Hi all, I'm about to submit my documents to the BOI for the LTR "work from Thailand" visa. Has anyone done this yet and have a copy or suggestions on what should be included in the employment letter ?

Approved in Hanoi (Workcation)

July 1, Tue: Applied

July 2 Wed: Add Doc

July 7 Mon: Approved

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who shared countless application reviews.

In my case, I annotated the Financial Evidence section in detail for the past three months and even included screenshot captures on current day, but ultimately, I was asked to simply resubmit the original bank statement. Just for your reference.

Just as I’ve received help, I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have.

Having issues with downloading my proof of residency and income. It’s says 3jpeg and having hard time getting this E-visa. Any ideas

Filling in the online eVisa for O visa.

After uploading passport, photo, ID....came to the placethat I can not skip nor I have an idea why is it asking me. I clicked LTR (Long Term Resident) Visa (P) at the beginning.

Anyone knows how to skip that? Or do it all over again with different visa type? Edit: over again, as "Non Immigrant Visa".

Yeah, it can not be changed, it says "The first step cannot be edited because it may affect the next step information."

4 . Letter of qualification endorsement issued from the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) (valid for only 60 days since the date of issue). The applicant can apply for the letter of qualification endorsement via https://visa.boi.go.th.

What is the minimum income required to be eligible for the DTV visa as a content creator, such as a vlogger or YouTuber? Will the embassy reject the application if the monthly income is below $1,000? Could you please share your experience?

Workcation (digital nomad) DTV approved in 5 working days - London 🇹🇭 🇬🇧

June 12th - Applied online, via the freelancer/business owner route, selecting the Royal Thai Embassy in London.

June 15th - Received request for two additional documents (one more proof of current location, and three months of recent utility bills) which I sent within the hour.

June 18th - Received e-visa in my inbox.

Notes:

I sent everything as requested in the initial application but was still asked for the two documents above. Balance on statement ending on 10th June was around £14k, and I only sent this one month statement. The statement showed a starting balance of £12k though, and an end balance of £14k so that would have shown it wasn’t just deposited in the last month. I wasn’t asked for more bank statements, but I did include three months of payslips in my original application.

Documents I attached:

Cover letter confirming type of DTV I was applying and that I understood employment was prohibited and all my earnings would be from outside Thailand.

Employment certificate on my company headed paper, signed by hand and stamped with the company stamp, detailing my position, salary, and confirmation that I am a remote worker and can work from anywhere in the world.

Companies House document showing I owned the company, and that the company had been incorporated in 2011.

Three months of payslips from one client only (not all my clients) showing a steady income.

Flight ticket and hotel confirmation email.

Driving licence as proof of current address and location (but was later asked to send another document to prove my current location, such as three months of any utility bill, so I sent my last three mobile phone bills which was accepted).

Key tip: keep your documents in order, make sure all fields are correct, combine into one single PDF with a cover letter at the front and all the supporting documents after that in the order listed above, and keep an eye on emails in case further documents are requested. PM me if you have any queries 😊

Hi there! I need to make one visa for the UK and one visa for France for my Thai girlfriend who will be visiting in September. What is the best strategy for the best chances to get those visas, knowing she is not working at the moment and doesn't have any property or business to her name? Thanks for your answers!

So anyone have made a visa with an agent ? I want to apply for the dtv visa and i want to take an agent to make it for me he is doing it for 9 months he tell me can i trust them ? He tells me he will apply for me via cooking classes (i wanted to try via muay thai) but he told me many rejections by muay thai so should i trust it ? They ask 1000 euro for all costs of process and documents

DTV was denied, I'm so sad. In the US, it takes 14 days and $400. They said I spelled my name wrong and didn't match my documents. My middle name has a "-" in it, and it was not included on the passport page. I let their automated passport reader fill out the text fields. I should have double-checked. Any way I have to be out of my house in the US by August 1st. So I was thinking of just flying to Hanoi and getting it there. I also have a wife and 3 kids I have to account for. My main question is, do you think the Thai government might think this is suspicious?

✨ DTV Dependent Visa Approved! ✨

Sharing my timeline in case it helps anyone currently waiting:

• Submitted: May 22

• Document Request (photo): May 30

• Status changed to “Pending Approval”: June 4

• Approved: June 11 ✅

• Applied at: Los Angeles Thai Consulate

📌 Side Note: I had been checking the portal daily with no change, but on June 11 I decided to send a polite email asking for a status update—and it was approved later that same day. Not saying it’s guaranteed, but it definitely felt like it helped move things along.

If you’re waiting and it’s been a while, a gentle follow-up email might be worth a shot.

Wishing smooth approvals to everyone still in the queue! 🙏🏽💻✈️
