Hello Everyone,

Here are my application processes,

1. As an Australian, I applied my DTV visa online via thaievisa.go.th in Australia.

2. I'm not a digital nomad nor freelancer so I applied as a remote worker.

3. Because of applying as a remote worker, I need to submit employment contract and a letter from my employer confirming that i'm eligible to work remotely.

4. After submitting the above documents with the remaining requirements such as proof of funds, proof of location etc.

5. Also need to provide intended travel date.

6. After 7 working days my DTV visa was approved on 21 November.

Heading to Bangkok in New Year.

Note: If your employment contract does not include remote work clauses, you need a letter from your employer confirming you are eligible to work remotely.

Wishing you all all the best. Hope to catch up some of you in Thailand.

Hi

Applied in Hanoi just after Hotel Check-In 22.11.2024 16.30h, (Softpower Muay Thai).

Tuesday 26.11. in the afternoon status changed to something like „ processing Approval pending“.

Thursday 28.11. around 19.00h email arrived with Visa Approved.

Thanks to everybody who shared their experiences.

Hello guys,

I have a physical freelance contract in my hand. How can I submit it on online application?

Besides, I have payslips in my hand but it'll be in different language than the embassy's origin language (and my payslips are not in english or in thai). Would it be still ok to provide these documents?

Thank you

DTV Visa - appplication KL

It took me 6 working days to get my visa.

I applied Tuesday, they asked for additional documents Friday late afternoon, I delivered yesterday afternoon, approval today!

NOTE:

They still require you to go to the embassy of the country, where your employers company is located to authenticate your contract + company's registration/business license.

DO THAT before you send the documents to the Thai Embassy and it save you time.

As this requirement was off their website, I thought the online process changed that - but no, they still require it!

The US embassy let me in without an upfront booked appointment, but I would not count on this.

I am positive, if I'd delivered the US Embassy authentication letter straight on Friday, I'd have the visa already on Monday.

I have two questions that I have looked for and I couldn't find any answers. If I missed something, I apologize.

1. If I apply in my home country and leave to another country (not thailand) before the approval, could that be an issue? and

2. I was asked for 500k THB (12500 Euro) which is less than 500k THB - did anyone get approved with only 12500 Euro instead of the 500k thb equivalent in Euro? I could get the money, but I wouldn't sell more stocks to realize gains/pay taxes and have it sitting around in a savings account if it can be avoided :D

Thanks a lot

DTV Visa Approved in Taipei with Investment Account Statements

Background:

My friend has been doing unpaid volunteer work for an NGO in Southeast Asia and applied for a DTV Visa using investment account funds.

Embassy Choice:

After researching several options, we chose the Taipei embassy (out of Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh) for its more flexible approach, and it turned out to be the right choice. The embassy was very responsive and helpful.

Procedure:

- Several emails correspondence with them about the required documents for my friend’s case. We even printed them out for backup

- Arrived before 9 AM, no appointment needed.

- The officer questioned the NGO work and whether funds were in cash or stock, consulting her supervisor to see if my friend could apply. No money accepted.

- Returned at 4 PM to find the application accepted, and my friend received the visa the next afternoon.

I’m not going into details of the documents as you can find them online in their websites but just a few key points to my friends case:

1. Proof of funds:

- Money 13,000 GBP withdrawn from investment into investible cash 1 week before applying

- Provided screenshot of current investment account statement to show the money is in investable cash and can be liquided. Showing the same owner and transaction

- Bank statement in the last 3 months

- Statement of assest from the investment advisor to verify the ownership of the fund

2. Lots of proof (resume, profile, contracts) to validate the remote work, even its unpaid

3. A personal statement clarified how my friend met the DTV requirements without strictly fitting the standard rules.

I hope this is helpful.

DTV approved.

Danish citizen so applied through the E visa system Copenhagen.

Pretty simple and just submitted what was in the form:

Remote work.

Applied and paid the fee last Monday.

Work contract (Taiwan employment).

For the 500,000 i just took a screenshot of my account with current status.

As expected they asked for further documentation as my contract does not mention remote work, so a follow up document from my line manager sorted it out apparently.

Good luck out there

Hi,

I'm planning to apply for the DTV under medical treatment (dentist) at the embassy in Vientiane next week.

I've searched through all related posts in this group but there's limited info on this specific scenario, so I'm looking for some input/advice.

1. Has anyone else applied for the DTV under medical treatment (dentist) at the embassy in Vientiane?

2. If so, exactly what information did you need to provide?

3. Is there any reason why I should go to a different embassy instead? (I'm able to provide 6mths of bank statements >500k thb so that isn't a problem)

I've contacted the embassy directly and am waiting for a response, they usually redirect to their website though which doesn't give further info.

I'm currently in Bangkok, so before exiting I want to make sure I've got everything in order for a quick approval.

I'm yet to visit a dentist here in Bangkok, but will do later this week so they can send a summary of the work needed unless simply 'having a confirmed appointment' is enough.

Any input/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, has anyone been rejected for the DTV visa even when they brought all the required documents? My partner and I brought everything and were told that we pay but we might won’t receive the visa and there would be no refund.

Guys need some guidance in getting DTV approved. I have the documents ready to submit as self employed. Need some gudiance on

1. Which neighbouring country of Thailand have smoothest and fastest approval process

2. How can I apply and submit the documents to them?

3. Do I need to be that respective country during the process?

4. What’s the estimated time from application to approval.

Would love to hear from you guys, thanks
