I’m going in a few days to apply online for my DTV in Bali and have some questions for you all. Thank you!! 🙏

1. When they ask for accommodation name in the address section what should you enter if it’s a house you’re renting (not a hotel or condo)? You can’t leave it blank 🤷‍♀️

2. If asked to show a hotel reservation in Indonesia does it need to be in Jakarta (where the embassy is) or is Bali ok?

3. With the new US passports, I’m not sure if when they ask for the biopage they won’t both sides or just the main page with the majority of info?

4. Did anyone need to show TM30 in addition to lease document for rental home in Thailand?

DTV Success - Hanoi - 5 Business days - German passport holder

I flew to Hanoi on 22 April after staying in Thailand for 90 days (extended tourist visa).

1. Applied for DTV (Freelancer / Digital Nomad) on 23 April at 1:12 am on the official Thai website.

2. Status changed to “Pending Approval” on 24 April.

3. No additional docs requested.

4. Received visa on 29 April at 6:20 pm.

5. Entered Thailand through DKM airport on 1 May. Neither AirAsia employees at Hanoi airport nor the DMK immigration officer asked me anything. The imm. officer only asked if I filled out the TDAC, and when I said “yes”, he went ahead and gave me my 6 months visa after I showed him my printed out DTV.

Docs submitted (I used [members only] to merge my PDFs):

1. Docs indicating current location:

1.1 Airbnb confirmation Hanoi (initially booked 4 nights & extended my stay later on)

3.3 6 months of payslips of my other German bank account where I receive payments from my clients. I marked all client payments green (in German, not translated to English)

Additional notes:

- Print out your Thai DTV visa and show it to the Thai immigration officer.

- As you can see in the attached cover letter, I explained every document using red letters in the left corner so the embassy employees know straight away what each page is about.

- The authority in my German passport says "Botschaft Bangkok" — this is exactly what I typed into the field “Issuing Authority”, which has worked for me and another German passport holder who has the same authority in his passport and who also applied for the Freelancer DTV.

I’m currently in Hanoi preparing to apply for the DTV visa, but after reading a lot of recent experiences, I’m starting to feel a bit unsure. Last year, I entered Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa and later enrolled in a six-month Thai language course. With the proper visa extensions, I was able to stay for a full year—all completely by the book. I’ve never done any border runs or overstayed. I even took a short solo trip to Hong Kong to visit art exhibitions with friends during that time.

I’m now applying for the DTV as a freelance graphic designer, and I have all the required documentation ready—proof of income, an extensive portfolio, and everything else listed in the guidelines. At first, I thought my clean history and the fact that I followed all the rules would work in my favor. But some of the posts I’ve come across suggest otherwise, and now I’m wondering: could studying Thai in Bangkok actually hurt my chances instead of helping them?

Hi all,

The Thai embassy in The Philippines asked me the following thing:

“Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : Please upload a copy of your company registration in “my home country”, certificates of courses you have attended, and employment certificates from your previous companies as proof of your professional experience.”

However, my business is registered in Estonia as an eResident, as explained in a cover letter and the registration uploaded to the portal and explained. Yet they ask for a registration in my home country now.

Any tips on how to address this properly?

Thanks!

Few notes-

*Money does not have to be in your acount longer then 30 days

*Joint acount not a problem

*Passport place of issue- I messed up on this and put NJ. But they still approved.

hello guys how are you want to ask something is it possible to apply for a tourist visa to Thailand using business account statement for my own company and registered certificate CIP for my own company under my name but I don't have personal account

Has anyone recently tried to extend their DTV visa at the immigration office in Phuket?

I'm assuming the same documents are required as during the initial application.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
