Hi everyone. Would love some advice please - on how long the money has to be in the account, for a DTV? I've got enough now, but have only had it in my account for a few days.

I would be wanting to live in Chiang Mai. Currently in Hanoi, but could also apply from my hometown in the UK. Which is the most likely way to get approved?

Also, my unmarried partner (we have a child together), can I sponsor him to get one, too? We only have enough money in account for one person... is it possible to apply myself (with our child as dependent) and then to sponsor him to get one after?

hi, when applying for spouse visa for dtv, does the money need to be int he name of the spouse or the name of the sponser ( current dtv visa holder?)

Hello, I've seen a conflict of answer to this.... do dependants of the main DTV visa holder (my children, 9 and 7yrs) need the £11k in a bank account aswell?

They technically are obtaining a dtv visa aswell and that is one of the requirements to have that amount of money but, they are dependant on me?

Has anyone been through the process of getting this visa with children?

Thanks for any advice on this.

I see a lot of posts about people wanting to GO to Thailand but how about getting visa s from Thailand to other countries. It’s been very difficult to get gf from Thailand to USA. 4x. Still NO

Hey everyone! 👋

Has anyone here applied for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) from Brussels or Paris? I’d really appreciate some insight.

I meet all the main requirements except that I don’t yet have the 500,000 THB seasoned for 6 months. My apartment sale finalizes next week, and once that’s done I’ll have well over 500,000 THB in my account. My monthly income is solid, and my parents are also willing to include a sponsorship letter with an account showing more than the required amount.

I plan to include my professional portfolio, social media presence, and music royalty income statements as proof of my ongoing work and financial stability. I also have a long-term condo lease in Bangkok (I stayed about 5 months this year on a tourist visa), which I’ll attach as supporting evidence.

👉 Questions:

* How long does it usually take to get the visa approved?

* Would you recommend applying through Brussels or Paris?

* And does anyone know if they’re getting stricter about the 6-month fund requirement?

I’m hoping to apply as soon as possible before any potential policy changes. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice or recent experiences! 🙏

I have 300,000THB in my bank and I am doing the other 200,000 THB letter of sponsorship from my mum!

Anyone got any tips? Anything in particular to say? I’ve asked chat GBT to help me write a letter and I’ve got her bank statement and the letter is worded well and is formal

It’s got way more than 300,000 in it so hoping we won’t have any issues or delays 😅 I’ve not spoken to anyone who has done a sponsorship letter

Can my girlfriend (not married) get a soft-power DTV if I have 500k THB on my bank account but not on her bank account?

UPDATE: we've had to go sponsor route. Even more document requirements.

Does anyone know time frame you have to upload the additional documents requested? It will take me 2 weeks to get one of the docs. Thank you!

If you fly out of Thailand before your non-O visa expires (based on husband's non-b visa) then enter again as a tourist. Would you be able to apply for a new non-o visa through a new sponsor (based on mother's non-b visa) without the cancellation stamp in your passport from your previous sponsor? Fyi, sponsors visa are from different immigration offices.

Report from Manila. Successful DTV application.

This is quite an unusual application I guess so thought to share.

I got my DTV from London about a month ago, I'm a UK citizen. My partner is from Philippines, she has just been granted a DTV too, application in Manila.

We are not married, and she has not got the funds in her account. I wrote a sponsorship letter and provided proof of our relationship (3 years, lots of photographs and history of communication). Both on soft power (cooking class in Chiang Mai), also sent lots of evidence of my time in Philippines (passport stamps), and copies of my finances.

Approved in 6 working days after request for some secondary info (not complicated).

Any questions then fire away. I'm happy to answer anything if it will help other people.
