My DTV has been approved in Hanoi. UK citizen applying for a work cation as got a remote job.

Applied really early Thursday morning as didn’t get into Hanoi until 7pm so got all my docs together and applied at 1:30am.

Went into waiting approval Friday and got accepted today at 5pm.

I got all my information from this page

I fly to Thailand tomorrow

Thanks so much everyone

As a UK citizen, can I enter Thailand on the 60-day visa exemption and convert to a retirement visa in-country, or must I arrive with a Non-O visa obtained in the UK?

Just returned to Phuket airport after 1 week holiday to Japan on DTV visa…(UK citizen)

It’s about my 5th re entry

The only thing which changed this time, is that they asked to see the actual Visa on my phone with QR code

No asking of funds or anything like that or more questions this time….

I will be travelling to Thailand on January 7th 2026 for 3 weeks. I was in thailand for 2 weeks in April with a brief visit to Vietnam then back to Thailand for 4 days. Do you think i need a visa. Im a uk citizen with uk passport

Quick question: I’m a UK citizen on a remote working contract, I have all of the required documents to apply for a DTV Workation visa, but I’ve only had the required money in my bank account for about 1 month. I’ve seen comments from people saying it should be three months, but I’ve not been able to locate any official information regarding this. I’m wondering if anyone from the UK has successfully obtained a DTV visa recently by showing less than 3 months bank statements?

Have many UK citizens applying for DTV through London Embassy been asked for tax returns when applying as a freelancer?

Uk Visa-exempt entry then DTV

Hi all!

I am flying to Thailand in January from UK

I am a VA and have one signed client… I want to have at least 3 clients before applying for my DTV so I have a stronger case built.

so coming up with a plan B just in case…

Is it common to for people on the

60days entry and then fly out to apply for my DTV!?

OR is this going to affect my visa getting approved

Be kind x

Good morning. I wonder if someone can give me a bit of advice. I’m a UK citizen divorced ,however I’m in a relationship with a Thai lady. She lives and works in the UK, which is where I met her four years ago .

I’m retired She still works and we both live together. she owns a house two hours drive north of Bangkok eventually she wants to go back to Thailand permanently with me to follow her. We have both discussed about getting married here in the UK, but I have now talked about getting married in Thailand.

The information I want is what kind of documentation do I require in order to get married in Thailand and where to obtain it if anyone out there that can offer me assistance and advice, I would be most grateful.

Question to United Kingdom citizens who have already applied for a DTV visa

I’ve got an issue with the application form. When I fill in the home address, I choose United Kingdom as the country, and in the “City” section the website asks me to choose between England, Scotland, Wales, etc. — I can’t just type my city name there. So I select “England.” But then, when I finish the application form and get to the point where I’m ready to click the PROCEED TO PAYMENT button, I check the application form preview, and the “City” section is empty.

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.
