Dtv experience Nepal

Hello everyone. Thanks for being super helpful in my DTV journey - so I wanted to share mine for others

I did my dtv in Nepal because I have always wanted to visit this country.. Not many experiences here so far so that part was a bit less clear but the process itself was smooth other than my natural tendency for anxiety 🙂

I did soft power using Discover Thai nature which is a program I’m really interested in and they have been incredibly helpful.

Nepali embassy was easy to reach via phone and supportive in my preparation . I have a US passport and I could apply in Nepal, but I think not every country is allowed so I recommend you check by calling

The biggest complication compared to other countries was that Nepal embassy asks plane tickets into and out of the country as well as accommodation booking. I attached these to my documents  without being asked for extra documents because I already knew from calling. The other complication is that they do not accept online payment - so you must get a manager’s cheque at IME bank using the QR code you get when you finish your application. It costs ₹50,000 to apply here. Then you must take the cheque to the embassy for application to be complete.

I applied on November 17 Monday. November 21st, Friday I got an email asking me to come in for an interview on November 24, Monday.

Interview was mostly about finances, but I was happy to share my intentions, short-term and long-term in Thailand. I was pretty nervous- but that’s my anxious nature 🙂 overall staff in Nepali embassy both Thai and Nepali were lovely.

I got my approval in less than two hours.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and live in Thailand. Good luck to everyone aiming for the same.

Question for tdac, is outbound flight necessary for dtv Visa holder?

Thanks for your help!

How difficult is it to get a dtv and does the bank balance have to stay above the 500,000tbh to keep the visa valid?

It has been around 10 days I've applied for DTV (workation), still the status is pending documents check. Could anyone tell what is the approx time of the initial status change in Thai embassy, Jakarta.

How much income are people showing as freelancers or digital nomads in order to get approved? I can show 60k/month.

hello! is monthly dividend from cd account can me presented as income?

Hello, how long is the seasoning for the 400,000 baht to renew non imm o visa (thai wife)..some places i am reading 2 months, others 3 months.

So, I'm not sure if this is general knowledge, as I've been told before.

I opened a Bangkok Bank account ten days ago. I then used Wise to transfer ten thousand pounds (400k baht). I also transferred some extra, realizing how quickly Wise worked and that you can be like a Thai and use the QR code with it to pay private accounts. The bank just rang me this afternoon to tell me that the 400k cannot be touched.

It shows I have the money in the bank, but my available balance is only twenty-six thousand. She says it is trapped for 6 months. Luckily, I had put it in there, and I was going to forget about it.

So, each year I have the four hundred k required, but I'm letting people know in case your situation is different.

Hi, I have a question regarding the proof of 500,000 THB.

I have read several times that the funds must be held in a private account.

I also saw information stating that if the account is officially a personal/private account in the applicant’s name, it is acceptable for the DTV Visa, even if customer payments are received on that account.

Is this correct?

My husband has two sole proprietorships, and the income from one of them is paid into his personal account. Could this be a problem?

As an alternative, would bank statements from Trade Republic also be accepted?

Thank you in advance for your feedback. :)

Hi guys, in terms of the 500k and proof of funds.

Is it safe to give them a statement complete with the Account number, IBAN number etc.

Especially in light of all the frauds and scams going around these days.

Also, do they require a PDF document or will a scanned photo of a paper statement do them?

Thanks
