Applied for DTV from Singapore as a Singaporean Citizen through digital nomad scheme.

Applied on 23rd feb

Requested more info on 24th feb

Changed to pending approval on 25feb

Changed to interview request on 12th March 4pm

Interview at 1030am on 13th March*

Visa approved 9am 14th March

*I was asked for my exit stamp from Thailand to ensure that I was not applying for the VISA from Thailand. However, I could not provide this as I departed via self-service gantry where there is no officer to stamp your passport. Prepare to bring alternative evidence like your plane ticket and SG arrival card.

Also please check your email regularly as my interview was scheduled the very next day!

Hello,

I am actually in Phuket and about to apply for DTV soft muay thai in Jakarta. Please can you clarify how does it work, do i need to fill up on the official website once i am in Jakarta or i can do it right now? Once i filled up the form, how long does it takes to get appointment in Jakarta thai embassy? i presume who need to be there to fill up the form also physically?or i can go at thai embassy by myself without any appointment?

Thank for all you answer in advance and your help.

My DTV just got approved, here is my timeline.

- I applied on Jan 18th on soft power, medical, with 1 doctor appointment letter indicates baby delivery,

1 joint bank statement over $16000

- 2days later I got email: Proof of current financial evidence ,e.g. Bank statement not less than $16,000/person or $36,000 for joint account that show applicant's name.

- Submitted new bank statement as required.

- long waiting~ status stucked on Pending for a month

- 2 days ago, I wrote an email to info@thaicgny.com states my situation that knowing DTV visa approval status earlier will be a big help considering 1) going to Thailand for pregnancy care and delivery and postpartum care, needs time to make more doctor appointments and settle down. 2) waiting for my DTV visa approved and then apply DTV for my spouse and kid. 3) Have one toddler that needs hiring nanny in advance.

- 1 day later, I received email says already push a note to consider my visa soon.

- Today, got my visa approved
