if I have a non-O annual visa in an old passport and made a new passport, I bring both passports to the entry and then have to go to immigration and transfer the annual visa to the new passport, or does that also make the Thai embassy in Berlin ?

Hallo wenn ich ein Non -O Jahresvisum in einem alten Pass habe und einen neuem Pass gemacht habe, bringe ich nei der Einreise beide Pässe mit und muss danach auf die Immigration und die übertragen das Jahresvisum in den neuen Pass, oder macht das die auch die thailändische Botschaft in Berlin?

I’ve done some looking online and looking for advice.

Can Tanzanian people apply for an evisa online or does it have to be in person at Thai embassy at Nairobi? Cheers

Soft power for medical treatment approved. Applied 5th of august, was asked for more documentation yesterday (employment letter and new bank statements) and today it was approved. 🥳

To the Germans who applied for DTV in Germany:

I want to apply for the DTV soft power but I am confused as to where to apply. Did you apply at www.thaievisa.go.th/ or at the Thai Embassy in Germany websites? This might be a stupid question but as it says you have to apply in the countrie's Thai embassy where you are at I am confused and wanted to check with the ones who already did apply and got approved. Thanks in advance :)
