Hello everyone,

I’m currently in Thailand and working remotely in the field of web development (website creation and digital services). My work is entirely online.

I’ve heard about the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) and I’m wondering if it would be a suitable option for someone in my situation, a remote worker.

Has anyone here applied for it recently? What are the pros and cons, and is it worth considering compared to other visa options?

Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looks like might be getting a job where I can work from my laptop and not go to the office ever, I want to move to Thailand (have British passport). Am not yet 50, is there any visa I can do this with?

I have a UK passport but living and working in Spain, I finish work around mid October and heading to Thailand November 11th

Would it be easier and faster to apply from Spain or from the UK when I go back middle of October?

I’ll be applying for the workcation DTV as I work remotely online November-May

What proof do you have to provide for the workcation one with online work?

Do you have to go for an interview? Or is it all done online with the application?

Any advice or help would be much appreciated, thank you 😇🙏

Need dtv visa advice:

My digital nomad one got rejected. As soon as I uploaded my signed employment document I got rejected with no reason why.

Attached is the email requesting document.

Want to reapply to try again but thinking of doing soft power. Should I reapply soft power in a different embassy or can I try to do Jakarta again?

Wondering if that would raise questions if I change from “workcation” to “soft power”

Hi folks! How are you? I would have a rather specific question for you, please (bottoms up your pina colada before venturing any further would be my suggestion) :

I'm sure it's going to feel as good a breeze of renewal as it feels for me, but hey, I want to work remotely as a digital nomad (self-employed, offering counselling services online, not working for any company) in Thailand.

I have not started my business yet and spent the last many months travelling, so my only asset is savings, a bit of education and a plan. I have the proper education/diploma and realistic funds, above the minimum required to have to apply for DTV in my country.

Did anybody in a similar situation (only having a proper budget, education and business plan to show the Ambassy) apply for DTV among this group?

If so, did you miserably fail or whimsically succeed? Also, may you share any of the following with me, please? Suggestions, fair concerns, comments on what went wrong or could have been done better, gibe, what were the extra admin steps to achieve this goal, murder*us looks, etc., please?

Thanks a whole bunch for reading the words of this lost lamb. May the good vibes of travels chase you whenever, wherever (we're meant to be together) you go. :)

Seeking advice please. Does your employment contract need to state ‘remote’ work for a DTV visa or would ‘home based’ suffice?

Hello everyone My visa results….Your visa application has been cancelled. As the applicant are working full-time at the governmental organisation, neither the freelancer nor remote worker, the applicant could not apply for this type of visa.

I am working at government as an engineer and ı trade in crypto and turkish stocks also.ı added everything about crypto accounts also .if ı get this dtv visa ı will quit job and only trade stocks…but they don’t accept what can ı do now ?

Hi, I meet the age and financial requirements for Non-O and DTV. As I plan to do some remote work I think the DTV is better for me. I've not started the remote work yet so I will be applying for the DTV by going the soft power route and taking a cooking course as I love Thai food and cooking! I read a post somewhere that the Embassy required them to show a profile. I do not have this and wondered if anyone has recently successfully applied from London Embassy without needing to show prior proof of professional cooking skills? Also can you swap between the soft power options? Eg start with cooking, later have some medical appointments when returning to Thailand?

I’m debating whether to do soft power for cooking for my dtv or workcation since I work remotely but I’m not sure if my offer letter or employment contract specifically states that they don’t mind where I work but it does state that it’s a remote position. I could ask them for one but asking them to do anything in a timely manner is a joke. The offer letter/contract does specifically state I only have to be local for equipment pickup not sure if that matters. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I also plan to get my 15 year old daughter a dependent dtv visa and I’m assuming I’ll wait until I’m approved then submit my approval with the same bank statements i am using along with her passport and passport photos. Will my drivers license, her learners permit, and a utility bill be enough for proof of address? I’m not sure if I’ll apply here in the US or wait until I go to Hanoi.

What about a REMOTE WORKER DTV when you Just start your own company, and don’t have any clients history yet.

Any experiences.?
