What are the chances of a 20 year old being eligible for the DTV? I understand that’s the minimum age, but I doubt they are going to accept it? Like how can a typical 20 year old have 500,000 Baht in his personal bank? Even if I do, do they question the source? Or should I just contact an agent or go try the soft power route?

Are those who get the DTV as a dependent allowed to work remotely just like the person who got a DTV for a workation and does the person who already got their DTV have to prove they can financially support the dependent?

Hello,

I am hoping to plan a move to thailand in 2025, I have a remote job for which I net over 3000cad/month.

I dont have the saving requirements that I saw online. Is it possible to get a long term visa without having those savings I saw online?

Thanks,

Guys regarding the DTV extension after 6 months.

Do i need to go back to my home country? My remote job is in my home country but i do not wish to return.

Any country out of thailand is fine? Also can i go out and in via land border? Like cambodia lao and so on. Or must it be via flight?

Will they ask again for bank statement, prove of income and job letters?

First post on here ,

Iam a sole trader doing AC in the UK, can I use my tax return as proof of the Employment part of the requirements? For the DTV visa , I will be doing 6 months thai then back to the UK for 6 months. Tia.

Hi guys. I'm 45, from the UK and currently on a marriage visa. Thing is every year lots of paperwork and someone from immigration coming to the house and taking pictures. Was thinking a trip to say Vietnam, soft power Muay Thai option and get the DTV visa. Then read you can't get the DTV if you already have a visa. This true? If so how would I go about this please?

So I have been in Thailand for the past few months on a standard tourist visa and am now going to apply for the dtv.

The only problem is that I have been doing some remote work during this time… and in order to get the dtv I need to send contracts of employment to prove I have been working… while my passport stamps indicate I have been in Thailand on a tourist visa….

💀💀💀

Will this be an issue or is it all forgive and forget now I am trying to do it the correct way 😅?

Somebody please let me know if they have expirienced this !

Apologies as I’m sure this will have been asked before.. so I’m going to apply for a DTV next year .. I run a small IT business and most of our work is remote.. so will be able to perform duties from Thailand …

Regarding spending the 6 months in Thailand.. when that ends, Is it possible for example to fly out of the country for a month.. and then return.. and upon landing back in Thailand does a new 6 month period start? ..or is it 6 months in Thailand followed by 6 months out of Thailand?

Thanks for any advice 🙌

Hi All,

For those who applied for the Workcation remote work, did the company receive any calls or emails from the Thai embassy confirming your remote work?

Thank you!
