Hi everyone,

I have a few questions regarding the documents requested by the Thai Embassy for the DTV visa application. I am currently working a remote job for a company that is not based in Thailand but they asking for Thailand company VAT and Thai ID. Anyone face this issue before, can advise for me please.

* Thailand Company VAT Registration Certificate (Phor Por 20) in Thai version ภพ. 20

* Properly scan clear copy of Thai ID (Both Sides) of authorized person and to be signed

DTV approved.

Workation + Sponsor letter.

7 days start to end.

Taipei was great but you should have all your documentation and perfect digital/paper trail from invoices and receipts with names and a trail into your bank account.

Entered Suvarnabhumi woth printed e-visa and zero issues or questions.

I am just at the start of the process to apply for me and my wife's LTR visa under the "retiree over 50yrs with >= $80000 annual income" category and ran into a few challenges on the Thai embassy's website here in the US.

I filled out the online application but at the end it wanted me to upload an Authotizatioj letter from BOI (the Thailand Boatd of Investment).

So then I logged into their website and they want me to upload a bunch of documents some of which are mentioned as (To be requested on a case by case basis) e.g., the police clearance certificates.

My question is if i don't submit these in the first go, will they reject my application? Or shall I submit the FBI clearance asking with the rest of it?

Has anyone actually successful been through the LTR process?

I'm in Cakifornia and trying to do this all online before we fly in sometime in late October 2025.

Any advice will be appreciated

Hey everyone, I have submitted my DTV visa application, and gotten a request for additional documents. Most of the documents were easy to get, however they are asking for payslips from April, March and May.

My contract shows that I started working 1st of May, meaning I obviously only have 1 month payslip to show. They're essentially asking for payslips from my company from before I actually started working.

However, I have an extra written letter from my company CEO showing the duration of my contract, and the amount I will be getting paid in the coming months + showing that I can indeed work remotely etc.

Any thoughts on this being sufficient... or am I screwed? 😎

Hello, when filling out non O application retirement,in Australia and they ask for yearly income above and below certain US dollars, Aus pensions are well below 1st amount of us$25000 does it later ask for a bank statement of fund's? Of which I've no problems

Also as they ask for flight details of which I'm not sure, I am making sure I can get the visa, first beforehand ,

as from what I've been reading you have a 3 month window to engage,Kapuncap and regards to all Col 🙏🙏

How hard is it to apply for a Retirement Visa?

Can I do it myself?

I already have a Thai Bank account.

Thanks.

I have some questions about the travel to Thailand part of the application process.

On the application form there is a box to fill in where you will be embarking/flying from into Thailand and a box to fill in the flight number.

If I haven’t already booked my flight to Thailand when submitting the application, is it okay just to fill in with a flight number from the route I’m likely to take?

From reading other posts I understand that they may then ask for an actual flight ticket confirmation with name as part of the supporting documents. Is this always the case? Has anyone applied and not been asked to show this?

And finally, if granted the visa, does it matter if you then change your flight into Thailand from what you put on the application/supporting documents?

I’m applying from my home country (UK) and flying direct from there to Thailand, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for any information you’re able to offer 🙏

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share my DTV visa experience with the Thai Consulate in Dubai.

I applied as a company owner and submitted:

• Trade License

• Share Registration Agreement

• No Objection Certificate (NOC)

• Bank statement

I don’t keep funds sitting in one account for 3 months. Instead, I open monthly fixed deposits — every month I transfer money from my personal account into savings to earn interest. It’s clearly visible in the statements that funds always come from my personal account to deposits and return back after each term.

At first, I submitted 4 separate statements for March, April, May, and June, showing I always had over 500,000 THB.

However, the consulate requested one 3-month statement showing the required amount.

Today I provided the 3-month statement along with a cover letter explaining my deposit structure.

Just wondering — has anyone else faced a similar situation with DTV applications?

Would appreciate any insights

I will apply DTV with remote job next 2 weeks in Vietnam. I have all fully documents and I prepare but my bank account has only 170000 baht now and I will deposit 330000 tomorrow. Can I get the visa? Is will be risk? I lived in Thailand for 1 year on ED visa.

Please advise to me

Visa approved - Thai Embassy in Vienna - Austria

Soft Power Route with Muay Thai (6-month course)

Documents submitted (on Sunday and paid immediately)

• 3-month bank statements from my savings account with far more than the required 500k.

• Documents provided by the Muay Thai Center (a reputable company with hundreds of DTV visa graduates)

• Passport + photo

• Current telephone billing

After 9 business days, on a Friday, further document requests arrived:

• Hometown Registration form (just the telephone billing was obviously not enough; I hadn't thought of that at first)

• Muay Thai course syllabus

• Thai company business establishment document (Thai DBD issued within 6 months)

The Thai DBD was initially included, but dated August 2024.

I immediately contacted the Muay Thai Center, and they helped me immediately and promised quick assistance. The very next day, I had the course syllabus and the DBD document.

8 business days later, the status changed from document review to pending approval.

1 business day later, at 4:00 p.m., I received the visa.

So, in total, it took 18 business days.

I would like to thank everyone; the group is very helpful and also helps me be patient and get a little familiar with the process without getting nervous.

See you in Thailand 🙂
