DTV approved from Yangon.

Along with passport and recent photo, I submitted only a screenshot of my bank balance and my 2 year remote work contract from a company in Myanmar.

emailed to come in for interview 4 days later.

I was way over prepared for the interview with many months of bank statements, visa history in Myanmar, photos of me at work, website, copies of my degrees....

Interview lasted about 3 minutes. They had about 20 people report at the same time and you had to take a queue number and wait. They asked me how long I would be in Thailand, (I'm not sure, but at least 90 days) and would I do any work in Thailand other than remote work (No). That was it.

Approval notice within the hour.

It was the same day the notice came from Yangon that they were not going to issue any further tourist visas. The company that my contract is from anticipates having trouble in the future with business visa as well. So this post maybe isn't that useful for this group. I couldn't find much info about applying in Yangon when I was researching in anticipation of my application, so I thought I would just record my experience.

How do you go about getting An O visa when you’re back in the uk.

I will get non-o retirement visa when I get to Bangkok

Is Office at IT square the correct office?

Before giving you the key points on obtaining my DTV Muay Thai visa, I would like to thank this wonderful community for providing us with all the necessary information.

Key points:

I applied for my visa in Hanoi

I found a Muay Thai club in Koh Samui

I had part of the 500,000 baht in cryptocurrency, and it wasn't a problem (contrary to what I had read on this group, in HCMC)

I provided my bank statements (for the last 3 months) in French

I received it in a week (from Monday evening to the following Monday afternoon)

I then had it printed in A5 format and laminated, I presented it at the airport, and my passport was stamped for 180 days

There you go! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions 😉

Hey, I’m planning to apply soon for DTV as a remote worker. I just got a new job at a new employer with a fully remote contract starting soon.

Is there generally a certain minimum amount of time/tenure you need to be actively employed on your current contract for DTV application? How much time on your current contract is needed for remote worker DTV application?

Received our dependent DTV’s today for myself and 2 kids (Under wife’s Soft Power).

Approved no questions asked in Hanoi.

I would like to thank all the assistance I had from the search button inside this group. I won’t bother going into details of how we able to all get approved first touch, as nobody will read it.

But feel free to ask questions. 

Hey all.. been ‘travelling’ around Thailand for the past few months. Now got to a point where I’ve realised it’s somewhere I’d settle for the short-medium term.

Work freelance for multiple clients (some UK based, Swiss, UAE). Income over £2500/month - can get the 500,000 baht ‘savings’ for the DTV visa.

Has anyone tried applying for this without an agent? I’m looking for potential blockers that one may not be aware of without advice.

I have invoices, can get letters from my clients confirming employment - I can showcase work.

The only thing I don’t have is UK tax returns as I have been outside of the UK for some time ‘travelling’.

Could this void the application? How many months of bank statements have people put through?

I have done research on all of the above, and have answers, but I’d also like to collect some first-hand experiences if anyone has applied for the DTV in the past year without a visa agent.

(Or knows anyone who has…)

Enjoy your week!

EDITED: P.S. my husband, who as stated below,, already has his Non-b and a registered business in Thailand, and will be my sponsor. My remote work is commission based.

To obtain a DTV visa, there is the 500,000 thb required, some people stipulate that 30 days are accepted while others stipulate 3 months are needed.

The 500,000 thb is not a problem, however, there is also the "letter of sponsorship" option. Has anyone applied with the letter of sponsorship?

My husband has a Non-B with work permit and registered business, and I work remotely for a company in South Africa.

Initially we were going to go the Non-O dependent visa route, but due to the remote work I'd actually prefer the DTV (can't work on Non-O obviously).

I'm currently in Thailand on a 60-day visa exempt and realize I would need to apply from outside of Thailand.

My ultimate would be to find employment over here and also just go the Non-B route, but it's a bit tougher than expected because I unfortunately don't hold a degree.

Thank you, and looking forward to receiving positive and helpful comments.

Got my DTV approved from Kuala Lumpur Embassy. If any questions, do let me know.

Regards

Do you have to be in Thailand to get your DTV? I’m in the US now and want to get it.
