First, thank you to everybody that contributes on Visa advice.   i’ve been in Thailand for eight months. I’ve been doing Visa runs along with the visit back to the USA.
 I’m using a Visa agent, star visa in Chiang Mai
 they helped me get married last week to a Thai lady.  now they say I have to go to their office in Laos  and get a Type O visa. 
 I already have the ฿400,000  in American dollars in  my Charles Schwab checking account. That account is only two months old.
 they’re telling me that they need to see that I’ve had  at least $1000 in my other checking account for the last three months. They didn’t tell me when I started this process two months ago. My average balance has been over $1000 but there’s been periods where it went less than 1000. Is this something that’s true
am looking at a DTV. Would love to hear from people that have actually applied for this recently. Would appreciate some advice, especially when and where to apply. Am in Hua Hin at the moment and leaving Thailand in 2 weeks.
I have accommodation booked for the month of September in Hua Hin.
Will be in Cape Town for August where I would have the whole month to tackle the DTV.
I'm applying for the DTV under the Workcation category in HMC.
I've been asked: "Please provide details about your current work, including the examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."
I've already submitted:
* LinkedIn Profile PDF
* Employer Company Commercial License
* Employment Confirmation Letter
* Employment Contract
I don't know what else they want. I'm a VP of Engineering working full-time remotely (not a freelancer), so I don't have a traditional portfolio. I'm planning to submit a concise work summary outlining my role and responsibilities, along with a notarised copy of my university degree. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything else you think I should add? Thanks!!
Quick question about speeding up the DTV application:
I’ve heard that some applications have been stuck in review for over 2 weeks.
I also heard that a few people reached out via Line to check on the status.
Would it be wise to do the same if my application has been pending for about 4–5 days? Also… has anyone ever tried asking if there’s a way to *pay* for an express review? 😅
Curious to hear if anyone has experience with this or any tips to share!
Hey all! Thanks for sharing all your info. I got approved for my DTV workcation from US. I went the DTV route as I was denied access to BKK about a month ago.
Now that I have the proper documentation I am planning to re-enter BKK tomorrow. Of course I am nervous now 😅even though I did everything correctly. When I arrive and they ask me how long I would I like to stay and what will I be doing. Shouldn’t I be able to say 180 days and that I will be enjoying the country and working as a digital nomad on my computer?
Any recommendations on how to best answer these questions?
Hiya my friends, I am from USA but have business & work permit in Laos & go to Thailand a lot for hospital/stay/buy things, would applying for DTV be good idea & straightforward? Thank you for any advice
