Hello everyone,

I am coming to thailand on december 1st on a dtv visa, however the application is asking for a address and I haven't got my house yet because the agents I am speaking to are saying it is too early to reserve a house.

If I take an address in Bangkok (I am staying for one night before completing my travel to Hua Hin) can I just use that address for the visa application even if I will be there only one night?

Thanks in advance for the help!

To everyone considering applying for the DTV.

Please set aside a good chunk of time (hours if necessary) just for filling out the application online (apart from document / cover letter prep).

If you're even 10% unsure on any part, make sure to reach out for help or consult the guide/manual material provided.

10,000 baht is a lot of money to lose for silly mistakes, such as inputting a middle name when your middle name isn't even on your passport.

Hello, today I’m applying for DTV. I’m in Bali now and will apply online via the Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

For intended stay in Thailand, is it okay if I choose 6 months?

Also, do I really need to book long term accomodation? Is a 1 week hotel booking enough? I’ll move to another place later anyway.

Do I also need a return ticket?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone done the DTV visa from Belgium as a freelancer? What additional documents could they ask for. I have gotten all the basic ones required. I have over 500,000 THB but some of it was in stocks so I’ve put them on my savings now. Should that make a problem with the 3 months thing? Also I’m a recent freelancer so don’t have any tax proof yet.

Hello Folks,

I just received a visa rejection email from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka. I applied under the Workcation Visa category on June 22, and today, instead of moving forward from “Pending Document Check,” it went straight to Visa Rejected.

Not sure what I might have missed! But I can ensure you that all documents and the input on e visa portarl was correct and legit.

Here’s what I submitted:

✅ Bank statements and solvency certificate (with more than the required amount, over 6 months) with regular tranjactions.

✅ Employment confirmation letter and an LLC company report from my employer (I work with them via Upwork). Been working for that company for the last 3 years.

✅ Upwork income certificate for the last 12 months

✅ Freelancer ID issued by the Bangladesh government

✅ All other regular documents (residency proof, air ticket, hotel booking, etc.)

Do you think I should apply again? If yes, when would be the right time?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Happy traveling, everyone!

Thank you.

Applied for DTV (Remote Worker) through the Thai Embassy in Singapore in early July.

Day 1 - Submitted application

Day 3 - Embassy asked for more documents including:

- Employer's updated ACRA within the last 3 months (previous version was an old ACRA document)

- Employer's letter to be addressed to Thai Embassy, Singapore specifically stating that I was allowed to work in Thailand. (previous letter submitted was addressed to "to whom it may concern", and "allowed to work anywhere in the world"

- Detailed bank statements (previously I submitted only the first page)

- Screenshot of my latest bank balance AFTER the 3 months of bank statements

- Proof of accomodation (they mentioned specifically AirBnB not allowed)

Day 6 - I only noticed the request on Day 5 and submitted everything they requested for on Day 6

Day 14 - Approved

Data Points:

- I had between SGD20k to SGD30k in the bank for the entire period of 3 months

- I still kept the minimum balance in there after submiting documents, hence my screenshot satisfied that additional criteria

- My salary is about SGD10,000, and I have been with the company for 3 years

Some thoughts: SG Thai Embassy is definitely pretty strict. I feel like they are trying to poke and find holes in what I thought was an honest and straightforward application. But otherwise, happy to have this approved.

I just had my DTV (workcation) approved from Canberra, Australian Embassy.

Applied July 1st, asked for more documentation (proof of being able to work overseas) on the 4th and approval came through last night (30th of July).

A few things I've seen people ask about:

I had a sponsorship letter from my parents

I am a freelancer and wrote a letter on behalf of myself with my own company letterhead.

There was some good advice in this FB page, so thank you!

Hi have just booked my flight to Thailand arriving 19th October, when would be best time for me to apply for non o visa from London, have most paperwork ready thanks

Im posting as anonymous cause i tried to apply to the DTV with an agent and they were a disaster (compass) they ghosted me asked me the same docs over and over again, their app didnt work and made me waste a lot of time and somehow ended more stressed about it. I did it my own as took me literally 5 mins is pretty easy as long as you have compiled the docs in low resolution to be uploaded. My visa was approved and will be back in Thailand tomorrow :) thanks everyone for the tips

Hi, has anyone had experience applying as dependant of dtv visa holder in Laos, Vientiane? How long is the waiting time? And does the dependant have to come for the interview or will the dependant just recieve the email with approved visa? Thank you in advance 🙂
