DTV Visa Madrid consulate on Mexican passport as a remote worker.

Applied on August 4, three days later I got an email from the consulate asking me for a letter in which I explained how intended to earn money while I’m in Thailand, they also asked for a document called “Vida laboral” (social security enrolment confirmation and history of contributions).

I replied immediately and they got back to me a couple of hours after that asking me for tickets from Europe to Thailand. The consulate approved my visa in Friday evening, took 5 working days and entered chiang mai today, no questions asked at immigration.

Hey lovely community members 👋

I run an online business and my account balance meets the DTV requirement - however, I can't leave Thailand for longer than 4 or 5 days.

Quick question: Is it possible to enter a country around Thailand to apply for DTV visa, and leave after a few days - and then once the DTV visa processing is done, come back to that country and go back into Thailand on DTV visa? So 2 quick visits in total.

Thanks in advance for all your feedback folks!

Hi All,

the only remaining thing for me is uploading the 3 statements as proof of funds. Questions:

1) shall I merge 3 bank statements in 1 PDF? (will it exceed the upload limit?)

2)Should I rather send only the first page of each (name/address/total in&out for the month)? But then no transaction is shown...

3)I transferred the funds from an instant access savings account to my current account more than a month ago (also another 500k to my spouse who will apply later once I'm approved). So perhaps, on top of the 3 last statements should I upload a couple of statements from the savings account too? the 500£ had been in there since Oct 2024.

Would all fit in? or too heavy?

Anyone that applied recently from Hanoi?

I've submitted my application by the 31th of July and have'nt got any response till the date which is more than 10 days already, does it make sense?

***update

Got approved today, thank you 😅

Is it easier to be granted the Muay thai or Cooking DTV? Which one is more expensive?

I was planning on getting the Muay Thai DTV, but the cost would be 49k bahts (Muay thai class) + 350$ (application fee) which I find expensive

Hi, has anyone on a DTV soft power visa been asked to show proof of ongoing classes when reentering after the 6 month period? And how did you handle the situation if yes. Thanks!

Hi, I'm applying for Non-O Visa and would like to know how to fill out the online application properly ! My goal is to apply for Non OX Visa ; yet me without a bank account in Thailand, the Thai embassy in France suggests me to enter with Non-O, get a rental, open a bank account, and then switch to Non-OX in Thailand.

I intend to stay in Thailand for 90 days to make sure I can receive Non-OX. Before finding a rental, I plan to stay at a hotel for the first 7 days of my stay........

Is it alright if I only answer 7 days for the hotel accommodation in my Non-O application, without answering where to stay for the rest of 83 days ?? 🤔

if not, what is your advice ?? 🤔

Again, I will find a rental in Thailand as soon as I arrive ; but at this moment I just have no idea where it will be........Million thanks ! 🙏🙏

Another couple questions for those who have recently been granted an O-A visa via Los Angeles Consulate.

Q1. Did you have an outbound flight booked from Thailand when you submitted your application? (I only have inbound booked as I hope to stay one year).

Q2. How long did you have Thai accommodations booked for your application? ( I want to stay in hotel for 10 days then move into a condo rental. I only have the 10 days booked).

Q3, any and all input on O-A application and subsequent extension appreciated!

Kop khun krup!

Entered BKK today for the first time since being approved for DTV, had a paper printout of the DTV which I handed over with my passport and boarding card, stamped in for 180 days although I’m only here for two weeks on this occasion. Didn’t get asked about income, balance or that TDAC thing. Was though immigration in under a minute.

I plan to use the DTV as an actual digital nomad though, entering and leaving Thailand several times a year. I don’t plan to “live” here as it were - I would be surprised if any single stay goes over 30 days but it’s nice to have the reassurance they won’t question why I’ve entered and left 10-12 times a year. I’m a digital nomad so that’s how I live 😂 🇹🇭

Hi all,

I came back to my condo in Bangkok in June (I’ve been renting it for the year), but I just realized I forgot to have the owners file a TM30 for my return. They’ve submitted my previous TM30s, but I think it’s well past the window for them to file it now.

We’re moving out on September 1st, and I was wondering if staying at a hotel for a night to get a fresh TM30 for my next 90-day report would work or if that’s not an option.

I’ve already done two 90-day reports at this address, the first in person and the second online. Since I left and re-entered Thailand, do I need to go in person again for the next one, or can I still do it online?

Thank you for the help.
