Has anyone applied as a sole proprietor? I have my own company but I’m not incorporated. I’m curious to know if someone got approved and what the proof of business letter looked like.

Hi, I'm planning applying for a DTV from KL. So I'll spend a couple of weeks in a hotel there. Does anyone know if an invoice/receipt from the hotel is sufficient evidence of being out of the country? If not, what evidenec would work/

Thanks in advance.

Up date on my Ethiopian applicant. ( were a muay thai gym)

Phnom Phen indicating they will accept him.

DTV application in Hanoi approved! 🎉

I am the one who got requested to provide all the Thai visas I have received until present as additional document. If anyone is in a similar situation and was also asked to show them previous visas, it seems that there is nothing to worry about!

Anyway, If anyone is interested, I will share the details of my application process as a digital nomad.

5.11 (TUESDAY) – application submitted

documents I uploaded:

- confirmation of my location - Vietnamese visa stamp on my passport

- a bank certificate confirming that I have 500k bht in my account (original and English translation), no bank statements!

- in one pdf file: employment contract (original, translation), permission letter signed by the company owner, portfolio (although the website says they only require one of these, I preferred to play it safe)

For the translations I just used google translate - I simply uploaded a jpg file (screenshot) there, translator gave me back translated document, also in jpg format

6.11 (WEDNESDAY) - request for additional document: hotel booking in Vietnam

7.11 (THURSDAY) - request for additional document: all thai visa I received until present

TODAY 11/11 - visa approved.

2 passport from same country, 1 of them is nearly expired but have ED visa on it.

Should i do re entry to save the visa and apply on the new passport?

Or what..?

Exited BKK to Singapore with new automated machines. This saves me a stamp. And I fly in and out Thailand 2 times a month so that’s 48 stamps per year. Now that will be halved so slowing down a passport replacement. I wonder if they will have these on entry?

Hi everyone! I submitted online application (Senegalese passport, French resident so Paris consulate comes into play) on 27th of October and still haven't heard back - neither rejection or approval. I'm starting to be getting worried and wonder what I can do as the trip is planned to start 2.12... Calling the consulate didn't help at all.

Hi guys,

Is it mandatory to show the monthly income, or is it enough to just show the 500k as a bank statement?

i would apply in vietnam embassy!!!

I work for the family company, I don't have a salary o income from this job now, I have other income from other business!!

Hi how does this rental agreement work if we are wishing to apply from outside Thailand for a DTV? I dont have a rental agreement because i need a DTV before i can find a house and rent for 6 months

Some help clarifying this please 🙏

Want to prepare my bank statements to be accepted with a broad range of Thai embassies/consulates (Argentina, Singapure, and whatever you recommend!) and not lose a bunch of interest. Having 15K sit for 6 months could earn me almost 240 USD.

What do you recommend?

I heard Wise is not accepted by some consulates because they are not a bank and Trade Republic statements are in German.

Please vote and comment: Have any of you used foreign language statements without a costly translation?
