Hello friends,

I applied for DTV as remote worker at LA consulate mid March and around 10 days later got a request for more documentation. It’s been more than 30+ days now after submission with no update. I emailed them already 3 weeks post re-submission and still no update on the application. Still says ‘pending document check.’ If I get accepted, great. But, if I get rejected, can I walk into a consulate in Taiwan and apply there as a US citizen? It’s unfortunate that the LA consulate has taken as long as it has because I’ve heard from others that the Thai consulates in other parts of the US are processing at a much faster rate. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi,

I am applying for a DTV and just got asked for more information. They are requesting both a company registration and DBD. I received the DBD form from the school, but they don't know what else would be required as the paperwork for the DBD form is their registration according to them

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 things, or what else they could mean as company registration? Thank you!

I am interested in applying for a retirement visa. Do I need to do that once I arrive in Thailand?

A friend said I have to open a bank account in Thailand. A few years ago, the requirement was $25,000 US for 6 months.

Can anyone advise ?

DTV holders: Did you have to pay the visa fee for you and your dependent, AND pay meet 2x the income requirement? Just want to verify/hear you alls experience.

Any DTV success at Nairobi or any other Embassy

What is the process of applying for dependants on the visa? like spouse or kid?

I read that it is possible to include them but i dont see how this is done. How to add them to an existing DTV visa?

Help please. I've applied for a Non-O visa while in Australia with the plan to convert to a retirement visa with the banked money method. Does my wife apply for the same type visa then apply as a dependent to me in the Thai retirement visa application process? Many thanks in advance for clarification.

Hi, is it possible to apply for the DTV while staying in Bali now that everything has gone online? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks :)

Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here is the list of documents I have prepared in advance:

✅ A recent passport photo (without a smile).

✅ A clear passport scan.

✅ Bank statment in English for the last six months.

✅ Approval for managing an account in Englis.

✅ A business license or notarized translation of the license, along with your business and personal details.

✅ A signature confirmation for managing the business (notarized).

✅ A copy of the main page of my site, with my website address included.

✅ Four financial invoices translated into English.

✅ A confirmed flight ticket.

**✅ hotel booking in vietnam

My Questions:

1. Should I submit everything online while I am in Vietnam, or do I need to visit the Thai Embassy in person?

2. Should I stay in Ho Chi Minh City and wait for the visa, or am I allowed to travel to other cities while it is being processed?

3. Will I receive the visa by email, or do I need to collect it physically?

4. Am I missing any documents, or is my preparation complete?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, how does it work regarding getting the DTV visa for your spouse? Do u apply together or does one apply first then later for the spouse?
