Hello, I have a question about DTV Soft Power. As a musician who has already done it for participation in a festival or concert, I can't find any information on this subject. Thank you very much.

[My Experience Getting the DTV in Paris – April 15 to May 7, 2025]

Hi everyone!

I’d like to share my full experience applying for and receiving the Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) via the Royal Thai Embassy in Paris. I hope this helps those of you who are preparing your applications. Please read my posts carefully before asking the questions.

1. Application Submission:

I submitted my application online on April 15, 2025, via the official Thai e-visa portal. Paris is the only processing option, since I’m currently based in France. I am holding an Asian passport (so I am a foreigner). I am using Workstation type.

2. Initial Review & Document Upload:

Shortly after submitting, I received confirmation that my application was under review. A few days later, I was contacted by the embassy via email and asked to submit an additional document. I uploaded the revised document promptly via the same portal. So, to sum up, I uploaded what the embassy is asking for:

* Document indicating current location (Residence permit)

* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (bank statements), using only 1 account

* Latest payslip

* Employment certificate

* My activities explanation

3. Processing Time:

From submission to final approval, the whole process took 22 days.

* Application submitted: April 15

* Additional document requested & submitted: April 22

* Status changed to “Pending Approval”: May 5

* Visa approved and issued: May 7

I’m really excited to have received my visa and to begin this next chapter in Thailand.

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying!

Hello 👋

I searched on my problem but found nothing.

I'm going to try DTV as a self employed person. I am a mental health therapist and my clients are mainly in France. But during my trip here (3 months), I had several requests for consultations from French and other nationalities, expatriates and travelers. So my question is: does the DTV allow me to work with clients of any nationality except Thai? Or am I not allowed to work with anyone within Thailand?

Thanks for your answers 😊

Hi, anyone knows if working online in Thailand triggers personal income tax? Anyone has any experience or knowledge about it?

Can foreigners live in Thailand for long term?

What job to do please?

Hey all. I am a noob (newbie) to this group. My daughters are coming to Thailand in 2 weeks. Both are in their early 20s. One is coming to teach and the other has applied to a university in Thailand and is waiting to hear back.

If she gets in, school won’t start until July or August so… I guess she would first have to do a tourist visa and then ask the school to start the process for the education visa so that she doesn’t have to leave the country? This is all so new and happening so fast.

My husband and I will be down there in July and he is doing a retirement visa but I was going to do a DTV visa. I wasnt sure if I can work if coming under his retirement visa. Which would be better to do?

Hey everyone, I’m currently in Thailand and just got a remote job with an Australian company (starting Monday). I want to apply for the DTV visa, but I’m not sure if my work contract alone is enough or if I need to have been employed for longer. Also, does anyone know which nearby country is best to apply from?

Would appreciate any insights—thanks! 🙏

i just finished a contract and my non b (i've been living here on non B for years)is expiring on the 30th, i want to come back on a tourist visa for a while, take it easy and enjoy thailand before i start a new job. Im thinking about going to Vientiane soon and apply for a tourist visa there, what do i need to know, and how long would it take?

Hello,

Me and my wife are shareholders of a company and we submitted our business documents. We simply sent same documents with my wife they did not want any additional employment contract for her, while they wanted from me. As I am the 50% shareholder of the company. Should I write an employment contract directly to myself. Can anyone help ?

Thank you

Planning on getting a non immigration O visa later this year. Although I am married to a Thai national I have seen perhaps as I’m over 50 and can afford the financial requirements a retirement visa might be the way to go as opposed to a marriage visa, any thoughts! Thanks!
