I'm a British citizen applying for the DTV in Britain, but I don't normally live here. What documents could qualify as proof of residency?

Hello anybody here from Indonesia?

Im currently in Indonesia, and im Indonesian, trying to apply from Jakarta (online)

But i dont know which document to use to prove im currently in my own country (i dont have the stamp that im returning to Indonesia since i lost my old passport)

Please help 🙏🏻

Being dragged of to immigration right now. They said I haven’t provided proof of residency within 24h after arrival to Thailand. Even though I did at airport and at the hotel I stayed in initially and paid for it at both places. Now they say I must pay a fine of 2000-10000b .

Is this correct? Please advise

DTV question: has anyone applied for the dtv from the Uk using the e visa system? What proof of residency did you require and is there any part of the process that required you to go to an embassy?

Also does anyone know if the visa starts when you enter Thailand or when it’s issued?

Thanks in advance

I have a friend that successfully received their DTV visa and used their credit card statement address as proof of residency. Has anyone else tried this or is this up to interpretation? I've only ever heard of people using rental contracts or utility bills.

Good morning everyone. I’m on dtv and luckily have a bank account with Bangkok Bank since 2018. unfortunately my home branch is in a town in isaan and i live in Bangkok now. So i thought i give it a try and just went into a random branch. Of course, they didn’t find DTV on the list but after some calls she said can open just need letter embassy. Does anyone know what this might be

Update a few hours later: I got a call back from a bank employee. She said just show something with a stamp from the embassy with my name on it. She was pretty honest and said bring documents they don’t even ask for. Like driving licenses, rental contracts. After a few minutes of looking at paperwork, they might just open the account. She agreed that their rules are somewhat weird and confusing and I shouldn’t just try again 😂

Update 2: the embassy sent me instructions how to order a Staatsangehörigkeits- und Anmeldebestätigung ( english: proof of citizenship and registration as swiss living in Thailand) from the ministry of foreign affairs online which i ordered now and will receive by post. I will ask them for permission to post it here to show you all as an example

Hi,does anybody know the TM form number please to apply for proof of residency,so I can get a driving license,many thanks.

Hi everyone!

This question is specifically for UK DTV visa holders, as it seems every embassy has its own set of rules.

This is my second attempt to get a DTV visa 😊 (my first try was in Penang this August). I’m currently in Thailand, and due to work, I’ll likely be flying to the UK in the next few days. I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I apply for the DTV visa online through the London embassy within the first or second day after my return to the UK?

1. For proof of residency, I have UK bank statements (personal account), a UK driving license (although it shows an old address), and *settled status* for living in the UK. Will this be an issue?

1. My main concern is proof of funds. My funds are in a WISE business account under my US-based company, where I’m the sole owner. This led to my rejection in Penang, as the account wasn’t in my personal name. How is this handled in the UK? As a freelancer, it’s common to use a business account, and with an LLC, the funds aren’t directly in my name. Despite providing proof of ownership, it wasn’t sufficient in Penang.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

DTV Germany ✅

Applied to the consulate in Frankfurt via evisa.

Submitted bank statement (only the page that shows the balance) and a "freelance portfolio". This was pretty much a regular CV/resume highlighting that my jobs were freelance and remote. Also submitted a "Meldebescheinigung" which is proof of residency but I reckon your ID card (Personalausweis) would work as well.

✅ Got approved in 10 days no questions asked. A breeze!

My work contract is with Philippine. I'm temporarily living in Thailand. Can I apply inside?

Can I apply from any other countries (not from my home county). What do I need for the prove of location?
