So a family applying for the DTV visa if both parents work remotly and married is it better to get two main DVT and a child dependent or one DVT with a spouse and child dependent visas. Do all applicants need access to the 500,000 THB in both cases or would we just need 500,000 THB between the three of us making it better to apply for the latter.

APPROVED - Los Angeles, 5 hours. I didn’t believe it could happen, but it happened last week. I read dozens reports of 30+ days, and saw one or two of <48 hours. My goal was to try to get this right on the first run.

This group helped me a lot so I wanted to add more info. Context - im an entrepreneur with business partners so it was a little bit more complex, but spent a good 5 hours getting everything properly in order. Here’s what I provided for the Workation DTV:

* Passport biodata

* Drivers license

* 3 months of bank statements with 6 figures of funds, with name and address matching license

* Cover letter on company letterhead explaining who I am, my company, explaining that I can work remotely, and confirming that I will not to any work in Thailand for outside companies or within the Thai labor market

* company registration documents (articles of organization)

* documents proving my ownership in this business

* one page visual portfolio of my company

* my LinkedIn profile one pager image

I've been coming to Thailand for 2 or 3 weeks holiday each year for more than 20 years - I run my own business back in Australia so always need to work a few hours each day when I'm here. I have downsized my business significantly so it can be managed remotely and now only work up to 10 hours per week. I intend spending much more time in Thailand in the coming years so am looking at DTV. With showing 500kTHB is it acceptable to show that (more than) in share holdings or does it have to be a bank account?

Also, is it OK to have a combination of income and bank account similar to what can be done with retirement visa? Thanks all for any advice.

We're considering the DTV or education visa. Or tourist re entry and would love some advice.

My partner works remotely as well as in person in Australia

We have a 2.5yo and I don't "work".

Together 15 years but not married.

We have a 12 month lease, have brought a car and bike, have a tm30 and letter from immigration proving our residence (needed it to buy the car in our name)

A couple of questions:

- For sponsorship is defacto relationships considered or need to be married?

- if he will be flying too and from australia every month or so for work will tourist re-entry suffice or is that limited to number of times per year

- will coming too and from be an issue if he does receive the dtv visa?

We have someone in thailand helping us recommending education visa for myself and my daughter and dtv for him but would love others experiences.

Thank you 🫶

Soft power activity that's getting approved?

I was all set to apply for my DTV, got the money in the bank and a remote job, however I just realised that my job needs to be in my own country, which it's not. I could set up a Ltd company in my own country an pay myself, but that involves waiting another 3 months, so, I'm thinking of applying with a soft power course, but I've seen a few people get rejected on soft power, so which activities are getting approved?

Does anyone know if I can apply for DTV with my Forex/share market trading?

In reality does it actually matter under what category you apply? Workation or Soft Power? The actual visa is exactly the same.

Hi group,

I got approved, thank you for the information here!!

I had been ROMing this group since last year, but was really nervous about applying until I was approved. 😅

I’d like to share my experience as an example.

📍 Embassy: Hanoi (Vietnam)

🗂️ Category: Workcation

⏱️ Timeline:

* Submitted: 18th June Wed (e-mail: 8:27 AM）

* Approved: 24th June Tue (e-mail: 1:25 PM)

There was no request for additional documents.

📁Document:

Cover letter and portfolio

I included:

* Upwork documents (certificate of earnings + profile screenshot)

* Screenshots of my blog and creations (including LINE stickers)

* A remote-work freelance service agreement from a Japanese client

My Upwork earnings were about 10k USD (last July ~ this June), I didn’t include documents for my other income sources.

Writing an English cover letter was a bit tough for me as a Japanese, we are not familiar with it 😅

I included the following in my cover letter; summary of my freelance work, my purpose for staying in Thailand, a list of portfolio items (starting on the next page)

Document Indicating Current Location

* Hotel reservation documents (from OTC)

* Passport stamp showing entry to Vietnam

Financial Evidence

* I used Wise screenshot and statements (in USD and JPY, mixed)

* 6 months of records

* I was gradually saving up money, reached 500kTHB 1 month before I applied

I hope this helps 😃

Hi.

2 questions:

1. What do I need to show for U.S. business?

2. Anyone applied in Taiwan?

A couple of questions someone here could hopefully help with.

1) If I apply based on soft power, am I allowed to work remotely? If not, would you need to exit Thailand, go to an embassy and apply for a new DTV based on workcation?

2) For soft power, e.g. muay thai classes, do you need to have proof of being enrolled in a new class if entering via airport after the first course has ended?

Sorry I tried searching this group but was not able to find answers to these questions. Thank you.
