Just flew into Chiang Mai from Hanoi. 1st time using DTV for entry.

Lady at immigration looked like I had 3 heads. I said this is 180 days each entry and she shrugged her shoulders.

Stamped in for correct amount of days it appears.

Cannot believe how quick Chiang Mai handles incoming flights. In and out in 5 minutes.

Hope everyone enjoys this! See you on the road somewhere.

Paying it forward (thanks all):

Approved from the Thai Embassy Canberra, Australia - Workation category.

Documents submitted:

- Cover letter explaining business and nature of my work.

- Screenshot of Google Search results of my business

- Screenshot of my work portfolio

- Most recent invoice

- Profit and Loss statement

- Balance sheet

- Australian Business Registration certificate

Financials

- Cover letter explaining net worth

- Bank statements verifying letter

My thoughts:

- Make it easy; embassy staff don't wanna decode your unexplainable waffle of documents. Number the subsequent pages in your cover letter and explain their reasoning/purpose.

- The nature of the visa is discretionary, so build an image of your entite situation as if you're building a legal case (as you are, in many regards)

- Meaningful proof is the most important. You can't fake a strong online presence or a long-lasting business registration.

- Use an online tool to condense and compile your PDFs

Anyone applied from Australia?

How did you find the process?

Do DTV visa holders need to get re entry permits before they leave the country every time, just like if you’re on an ED visa?

Hi everyone, how to apply DTV visa from Singapore.Anyone got visa from SG ?

What's involved in a NZ citizen getting a visa to retire in Thailand? What sort of taxation does one face on a pension living there?

When you apply for one year retirement visa have you got to have 800,000 in Thai bank or in your own country bank ???

What is the "count-back" date for the 2-month bank balance requirement for a visa extension? Is it two months before the current visa's expiration date, or 2 months from the application date of the extension? Thanks.

Hi all! Last week I extended my 60 day tourist visa for another 30 days. When this expires, can I do a border run to Laos and re-enter on another 60 day tourist visa? Also, I’ve already done 2 land border runs to Laos this year. Will I have to fly out of the country now? TIA!

Can anyone help please 🙏 I was told yesterday about a visa that allows you to look for work ,but hadn't heard of it before ,does anyone know any details x
