Hi! Does anyone know if we can change our DTV application address online after it’s been approved and issued? Or do I need to go in person to change my address?
thanks everyone for all the great comments.I was approved today !!! this is my application story, if it helps anyone.
1) applied monday 24th february digital nomad / remote worker
2) provided resent photo ( from my iPhone white back ground, certificate of employment signed by my manager ( that my company employs). i just got one of these certificates of the web and changed it to suit my needs. i also mentioned that my company does not have any business related activities in thailand and i stated i was aware that i am not permitted to do business with Thai nationals. i provided a link to my website too
3) bank statement from my business account for 6 months showing over the required amount ( this was not in my person name)
4) photo of inside passport
5) a resent master card statement showing my current address and resent transaction ( proof of being in Australia)
6) i stated i was travelling to thailand in march and gave a flight number ( no proof sent)
i applied to Sydney embassy and was approved today - no request for further information
my status changed to ‘pending approval ‘ 3 days ago ( i wasn’t advised but checked each day). i received approval today via email with a pdf ( yep don’t worry i know i need to print it)
Those on workcation do you need to file to prove you are still with the same remote company every year? What if i get laid off after a few months after getting DTV? Do I loose my DTV
I have a retirement visa with a one entry re exit, it says we must visit immigration before leaving the country on my passport.Any idea why apart from the obvious.ie visit immigration
This may seem like a stupid question, but what is the advantage of the DTV over simply playing the visa extension and border bounce game. It gets one to 180 days before needing to fly out and back again. Is this a new and expensive replacement for that process? I honestly don’t know because I’ve lived in Thailand for the past 5 years on a Non-Immigrant B visa.
Evidently Chaengwattana does NOT typically need a TM-27 (despite the comments below). The situation that makes this different is that I have not filed a 90 day report at my new home in Bangkok (because I've left the country multiple times and not stayed long enough for a 90 day report) so my last 90 day report from last year still reflects my old address. That's the cause of the situation and need to return next week.

Saw a related topic and thought I'd share a cautionary tale from today's visit to Chaengwattana. Error on my part, hopefully will get it worked out. Hadn't heard of this happening before, but I'm sure it has. Immigration officer said I was the second person today with a similar experience. Had been living in Hua Hin for a couple years then started to split my time with a place I rented in Bangkok.
Did the last two extensions of stay in Hua Hin (over 50, non-O). Last year, I left my place in Hua Hin and have been living exclusively in Bangkok. Did the Bangkok TM 30 once I moved for good, but did not file a change of address TM-27 (cue foreboding music).
Today I tried to get a new extension. Had every bit of paperwork I thought was necessary, but got caught out on not having done the address change and asked why I wasn't going to the Hua Hin office for my extension. Explained I hadn't been living there for almost a year and showed them my Bangkok rental contract and TM 30.
They asked for my last rental contract and TM 30 for my place in Hua Hin (which miraculously I had with me).
All ended up with them asking me to write a letter to the supervisor explaining my move, apologizing and asking for their consideration. Have to go back next week (with freshly updated bank letter, transaction record and bank book since it'll be beyond the 7 day period of the previous letter) to see if the extension was approved by the supervisor.
Sooo... Chaengwattana definitely appears to need the TM-27 filed if you move provinces.
I'm 2 year in on a non o retirement visa from the UK. I've been going home a few times a year with reentry permit. My visa is due for renewal in December my question is I want to go home for an extended stay possibly up to 6 months in May....is this possible or is there a time limit I can stay outside of Thailand before it affects my visa ? From what I've found out 45 days is the limit ....is this right ? What would be the best way round this ? I have the 800,000 Bhat in a Thai bank....Thanks
