Question! If I book a 1 month unlimited class, do you think I can be granted a DTV Visa? Is it risky?

So you already have a bank account on other visa lets say ED and you intend to apply for DTV will bank find out and close yours like kasikorn SCB. i don’t care about bkk bank. Still wondering should i continue with ED or DTV since thai bank is very important for me

Seen the top post dies say "DTV visa, I would like some key inf on the DTV visa....

If one has zero interest in opening a Thai bank account, or Thai driver's license, then isn't the DTV visa most attractive.

Good for 5 year's

Have to exit, on or before the 180th day (that's a plus, for those of us liking to travel)

DIY can be done from 10k baht to 16k baht (depending on where ones applying from, eg. home country or some SE Asia country outside of Thailand)

Given the few line items above, what is the drawback on the DTV visa??

Note.

I'm not interested in hearing from agent's, as they just want the big coin, to process some retirement, or educational or something else ... that they can charge a ton of coin for.

Only interested in hearing from those that applied, received and currently using the DTV visa.

Thanks you

Hi everyone!

Maybe some of you had the same experience:

1. I have 2 passports. Number one is going to expire in 4,5 years. Number two is for 10 years and absolutely new without any visas and stamps.

Can I use the new one, but provide stamp that I'm in Vietnam from the old one?

2. I had student visa which wasn't closed properly. It just expired and I did border run, so no re entries. Would it be a problem?

- Free visa ending on 19th of September

- 500k+ in my Kasikorn bank account deposited in the next few days (no 3 month record)

- been freelancing here and there and have some incomes from payment gateways from my country and also international Stripe & Whop

- had ED visa before and multiple tourist visas

- currently in Bangkok

- short personal letter

- no current work or income

What’s my best option? And which consulate?

1. Applying by myself to a Workation freelance DTV right now with what i have

2. Applying by myself with a muay thai gym package and invitation letter

3. Waiting 3 months with the money in the bank and then applying

4. Using an agency to help me apply to either Workation or Soft power

5. Applying for a 1 year work permit visa instead of DTV

Thank you for your help and comments.

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a DTV visa in Vientiane (Laos). After my status changed to “Pending Approval,” I received an email with an interview appointment asking me to bring original documents and noting they may review my online banking.

Is this normal in Vientiane? How did it go for you in practice?

* Did PDF bank statements (3–6 months) + a current balance confirmation suffice, or did they actually ask you to log into your banking app?

* If you had to log in, was showing the balance and a few recent incoming payments enough—without scrolling through the full history?

* Anything else they asked about?

Context: I’m self-employed (sole proprietor), working 100% remotely (SEO, Google Ads, analytics, AI) for clients in EU. I’ve prepared:

• a self-employment statement + client confirmation letters

• CEIDG extract

• bank statements (several months) + invoices matching inflows

• payment confirmation and all originals

Thanks in advance for sharing experiences (no sensitive info needed).

VISA ADVICE

Hi everyone,

Knowing your expertise, I’d really appreciate your advice on my situation, best practices, and any feedback you can share.

I want to apply for a DTV Workation Visa.

I’m Spanish and I own a US LLC (Solo owner) where I build sales systems for coaching/courses businesses on social media , operrating only on the Spain market.

Here’s my financial setup:

* I don’t pay myself a salary. No payslips.

* I mainly use the LLC account for bigger expenses (rent, big bills, etc.) and only transfer small amounts occasionally to my personal account for daily expenses.

* Currently, the LLC account has around €4.5k liquid cash available And regular transfers and payments from clients.

* In my personal account, I just added THB 560,000 as proof of funds, i have regular daily expenses there that i can show in my statement for 6 months.

* The LLC receives €4–7k monthly, all of which I can prove with invoices issued to clients.

* At the end of each month, the LLC balance is usually around €1–2k because I reinvest most of the income.

* I am the sole owner of the US LLC, but I’m Spanish.

👉 Do you have any recommendations to increase the chances of approval? For the financial side i plan to show my personal account with the ending balance of 560k THB + My Biz account with regular transactions and income + Client bills proof.

👉 For those who submit client contracts, do you also translate them? If so, how?

👉 I won’t apply in Spain as have slow bureaucracy, but in Asia (Jakarta / Manila / …).

Thanks in advance for any input 🙏

Hello everyone, couple months ago I got my visa in Jakarta. Got it in around 7 working days, I recently saw you need to do location reports every 3 months.

My question is:

Do I need to report every 3 months after I got my visa or the 3 months start counting after the last time you left the country? I got the visa June 26th but left the country July 27th. TM30 report must be done in September or October? Thanks in advance

I'm arriving in October, leaving in December, from the UK.. A total of 58 days, visiting my wife and daughter. I've previously got the 90 visas as I've stayed longer. (My last 3 passport entries.)

Going onto the evisa website the options are for 60+ days. Im visiting immigration after I arrive to get my house book sorted, to open a bank account.

Am I ok to arrive on the 60 day visa exemption? Technically I'm not a tourist, but visiting family.

I want to ask about your experience reporting 90 days in Thailand via traditional post:

1) How to be sure they actually received my letter and approved report? What type of shipment I should choose?

2) When should I send the letter, which immigration office? Relevant to city? I'm in Bkk.
