I have applied for my DTV Visa through the Thai Embassy in Brussels. It's been 16 days now and still no reply.

Seeing other posts on here, most applications get a response after one week or less.

My flight is booked for 14th of October. Should I contact the embassy directly to inquire about this? I'm slightly worried they might need additional documents and that will take this long again to process.

Just got DTV approved!

USA-based. Washington DC embassy. Single member LLC. Contract video editor.

Applied: August 15

Documentation requested: September 4

I forgot to include a letter stating my name, job description, digital nomad/remote, length of employment. I will attach pic of the template I used. I also included how I do my work remotely.

Approved: September 5

Funds:

- The full $16k wasn’t in my bank account until the beginning of August so I didn’t have an official bank statement showing the balance. I went to my bank and got a Letter of Standing showing my balance. I also supplied screenshots of the last month of my bank account (nothing redacted).

- I sent copies of a couple invoices, the invoice receipt after being paid, screenshots of my business bank account showing the payment being deposited (highlighted), as well as, highlighted deposits from my personal banking showing the transfer of payment from my business account to my personal.

Proof of Work:

Sent in my resume, screenshots of emails from clients stating the nature of my work (for clients I didn’t have contracts with), contracts from other clients, and screenshots of my portfolio:

Additional documents:

- I started my own business in April so I provided screenshots of an email between me and a client where I stated I was switching from my personal email to my work email.

- Certification of Formation

- Official document that contained my EIN

Further requested documentation:

- In the letter I stated my name, my job title, the scope of work I do, how I perform my work digitally, as well as stating that I was a business owner and referred them to the page in my original document submission that showed proof of ownership of my company.

I’m attaching the template I used for the letter of proof of work. I did not use the bottom part stating my current clients though.

I’m applying for my husband and daughter’s dependent visa tomorrow. Will let you all know how that goes!

Thanks to everyone here who answered all my questions in the process! Happy to answer any questions if I left anything out! 🙂

Good afternoon all, having been coming to Thailand for over 6 years I am looking to make it more permanent... And after looking at the options I am thinking the retirement visa would be best.

I have a Thai bank account already and a place in rent for a year (if a TM30) was needed).

But I have had constant mixed messages about some things ...

From various comments in the group..would I be correct in thinking

1. I would be better applying from my home in the UK? Vs coming to Thailand and using an agent.

2. leave the funds (800k) in my UK bank account / not my BKK account?

If I do it online in the UK it only shows a single entry (not multiple entry) is this because it's only a 90 days non O issued to start and I have to get something changed when in Thailand?.

Sorry if this question has been asked 100 times already...

Any helpful tips is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

Quick question about getting a tourist visa for Thailand! I’ll be applying for one in Penang, it will be my first time getting a tourist visa, however I have been in Thailand for a few months already just using my passport. I’ve looked up all the requirements for that visa, and was wondering if anyone knows if you need to have the bank statement on your fist application or not? If so, how far back does it need to go? Or does it just need to show the current balance?! Also, if you get an invitation letter instead of accommodation booking, what all does that letter need to say! Thanks!!
