Just came through BKK on the DTV. UK passport and DTV was issued in London last November. Issued under remote work as I work for a UK company. This was my 10th DTV stamp and I’ve never been asked for proof of anything on entry. I have all the documents I used to apply in a folder on my laptop just incase but haven’t ever had anything more than a smile, stamp and thank you.

Just cos I know there have been mixed reports lately!

Do you get called in for an Interview in Hanoi or is it all online? UK passport holder

NOTE :For the attention of UK passport holders at London office only

Thanks

Any uk passport holder applied for the DTV through London office .?

What is needed to prove your in the uk as when I return I won’t get stamped in .

Whats peoples feelings n dealing with the London office ,,?

Has anyone in the 65 age group applied ?

Did they suggest go for the retirement ?

I’m in Houston for some medical treatment in September and I could apply for my dtv from there. I have a bank account which could show a usd balance so that wouldn’t be a problem.

Can anyone comment on if the process is easy or difficult and how long it would take? Maybe US in general as a foreigner?

Will it just be easier to wait and travel to another Asian country?

I’m on a UK passport. I could even travel back to the UK in between and apply from there. Thank you

Do we need visas for a 2 week holiday, coming from UK?

Has anyone arrived from the UK this month and had problems because they did not have a VISA because we have an automatic 60 day visa for UK passport holders?

There so much contridictory information including on the Thai Government website.

Cheers.

Hi, I am a UK passport holder with DTV issued October 2024 from the London Embassy.

I have just renewed my UK passport. I'm travelling into Thailand again in December 2025.

What do I need to do regarding the new passport number, when I get to immigration as the DTV document states old passport details?

Or is there something I should do before I travel?

Thank you in advance for your help.

DTV approved in Cambodia. Huge thanks to everyone in this group for sharing their experiences.

I have a UK passport, applied as a freelancer (I'm a freelance writer working for UK and US companies) and filed my e-visa application on Friday 20th December, to the Phnom Penh embassy while staying in Siem Reap. Received my approved DTV on Wednesday 1st January. Pretty impressed, they must've been working through the holidays.

My application included:

Proof of location: Sent my Booking for the hotel in Siem Reap, this initial booking was only for five days. (Stayed at VPlus Hotel on Taphul Road, highly recommend them, super nice / efficient / great wifi / very affordable.)

Proof of funds: Sent in 6 months of bank statements for this section. Just used my savings account statements, there's not a lot of action there.

Proof of work etc: I wrote a detailed cover letter on what I do, who I work for, why I had an education visa last year and why I am swapping visa type now, why I love visiting Thailand and then outlined the documents to follow so it was all really comprehensive.

I then included a letter from my main client on their headed company paper which said how long I've worked for the company and how I can do my job from anywhere in the world. Following that I added a few pages of my work portfolio. Then most of my contracts from different clients through 2024. This all came to 52 pages in total.

I used ilovepdf to merge and compress everything to the right size, so I could upload them. Thanks to a previous poster James for sharing this tip. It's free and easy to use.

The next working day after my application, the embassy asked for my entry stamp into Cambodia to be uploaded, so I photographed that page of my passport and filed it immediately on Monday 23rd December. That's the only additional evidence they asked for at all.

Siem Reap was a brilliant place to wait it out. It's a slow paced little city. Loads of good cafes to work in. Obviously bundles of cultural stuff to do. I was lucky to have two friends with me who also did their DTV applications at the same time (US passport holders, freelance, filed the day before me, and received their approved visas the day before me also) so it felt less nerve wracking. Happy New Year all!

Dtv uk holders what best options to go for

Hi all

We are going to Koh Lipe from Langkawi in December, can we get the new 60 day stamp on arrival as we intend to Island hop from tjere. We went a couple of years ago but could only get the 15 day visa.
