Hello, I’m going to apply for the DTV but I’m not sure whether I should go for the soft power or remote worker route.
My plan is to attend soft power activities (regardless of DTV) for a few months but I wonder whether it will hold up in the long run since it doesn’t really make that much sense for one to do the activities for 5 years.
Would it be okay if I show my earnings as a remote worker during future entries if I initially apply under soft power? Was wondering since the DTV visa document itself doesn’t really state which category it was issued under, and I earn in my local currency through my company.
If anyone has a good idea on which type (soft power vs remote) would be more suitable in the long run, please enlighten me.
Have I understood correctly? If I arrive on a Non Imm O single entry 90 day visa, can I fly out and back again within the validity period of the visa (with a reentry permit) and be stamped in for another 90 days?
Trying to open bank account at 5 different TRB branches, Here is their response
🔹True digital park
They can’t do it. But I was told to do follow up after 2 weeks as the policy has changed.
🔹Onut Bic C Extra
They asked me about my DTV category “when i said workcation , they said no” but it can be done for those under soft power category. You might need some documents from Muay Thai or Cooking school
🔹Siam Paragon
At first the female staff asked my Visa and Passports. After a few minutes, a man (seems to be higher position) asked my employment contract, i gave it to him then he asked me where do i live. When he knows that i live in the another district, he told me to open at the branch of where i live. So if you live in Pratunam , give it a try
🔹Bangkapi Mall
No , asked for work permit 😅
🔹Headoffice
No , asked for work permit 😅.
DTV and Work permit 😅
So for now i’m looking for an agent who can help me to open TTB / KT or SCB. Your recommendation is appreciated
How many different visa are there for Thailand. I’m thinking of moving out there later this year

I'm on the DTV for Workcation (remote work) but am leaving Thailand today after staying for just 3 weeks. I will be gone for 3 months because I have other stuff to take care of outside Thailand. Could there be any issues with staying for a short time on the DTV, then being away from Thailand for some months, then coming back again to stay a month or two? I imagine for the Soft Power version of the DTV that may seems questionable, but for a remote worker like me it shouldn't be an issue, right?
5 year drivers licenses on a DTV - experiences? I'm wondering if those who've applied for a 5 year Thai driver or motorcycle license (or both at the same time) as a renewal from an existing 5 year one that is expiring OR a 2 year one that should be eligible for an upgrade to a 5 year one, did you get a 5 year license or only a 2 year one?
I know Sefton Hanley got a 5 year license in Chiang Mai while on a DTV.
However, in Pattaya and Rayong, they're only handing out 2 year licenses to DTV holders when they go in for their renewals.
Any experiences from other offices?
I have the feeling Bangkok will renew for 5 years, but this is just a hunch.
I'm a Freelance and I've been living in Thailand since February 2022 with tourist + student visa (so definitely a LOT of stamps on my passport haha)
My last student visa ended on the 14th of December 2024. I'm back in France and plan on applying for a DTV visa to come back to BKK on the 23rd of January
My question: as I was previously on a student visa and not supposed to work in Thailand, how do I explain being a freelance and showing them my company registration/invoices for the last couple of months when applying for the DTV visa? 🫠🫠
Not sure if it's a legitimate question or if my overthinking brain is doing its magic again so I figured I'd ask!
