Hi all.

I need some assistance in applying for a DTV visa.

Me and my husband is from S.A and he work in Thailand as a teacher.

I have a Ed visa study Thai but it ends now and I have to get another visa.

He's school don't assist with a letter to follow him on Non O Visa and I know to run borders with a tourist visa will also just be temp and short term so I was looking into a DTV visa.

I applied for Preply but not active yet but like to start to working online with DTV visa

My question is.. If I don't have a proof of income now will Thai Immigrations approve my registration?

I also notice they request a registred buss documents.Will Preply approved assist on application?

I notice the amout of 600 000 THB saving in 6 months bank statements and its not the problem.Only my recent income and registration.

Any advise will be so much appreciated.

Thank you🧘‍♀️

Hi! What happens to your DTV visa if you get laid off from your job?

My work has been heavily financially impacted by the tariff changes. What happens to your 5 year DTV visa if you lose your job during that time? It’s getting harder to find remote work.

Has anyone ever needed to prove how they would support themselves in Thailand beyond the bank statement? I'm preparing for such a scenario in case they ask since I don't have any income right now.

Got my DTV approved 😆 5 years stress free now which feels great after problems with other agencies !

Does anyone know how the sponsorship letter for DTV works? I have a remote job but not the 500k THB at the moment, would it help?

Dear Friends,

I am supreme court lawyer, a remote consultant, content creator on tiktok, facebook and youtube. Only my tikok followers are almost 200K and facebook is about to cross 100K. I recently visited thailand and my revenue was much better than my home country Pakistan.

I have applied for DTV with all documents and financials etc with screenshots of my social media but since 20th April, 2025 there is no response whatsoever. My plan was to visit on 25th May and up till now documents check is only shown on the portal.

Shall i wait and cancel my upcoming plans?

If I'm teaching online what visa do I apply for ?

Today I arrived at BKK airport, and something weird happened with the immigration officer.

So, I got my DTV from Manila a few days ago, and before traveling to Manila to apply, I stayed in Thailand for the allowed duration of 60 days visa free, traveled to PH for 17 days and came back.

The conversation with IO went like this:

I showed him the DTV and my passport, and he asked a couple questions:

- What do you do in Thailand? just travel and explore places.

- What do you do for work? I’m a software engineer, I build websites (apparently he didn’t understand what that is) but I work for foreign clients from the US.

- Sorry I can’t allow you in.

- Why?

- Because you work.

- But I have the DTV and I don’t work for Thai clients, I work for foreign clients.

- I know, but I can’t allow you in. How old are you?

- Where are you from?

- Morocco

- How old are you?

- I’m 25

- Where you staying, Bangkok?

- Yes, for a couple weeks and then Chiang Mai.

He stamped my passport with 180 days duration.

All this happened while we both were smiling at each other. So I don’t really know if he was serious and then changed his mind or if he was just kidding with me 🙂.

P.S. He didn’t even ask for the TDAC

P.S. I flew Business Class

I post again.

I applied DTV Visa for Workcation in Tokyo embassy. And my visa was approved but my visa type was Tourist TR visa for 6 months

I think Tokyo embassy is very strict so you should not apply in Tokyo.

And I want to ask someone

Can I stay in Thailand for this period without immigration with this tourist visa ? or do I have to leave Thailand in every 60 days ?

Please someone tell me 🙇

Hello, I am a currently employed remote worker. I have applied for DTV from the US. I have a salary of around $70k yearly. Do I have to have 17,000 in savings or will 6 months of pay stubs and W2 suffice as proof? I watched a couple of YouTubers interviewing Naruchai Ninnad with Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I thought your monthly salary would be proof of financial requirements. Am I wrong?
