I’m an Iranian passport holder currently in Thailand. Do you have any recommendations for neighboring countries where I can apply for the DTV visa? I haven’t found many success stories about applying here. Thank you 🙏

Hello,

We submitted a DTV application for my partner in Jakarta 10 days ago, but we haven’t received any update yet. Since I need to apply after her and we are planning to travel to Thailand within a week. Is there anything we can do to speed up the process?

Thank you very much for your help

Can I tavel to Thailand while my Retirement Non O visa is in process in my country of residence?

Hi everyone 👋

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience with the DTV visa processing in Spain and we are using Issa compass as an agency.

My partner (Spanish) submitted all required documents for his DTV visa on August 12th, but we still haven’t received any update. We already had to move our flight once because the process has been taking longer than we thought and now we’re supposed to leave Spain on september 16th

Any tips or shared experiences would be super helpful 🙏 Thank you in advance!

Looks like Jakarta has speeded up again. Was 14 days wait last month but our applicants getting approved in 4 -6 days the last few weeks

Is it faster processing through Jakarta or HCMC? anyone recently do it?

Good evening, dear expats in Thailand.

I’m seeking some advice regarding the Digital Nomad (DTV) visa. I’ve been living in Thailand for almost 11 years, but recently I canceled my work visa and switched back to a tourist visa.

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa in September, but I’m not sure where I can submit the application, since I’m already in Thailand.

As a Filipino citizen, which country would be the easiest or most convenient for me to apply from? I also have a Thai bank account and plan to use it for the required bank statement.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I should have included this in my previous question about the visa processing timeline. When I completed the application, I accidentally input the wrong end date. I should have used the same date as my health insurance expiration, but I wasn't aware of this requirement and instead wrote an end date approximately 360 days from my planned arrival date.

My insurance expires about 2 weeks before the one-year anniversary of my arrival.

When I contact the consulate about their anticipated visa completion date, should I also correct this information? They'll likely discover the discrepancy during processing anyway.

I applied for the DTV in Hanoi about a week ago. Can I travel to central Vietnam (which is linked to HCMC embassy, not Hanoi) while I wait for the visa to be processed, or do I have to stay around Hanoi?

Hi!

I’m waiting for my DTV visa to be processed in Vietnam.

Can I travel back to Thailand during this time and then return to Vietnam later for the interview?

I’ve already entered Thailand twice with a Visa on Arrival — will that be a problem?

Thanks for any help!
