Just completed the form on the website (not app). Last time I tried it failed, apparently wasn't working..?

Anybody had success recently?? Is it working now?

Posting anon as no one knows our plans yet.

I’ve looked on here and can’t seem to find an answer. So hoping someone can help.

We plan on entering Thailand in Jan 2025. If I apply for a DTV now, if approved, how long do you have to fly in to Thailand?

Just trying to gauge when we should apply to the UK embassy.

Thank you in advance

Hi All,

I have got my DTV approved from Dubai.

Thank you so much to this group and everyone help.

Hi everyone,

Could anyone clarify how far in advance we’re allowed to apply for the DTV? For exxample, if I plan to arrive in Thailand in March 2025, would it be possible to submit the application as early as December 2024?

Has anyone had experience with this through the Hanoi Embassy? Thank you for your help!

DTV approved today. Sydney, Australia Consulate.

Type: Business Owner

Submitted: 21 October

Pending approval: 24 October

I’m only travelling in January, but wanted to be safe in case the rules or cost change.

Feel free to ask any additional questions.

Can anyone tell me how long the process takes to get your multiple entry retirement visas if done thru an agent please? This is for a married couple.

Hello again! Got my husband and daughter approved for their DTV’s as dependents via the Washington DC embassy.

Here is my original post for when I got approved:

[members only]/?

September 6 - submitted their applications

September 23rd - requested my marriage certificate, passports of both mother and father, and flight itinerary with all of our names on it.

I had already submitted our marriage certificate but I guess they missed it so I resubmitted.

I had already submitted my passport but I resubmitted with mine and my husbands.

I had already submitted the flight itinerary so I resubmitted.

Our situation was a little crazy. We are taking our dogs with us and our original flight was Tuesday, September 24th. Dogs got denied boarding (story for a different time), and so we had to rebook our flights to tonight, September 27th.

September 24th - my husbands visa got approved but we didn’t hear back about my daughters visa.

September 25th - request for more info for our daughter. They wanted an updated flight itinerary because they “can’t approve a visa for anyone currently in Thailand” because according to our original itinerary we were already there. I resubmitted our updated itinerary and wrote a kind cover letter explaining what happened and then something to the effect of, “My visa and my husbands visa have been approved already. I appreciate the expedited nature of this application for my daughter so she has no trouble entering with us.”

Hers was approved later that day.

I borrowed money from my mom to have the full $32k in my account for their applications as I wasn’t able to get a clear answer as to if each applicant needed their own 500,000 baht.

For all three of our applications, DC took from 12-16 business days to process.

On our way to the Houston airport to move! ✌️✌️

How far in advance can I apply for a DTV? If I plan on leaving at the end of November can I apply 3 months prior? Is there a point of expiration if I don't enter the country in a certain time length?

Thank you!

Just had my DTV approved. Remote work as a day trader (Stocker Trader). I applied through the New York office in US (online) as I am American. I submitted most recent bank statement showing adequate funds, a cover letter explaining I was self employed working for myself and listing my additional attachments of the following to show this - trades year to date (2 individual brokerage accounts), my most recent monthly brokerage statements for each account, the most recent crypto statement for the one account I have crypto in, and my last years tax return. I was never asked for any further paperwork. My status went from pending document approval, right to pending final approval a day later, then reverted back to pending document approval around 10 business days into the process, where it stayed for 1 day before returning to pending final approval. It took exactly 15 business days (As was listed on the website). There were not any data points I could find for this type of remote work anywhere, so I was pleasantly surprised to get approved. I do have a very good passive income which allows me to travel and also explained this in my cover letter (its supported by my tax return). I put all of this all in one pdf and compressed it to submit on the webpage. Hope this helps others.

When/How early can you apply for your first extension of stay? Is there a time window? Right now I entered Thailand on a Non-immigrant B (employment) and received the 90 day stamp, work permit is also issued.
