Started Jan 1, 2025, tourist visas are obtained online, right? Any idea what the approval time is? How does that affect visa run by land? Appreciate any wisdom.

Hi all, and thanks for your enligthments. Sorry for posting anonymous 🙏🏻😊

My questions are : when you apply as a freelancer, and show your tax return, does it have to be in english ? Mine are in Spanish.

Second question : what if my tax returns are not just about my freelance activity but a mix of incomes ? (I’m also a normal employee in Spain and pay taxes on that and renting out a property)

Do you think they will look specifically for my tax returns regarding the freelance activity or not ?

Grateful for all the help ! And happy new year to all !!!

"Address information"

Could you please clarify what I should write in this section? Should I provide my current permanent address or the address of the hotel where I’m staying in Vietnam?

Thanks

Quick question, what is considered "recent" statement with end balance of 500,000? I a applying on 6 january, have screenshots from 20 december when my salary was deposited. However, since then, I am now below the required amount. Would the screenshot from 20 december suffice? Applying via Ho Chi Minh City

Hi guys! I am going to apply DTV visa in Cambodia. The issue is my bank does not provide bank statement in English, but they do provide Balance Certificate in English.

Can I attach a letter explaining that bank does not issue statement in English and BC for proof of 500,000 THB equivalent in my account? Anyone has experience like this or suggestion? Thanks very much!

I'm heading to Laos next week for the DTV. Does anyone know if it’s available online or I've to book an appointment?

I have a silly question for US passport holders.

The form asks for city of birth but our passports use the state and country. Did anyone get any questions about this? I'm just not sure how they'll verify which city I was born in since nothing I'm submitting will have this info. I'm currently in HCMC and plan to apply here.

Im from Turkey, my bank doesnt provide 6 or 3 months statement in English. My bank only provides currently how much my account has in the saving in English. Is it enough for MuayThai Soft Power DTV ( I have 500,000 THB in account currently.) I am applying in Cambodia Phnom Penh

## DTV AFTER STUDENT VISA WHILE BEING A FREELANCE

Hello everyone!

I'm a Freelance and I've been living in Thailand since February 2022 with tourist + student visa (so definitely a LOT of stamps on my passport haha)

My last student visa ended on the 14th of December 2024. I'm back in France and plan on applying for a DTV visa to come back to BKK on the 23rd of January

My question: as I was previously on a student visa and not supposed to work in Thailand, how do I explain being a freelance and showing them my company registration/invoices for the last couple of months when applying for the DTV visa? 🫠🫠

Not sure if it's a legitimate question or if my overthinking brain is doing its magic again so I figured I'd ask!

Hi I only see one visa agency in Krabi called Buttercup can anyone reccomend them for a retirement visa? Or would a bigger town be more wise to try to do it instead?
