Hi guys,

Going to step 3, pushing Next button, nothing happens, it doesnt go next page. Anyone else?

Maybe site technical issue…

Im applying from Dubai.

My Experience with DTV (Workstation)

It took me almost two months to get approved in the U.S. The main reason for the delay seemed to be that resubmitted documents are not checked regularly.

However, as soon as I emailed them, they responded and approved my DTV the same day.

So, if you haven't heard back from them in a while—send a follow-up email!

It was in LA

Hi, anyone has experience about this?

If a foreigner entered Thailand using a 60 days tourist visa exemption and already extended the visa for 30 days, but is unable to leave the country due to recently giving birth at Samitivej Hospital, would it be possible for them to apply for an additional visa extension to stay longer? Thank you in advance.

Why does Thailand make it so cumbersome and difficult for foreigners to move to Thailand?? I understand the need to vet people to some degree, but the process just seem very cumbersome and bureauacratic. The entire issue with establishing a bank account, etc.

Does anyone have experience applying from Nepal? Would extremely appreciate some info

How long does it usually take to add children as dependents to DTV? Thank you

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?

Hi all. I looked in my passport and I see I still have an old TM6 stapled inside from when I entered Thailand a couple years ago (btw I been on a work visa, that's why inside Thailand that long). It says Departure Card. When I leave the country to apply for my DTV, am I supposed to complete that card and give it to someone on my way out? Or did they stop that too?
