This back and forth with the London embassy for this DTV is hard work… they just asked me to provide a e-ticket for future date if possible? So confused. I’ve just put my flight details for the 7th January, I have booked a return flight home yet. I have added my coach’s work permit which isn’t an issue it’s just this other one is the confusion, anyone know what they want ?

DTV - London - application

I was due to fly on 1st January 2026 and applied on the 2nd December 2025 in London. I shared a copy of the 2 hotels I was due to stay in as part of my application. I've since cancelled both hotels as the free cancellation period was coming to an end. Will this affect my DTV application?

I want to do a Thailand visa please

Who know about this

Do you need to show that you’ve had 500K in your account for 3 months before applying for a DTV visa? I’m from the UK. Will my business account suffice?

Hi 👋

For those who applied for the DTV visa from Vietnam —

did anyone apply in HCMC and then travel to another city (Da Nang / Hanoi / etc.) while waiting?

Was it okay, or did they ask for new proof of location?

Thanks!

What is online interview? I applied for DTV from Turkey 2 months ago and i sent all documents. Today i got email for online interview. What they ask at this interview?

Hello - I’m looking at applying for DTV under workation but not sure if I apply as a freelancer or employee.

Im a full stack software engineer and am CEO and director of a start up in Canada, we design proprietary software and do not do business in Thailand.

We received around 500k in funding and I’ve been drawing a salary of 5k per month for the past 8 months. There is only one other full time employee. Do I apply as a freelancer or employee of a company? If I apply as an employee of a company are there additional documents I should add?

Im applying in HCMC

I’m on a retirement visa with the 800,000 in one bank…I have another bank that doesn’t have as much in it.

If my extension comes up for renewal end of June.

How long before the end of June do I have to top up the other bank to 800,000 so I can use that bank for my next renewal.

In other words I want to switch the banks I use for the visa extension renewal going foreward.

Later on I’ll close the first bank.

That’s the idea anyway…..appreciate your insights…Ta.

For 🇬🇧 DTV Holders; if you have your own business (I’m British) but business is American registered. How do you prove 3. Current location (I’m in UK) 5 purpose of visit.

And can I travel out of England after I’ve applied. What is the specific rule on the DTV? Ie; you cannot enter Thailand AT all till you’re approved as an example.

Hey Everyone!

Just a quick update since I was recently approved for the DTV. We arrived through Bangkok without a hitch. The officer who stamped us seemed nice. Didn’t have to show proof of funds or anything like that. Thanks to everyone who’s shared their stories along the way.

***this was for the digital nomad visa.
