I am just finalising health insurance for my stay and whilst I wait for this policy to be activated can I enter on the DTV with comprehensive travel insurance? Is it likely they will ask for proof of travel / health insurance upon entering?

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa for 6 months (visits and medical treatments) and I have a question about the required documents.

For this type of visa, one of the requirements is:

1. Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from a hospital/medical center.

Does anyone know if it is sufficient to provide a single appointment, or do I need to include details of multiple visits or a treatment plan (e.g., medical therapy cycles)?

Any advice or experiences with this type of visa would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Does anyone know what I need to submit as “Evidence of financial support” for an education visa?

For 4 year university degree

This is at Nairobi consulate. But any examples from other consulates would also help.

Bank statement?

Letters?

Thanks.

Has anyone applied for the freelancer visa with the 500,000 baht but no freelance income recently and got approved ?

I got my DTV yesterday - just have to have the documents ready. I did it all online. Employment letter stating you’re remote. Bank account proving you have enough funds. Company proof of existence.

Need advise, My husband and I hold Non-O and Non-B visas in Thailand, respectively, but our baby's Non-O visa isn't ready yet. We are leaving for vacation in a week, and her Australian passport allows her to enter Japan with a visa on arrival.

Can we travel to Japan and then return to Thailand, with her entering on a visa on arrival? She doesn't currently hold any visa, as she was born in Thailand.

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have had a request of documents for my DTV.

1) a bank statement with the 500k baht ( which i sent in my original documents)

But will send again

2) business license ( which I also sent my 2024 and 2025 in my original documents) but will send again

Not sure why I have to send them when I sent them already but whatever

3) upload proof or remote work

- this is the one I need the help with, I already sent a cover letter explaining what I do ( I’m a residential Cleaning company owner) I have employees and I have a manager that runs my business, anything I do for my business I do remotely such as social media marketing, payroll, speaking with clients ( when needed and my manager can’t) scheduling etc. I put this all in my cover letter to them along with links to all my social media pages etc , what can I send them as proof of remote work with my name on it like they are requesting

Please help

For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.

Hi, I have 4 year membership at a Muay Thai gym and have applied for the DTV visa with that. But I don’t think the gym is registered with sport authority of Thailand. Has anyone actually been rejected as I haven’t seen that yet?

I just want to clarify the insurance requirement for the LTR visa.

The Thai Consulate website states "... or social security benefits insuring treatment in Thailand."

After going back & forth with the LTR Visa Unit in Thailand for the past several days on exactly what this statement means, it seems that by "social security" they are referring to healthcare coverage an applicant is entitled to from their home-country government. This makes sense, since it is meant as an alternative to health insurance. In the U.S., social security means something different; it is not healthcare & therefore does not satisfy the requirement.

Fortunately for American military retirees, in an email I received this morning, 12-06-2024/2566, from the LTR Visa Unit, "Tricare or US military healthcare [i.e., FMP if one collects VA disability] meets the requirements for the LTR visa, so you do not have to apply for separate health insurance." For those 65 or older, you must opt in for Medicare Part B to retain Tricare coverage, which is then called Tricare for Life.

On a separate issue, once the BOI endorses your application, you are not required to annually or otherwise update Thai Immigration regarding your eligibility, meaning your visa is essentially maintenance free at least until the five-year renewal point. Plus, they said address reporting is only required annually, vice quarterly, & then only if you haven't left the country.

One other note: for Americans, they mostly rely on annual IRS 1040s for proof of income (total reported divided by number of names included on 1040), though this is not a hard-&-fast rule. Letters from appropriate authorities can be submitted as proof, as well as your written explanation for why you don't file taxes or why there might be a discrepancy or two between your stated income & what the 1040 shows. As an example, VA disability is not reported on 1040s.
