Aim on applying for DTV (under Soft Powers option) in the near future, so just pulling together what I will need. Am aware that the official web-site list is a starting point but that individual embassies often have specific and/or additional requirements. So would really appreciate any insights, tips, experiences etc of applying through Jakarta e.g. is it evisa only or can still do personal visit, what are their requirements on bank balance and statements etc.

Thanks, in advance ...

So I'm preparing the application beforehand. So when I'm entering Phnom Penh I can just upload the entry stamp as an pdf. Pay the fee. As suggested by someone in this group. But from here what do I put? My flight to bangkok past year, Bangkok <>Phnom penh?

Anyone knows?

I’m currently in Vientiane to get my Non B visa,

Do you apply online this year for the visa or how does it work ?

Previously I had to book an appointment online and submit the documents in person

How is it done this year ?

Thank you

Help please. I've applied for a Non-O visa while in Australia with the plan to convert to a retirement visa with the banked money method. Does my wife apply for the same type visa then apply as a dependent to me in the Thai retirement visa application process? Many thanks in advance for clarification.

Hello everyone,

I am going to do a 6-month internship in Thailand. I still haven't applied for the ED non-immigration visa because I am missing some documents and I plan to leave at the end of March. Will I receive my visa on time by then? And I know that visas are valid for 3 months, so when I come to Thailand, should I go to the immigration office or should I wait until my visa expires to go there?

Thank you for your feedback and advices

Hello, I am applying as Social Media Manager under workcation. I'm planning to apply from Hanoi and i'm from Myanmar. I'm preparing all of the documents as below. Please let me know if I miss out anything.

🟢 Professional Work Portfolio

🟢 Clarification Letter from my company which proved I can work remote

🟢 Employee Contract

🟢 Payslip from HR (6 months)

🟢 Bank Statement and Certificate

Thank you in advance.

My workation DTV Visa application has been approved by the Ho Chi Minh embassy in Vietnam.

I submitted my application via the evisa system, and it took 5 days to receive the application approval email. No extra documents requested.

I read a lot of useful information in this group, so I am sharing my experience to help others. Here are the documents I included:

## Proof of current location:

1. Vietnam passport stamp

2. Hotel booking confirmation

3. Selfie outside hotel in Vietnam

4. Flight to Thailand

## Proof of employment:

1. Cover letter describing my business and how it functions entirely remotely.

2. Business registration document

3. Certificate of Incorporation

4. Signed document appointing myself as director

5. Screenshots of stripe payouts and gross volume.

6. Screenshots of the business website, and stripe analytics page.

## Personal documents:

1. Passport bio data page

2. Two bank account statements, each with 500k+. Showing 6 months of data.

Other Points:

* The maximum file size for the PDF documents is 3MB. You can also only upload one document for each section. I used adobe acrobat to compile the files, you can select "reduce file size" at export to keep it well below 3MB.

* Double check all of your details are entered correctly. I have seen other applications get rejected for not adding their middle name for example. Rejection = pay the application fee again.

* Recently, I noticed many posts of embassies requesting more documents. One is 6 months of bank statements, and the other is a booked flight to Thailand. Make sure to include these to avoid the extra trouble.

Feel free to comment any questions and I'll do my best to help.

I’m currently on a work visa here in Thailand that ends in March

Im looking to apply for a soft DTV.

Am I able to apply for the visa and then leave the country?

I have the funds in the bank but I’m wondering, What steps I would need to take so my application is successful, will I have an issue swapping from a work visa onto a DTV

**Applied for DTV - Workcation in Pakistan – Pending Documents Check

**

I applied for the DTV in Pakistan on 7th January. Here's the timeline of events:

1. 8th January: I received a request to submit my CNIC, hotel booking, and flight ticket. I promptly provided all the required documents.

2. 10th January: I was asked to submit a clear passport picture, a return ticket (yes, they requested a return ticket), and my hotel booking again. I explained that I don’t have a hotel booking because I’ve rented a property in Krabi with a lease valid until the end of June 2025.

My flights are landing and departing from Bangkok, which might have caused some confusion. If needed, I also have a flight ticket from Bangkok to Krabi that I can provide.

Since 10th January, my application status has remained on "Pending Documents Check."

I finally managed to reach the Thai Embassy after numerous attempts. I explained my situation and emphasized that my flight date is approaching. Unfortunately, the response was that the embassy has no control over the process and that I will receive an update once the headquarters (Bangkok Consular Department) approves my application. I requested if they could follow up with the headquarters, but the call was abruptly disconnected.

For context:

* When I initially applied for the DTV, the embassy staff suggested applying for a TR visa instead, as it reportedly has a higher chance of approval. However, as a Pakistani passport holder, a TR visa would allow only a 60-day stay with no extension under normal circumstances. Additionally, I wouldn’t be able to apply for a DTV from another country due to passport restrictions.

At this point, all I can do is wait and hope for the best.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning on going to da nang to apply for DTV. I plan to go 26th January. With the festival/public holiday this week I assume my application will take more than a week?
