Hi 👋

For those who applied for the DTV visa from Vietnam —

did anyone apply in HCMC and then travel to another city (Da Nang / Hanoi / etc.) while waiting?

Was it okay, or did they ask for new proof of location?

Thanks!

Is it a MUST (in order to have Visa approved) to include proof of an onward flight confirmation within the 180 days in the DTV application? Thanks.

What is online interview? I applied for DTV from Turkey 2 months ago and i sent all documents. Today i got email for online interview. What they ask at this interview?

Asking this question specifically to Canadians that are not freelancers but are employed by a company in Canada that allows you to work remotely and that have applied for DTV via HCMC. What documents did you provide and or were you asked for additional documents.

Let me be very clear; I am looking to see actual answers that are helpful. I am not asking for speculation. I am requesting information based on actual experience from Canadians and Canadians only.

Thank you in advance.

Can I apply for the DTV from my home country if I’m not actually located there?

I am from the US and have been in Thailand for a few months now, planning to apply for the digital nomad DTV. I was going to do it from Laos and use a parent sponsorship but learned that Asian countries don’t take parent sponsorship letters. My parents transferred money into my account but only a few weeks ago.

I’m hearing that the DTV may get cancelled or the requirements may change, so I’d like to apply sooner than later. Can I leave Thailand (go to Hanoi for example) and put my location as my residence in the US and apply from the US embassy in DC?

Additionally, does anyone have a definitive answer on if the Hanoi embassy has a seasoning requirement for the 500,000 baht?

Thank you in advance!

Hi I am in Hanoi for applying DTV yesterday. The website says "Status -Processing Pending Document Check" but I did NOY pay yet. Should I apply new form and pay? Just ignore not paying one? Or wait until the immigration to respond me?

Here is what happened. All my documents were ready so I was going to put my credit card in but but it says "0" and was waiting about 10 minutes. Then I saw credit card button on the right was active so I clicked. That was working! I got "$ 0" receipt via my email. Now my status is pending.

Do you think that apply the form? Or wait until they say something to me?

Has anyone heard of something like this?

I just figured it out I dont need to pay for applying DTV because I am Korean. 🤭

Quick question; when you go to apply for a 12 month retirement visa extension for the 2nd time is there a 2 week 'under consideration' period or do you get the stamp on the same day? Many thanks.

I have a question regarding financial proof for the DTV visa

I provided the following documents:

• A bank statement from my business account showing transaction history for the last 3 months with total inflow of more than 500,000 THB

• A bank statement from my separate savings account showing a balance of more than 500,000 THB, issued on 22 December

After that, the consulate replied with this request:

Other requested documents: bank documents showing FINAL BALANCE equal to at least 500,000 THB for PAST THREE MONTHS, in addition to the bank document from 22 December provided. Bank document must show final balances, no need to show the transaction history.

Now I’m a bit confused about what exactly they expect.

If someone has already solved this exact situation — I’d really appreciate your experience 🙏

Hi Everyone, I'm in Austin Texas, USA and have already have flight booked from DFW to CNX on January 11th, 2026. I can cleanly show bank statements, a portfolio of clients and sales of IP assets.

Can you recommend a school or agent who can help me get a 5-year DTV Soft Power Visa in Chiang Mai?

I sent a formal inquiry letter to New Stamford Language School and followed up through Facebook, WhatsApp and LinkedIn but never heard back.

Hello! Has anyone here successfully applied for the DTV visa as a business owner with a company incorporated outside Thailand?

I'm wondering what documents you used to prove your company's legitimacy and financial activity. My company is in its first year, so I don't have any filed tax returns yet - only one year of business bank statements showing cash flow.

Did the consulate accept management accounts, or do they require statutory accounts that have been filed with your country's registry?

Any insights would be really helpful!
