DTV - London evisa approved - workcation

Relatively easy with the right docs.

Provided:

Letter from employer addressed to the Thai Embassy in London saying I have permission to work in Thailand.

Scan of Drivers license (the card)for proof of address.

Bank statement showing about £13,000 - I asked my bank to send me a statement for just a few days so it did not contain any transactions.

Proof of visa payment

Extra document was requested about 24 hours after the initial application- contract of employment.

After submitting the requested document, the visa was approved on a Sunday 48 hours later.

Only slightly worrying part of the process was that when I first went to pay for the visa, the system sent me some weird error message and I couldn’t pay. To solve the issue , I just completed the forms again and on the 2nd attempt, the payment portal worked.

All my funds are in my LLC bank account (I own 100% of it). The name of the account is "Business Name LLC." If I submit this as proof of funds will I be denied since it's not showing my name? I also have a coinbase account with enough funds but I read they don't really accept that? Applying from the US as a remote worker if that matters.

Looking for advice on applying for DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) without third-party services

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would love to hear from those who successfully applied through the Thai Embassy in Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam without using third-party visa services.

Here’s my situation:

I have a remote 6-month contract with a Singapore-based company, and the contract will likely be extended in the future.

My supervisor has agreed to assist me with the 500,000 THB proof of funds requirement.

I’ve reviewed the official guidelines and understand the document requirements, but I’m hoping to learn from real experiences about:

1. The process and challenges of applying directly at these embassies.

2. How long the processing time took for you.

3. Any tips or specific embassy policies (e.g., differences between Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam).

4. Any additional documents or details that embassies asked for during your application.

If you’ve gone through this process, I’d greatly appreciate sharing your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys any advice most appreciated, I am going to apply for DTV visa however I am company director in uk, they ask for funds in account to show i think 500k bhat can I use my business account as proof of funds in bank ? And use this as showing dividends into my personal account ?

During Immigration (for tourism purpose), do we need to carry 20,000 THB cash per person? Would credit card be a sufficient proof for funds?

Hi All,

Has anyone from UK succesfully applied for the DTV at the embassy?

If so, what proof was required for the proof of funds in the account? Thinking of possibly lending the 500,000 and putting in my account for the application until it is successful. (I have a remote job with regular income so will afford to live but just dont have that amount of savings just sitting there)

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone.

I just had my DTV approved in 24 hours from application in the Hong Kong Thai Embassy. I went the soft power route (Muay Thai Class)

I provided:

- Passport

- Recent Picture

- Proof of being in Hong Kong (Landing Visitor Visa Picture)

- Proof of funds (Over 500,000 THB in a single account, 3 months of statements)

- Invitation letter from the Muay Thai School - Muay Thai Fever, 6 months course for 20,000 Baht with proof of payment. Special thanks to Derry at Muay Thai Fever for being extremely responsive via emails.

I applied Tuesday at 3:00PM through the Thai E-Visa portal.

I received my DTV today at 3:30PM by mail with no further questions.

I would like to thank this group for all the help. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Hello everyone! I'm planning to fly to Jakarta on Sunday to apply for the DTV Visa. I have a question: has anyone here ever used a Wise account statement as a bank statement for this purpose?

Did you transfer the required amount to a THB account to meet the 500,000 THB proof requirement? I usually use a Euro account for my salary, which is also paid in Euros, but I thought it might be easier to transfer it to a THB account and use that for proof.

Would love to hear any experiences or advice. Thank you! 🙏🏼😬

I am debating what way I should submit my application.

Option 1: dependant visa, my husband already got his DTV approved, we have funds in both our bank account.

Potential probelm: we are both canadians, he is polish and we have a polish marriage certificate which stated we are married in Mexico (destination wedding), it is translated and notarized in Canada, we do not have it legalized by poland officials. I consulted an agent before and they said it's required to be legalized which we won't be able to do as we are not in poland.

Option 2: soft power medical, I already have a letter from bangkok hospital for this purpose.

Potential problem: my fund in my bank account had only been in my bank since early September, would that be enough? I can provide other proof of funds in my investment accounts for more than 6 months.

Or would it work if i apply for dependent visa with a medical appointment letter and my current bank statement as supporting ? Or visa versa (apply soft power medical and attach my husband's dtv as extra supporting ? )

I am in hong kong now applying online via hong kong thai embassy (hong kong permanent resident) If that matters.

Thanks a lot for any input in advance.

I had my DTV approved from Laos Vientiane Embassy under workation category. If you are going to apply yours at the same place and have any questions, I'm happy to help out 😊
