Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have had a request of documents for my DTV.

1) a bank statement with the 500k baht ( which i sent in my original documents)

But will send again

2) business license ( which I also sent my 2024 and 2025 in my original documents) but will send again

Not sure why I have to send them when I sent them already but whatever

3) upload proof or remote work

- this is the one I need the help with, I already sent a cover letter explaining what I do ( I’m a residential Cleaning company owner) I have employees and I have a manager that runs my business, anything I do for my business I do remotely such as social media marketing, payroll, speaking with clients ( when needed and my manager can’t) scheduling etc. I put this all in my cover letter to them along with links to all my social media pages etc , what can I send them as proof of remote work with my name on it like they are requesting

Please help

For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.

Hi, I have 4 year membership at a Muay Thai gym and have applied for the DTV visa with that. But I don’t think the gym is registered with sport authority of Thailand. Has anyone actually been rejected as I haven’t seen that yet?

I just want to clarify the insurance requirement for the LTR visa.

The Thai Consulate website states "... or social security benefits insuring treatment in Thailand."

After going back & forth with the LTR Visa Unit in Thailand for the past several days on exactly what this statement means, it seems that by "social security" they are referring to healthcare coverage an applicant is entitled to from their home-country government. This makes sense, since it is meant as an alternative to health insurance. In the U.S., social security means something different; it is not healthcare & therefore does not satisfy the requirement.

Fortunately for American military retirees, in an email I received this morning, 12-06-2024/2566, from the LTR Visa Unit, "Tricare or US military healthcare [i.e., FMP if one collects VA disability] meets the requirements for the LTR visa, so you do not have to apply for separate health insurance." For those 65 or older, you must opt in for Medicare Part B to retain Tricare coverage, which is then called Tricare for Life.

On a separate issue, once the BOI endorses your application, you are not required to annually or otherwise update Thai Immigration regarding your eligibility, meaning your visa is essentially maintenance free at least until the five-year renewal point. Plus, they said address reporting is only required annually, vice quarterly, & then only if you haven't left the country.

One other note: for Americans, they mostly rely on annual IRS 1040s for proof of income (total reported divided by number of names included on 1040), though this is not a hard-&-fast rule. Letters from appropriate authorities can be submitted as proof, as well as your written explanation for why you don't file taxes or why there might be a discrepancy or two between your stated income & what the 1040 shows. As an example, VA disability is not reported on 1040s.

Hi, I plan to apply for the DTV visa based on being a remote worker. Does anyone have an example of the letter from their employer to say they are approved to work remotely.

TIA

Our son and his wife are visiting Thailand soon. They will come directly to our house. Based on what I read here we will have to report to the immigration office on arrival. Is that correct?

Self employed and applying in Ho Chi Minh

I have bank statements, client contracts, paid invoices, etc.

Do i need to submit my business registration and/or tax ID?

And is there any other documentation that can give me an advantage for quick approval?

If both are needed, i can submit, but i need to make sure I have every single doc to make this smooth as possible as most of my life is currently in Thailand since I've been living here a few months hahah

Hi, I’ve just read a post on here that states that you need 400k in Thai bank “on the day of application”, for a marriage visa.

I always thought it had to be in the bank for 2 months before you could apply? Or is this rule just for extensions?

Do you need to ask your agent to do TM30 if you were there for a while already but you left Thailand and come back again recently?
