I’m going to appy DTV visa in Hanoi next month and im going to stay there for 8 days (haven’t booked the return flight yet). Should be enough for 8 days?

I have a few questions if anyone could give me some advice. I would appreciate so much!

1. I am online trader from UK and been living in Thailand for 1 years.

2. How long does it take to get Visa and Is there a high chance that my visa will be rejected because I am not the employed?

3. If a visa is rejected , should I appeal immediately? Or how long do I have to wait before applying again?

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice!

Hello group ✨

I have a question about the legality of online employment when applying for the Soft power Muay Thai DTV visa. Is it legal to work online for an overseas company in this visa category? From what I’ve read in the group and online, many who applied for soft power are showing income from overseas (and they ask for proof) so it seems ok, but it’s not the workcation option and legally it seems a bit grey.

Is it better to say unemployed or student?

I’m applying from Hanoi this week and a little worried now with posts about rejections…

Thank you 🙏🏼

I left Thailand two weeks ago on my non-immigrant B visa. I own and operate a fairly unsuccessful Thai business so I'd rather apply for a DTV with my successful online business.

Can I still apply or do I have to wait until that non-immigrant B visa is expired in October?

Will there be any issues with the fact that I worked online on my non-immigrant B visa?

Hi members

Doing my evisa non immigration...up to Flights details of my last trip..

Any ideas how to find this information..or just put not available..cheers

Looking for feedback on those that applied for a Non-O Thai Family in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh, are there many differences in requirements? Processing time, document uploads, length of visa..

Or would it be better to go to Vientiane, Laos seeing as they offer more convenient options?

I would really appreciate some advice. I am going to apply for my DTV visa as someone who works for a company outside of Thailand. I work remotely for an educational company, and I have worked with them since 2023. I have an ongoing contract, but I am a bit worried that on my contract it states it is a zero hour contract. It says when I started the job, but does not give any end date, as it is just ongoing. As mentioned, I have worked with this company since 2023 and I have just got my schedule for continuing work for September - it is semester based, so I work September to end of November and then again February to May every year. Do you think this is OK, or do I need additional information of support. Thank you for any help you can give.

Has anyone successfully applied for DTV through HCM? In the case I'm unemployed, is it sufficient to just have a letter explaining how I will be able to sustain my life in Thailand?

The approval of my DTV visa. I was never asked by Thai immigration to produce the DTV visa; they merely stamped my passport.

I paid less than 10,000 baht for the soft power (cooking class), but the price has already increased.

Hi everyone. I plan to apply for the DTV visa at the end of July/ start of August. However, I'm a bit worried about the 500k baht.

Right now I've got 350k in my bank account, but won't receive the rest until July 20th ish. Will it still be ok if I technically just have the 500k 1.5 weeks before applying? Or you would advise that I gather the funds a bit quicker / delay my application date a bit?

I have used the search function of course but just want more definite confirmation. Thanks for all your help and support on this group!
