Hi 👋🏼

I am new here and starting to look into moving to Thailand.

I am a scuba diving instructor and last time I worked in Thailand, I had a visa and work permit through my employer but looking to find work after arrival in Thailand this time.

I have seen mentions of DTV and soft power visas but trying to understand the difference and what might be best for me to apply for? Thanks in advance ☺️🧜🏼‍♀️

Approved in 3.5 business days from Jakarta.

Wasn't asked for any additional docs.

I had done a 12 month education visa in Thailand in 2023, so I thought they might ask to see my passport pages. They never asked in the end.

I found an awesome site for pdfs. Much faster than some other more popular sites

Good luck to everyone 🍀

Hello,

I added my my card info it said “failed” but now it is “pending payment” but I can’t proceed with the payment anymore. Anyone had a same problem? How long did it take to be anle to add another card as a payment?

Hey guys,

So I just got asked for my birth cert. I've uploaded passport, bank statements, drivers licenses... All the typical stuff and they're now asking for a birth cert, however, I don't have one and it can take weeks to get on in my country...

Can i go to the thai imigration here and figure out another way for proof of ID? How can I talk to someone that deals with the documents to at least give me an extension on the "Incomplete applications over 14 days will be automatically removed from the system."?

I'm a little lost at the moment, and don't want to stay in laos much longer, haha!

Hello everyone

I applied for the DTV (Departmental Tax Return) as an online worker on Preply. I'm being asked for additional documents, including my most recent tax return. It turns out I don't have this document, and my income from last year isn't significant because I started my online job a few months ago. What can I do please?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello,

I am preparing my documents for my application & I see that a letter from your registered company is recommended. But what if you are self employed as a sole proprietor?

Hi everyone. I applied for DTV in Malaysia but for personal reasons need to fly out of Malaysia to Indonesia. If I open a new DTV application under the Indonesia embassy, will I run into issues if my first application is incomplete/pending?

What do you fill in at "place of issue"? Most passports or maybe all of them are using the term "authority" for the issuing authority. My German passport lists the city and the mayor as the issuing authority. I googled other passports online, and many don't even list the city name, just the issuing authority. So what did you enter here? Just the country where the passport was issued, or did you copy exactly what's listed under "Authority" in your passport?

When applying for a DTV visa in Jakarta. Wouldn't it be a problem if I was in Bali? Share your experiences. Thank you.
