I’m currently doing crypto full-time. Is there a way for me to apply for DTV (Thailand)?

DTV Jakarta approved - Remote worker.

After researching all the options, Jakarta seemed by far the simplest and most friendly.

Gave them my application, work letter, Jakarta hotel confirmation, photos, passport, bank statements, and the fee (5,600,000 Rupiah, cash only).

They started glanced at the documents, mostly just verifying the info on the application and quickly started writing up my receipt for pickup, no questions asked. Took maybe 5 min.

The clerk didn’t look at my other passport stamps. Maybe the person who processed it did but they didn’t care about two past EDs (last ED extension was canceled properly but I doubt they would have cared if it wasn’t).

Bank statements had well over the required amount in a savings account for about 3 months. Also included an account information letter that stated the balance, account type, owner but I doubt I needed it. The statements had only had a handful of deposits and interest deposits, none of this “a lot of transactions in and out” that some have been asked for in Laos, Taiwan, and elsewhere. Although I suspect that’s for people applying as a freelancer or otherwise owning their own business.

Work letter had the company seal and signed by a manager. They were fine with a color scan and print, didn’t notice or care that it wasn’t the original which is helpful in not having to have a physical letter sent from overseas.

All the staff the were nice, polite, and fast.

Got there 30 min early and was the first one, another 15 or so quickly showed up after. Was surprised it wasn’t more busy as the day before they were closed for a holiday.

Only annoyance was getting the cash for the visa. Schwab ATM card wouldn’t work at three different machines (2 in the airport, 1 in my hotel). The bank said it was an issue with the machines not approving and not an issue with them or Visa.

I later found people online saying only 2-3 banks would accept Schwab cards there, but I didn’t have time to go hunting down more.

I used a backup card and got hit with about 9% in fee.

The ATMs only dispense up to 25 bills. Some have 50k notes, others 100k. I only had the 50k ones around so it took 5 transactions and I had over 110 bills stuffed in my pockets and wallet. If I knew this I’d have brought a bag to carry it all back.

IO in BKK mentioned he hadn’t seen many DTVs and wasn’t sure what would be involved with the extension. Guess we’ll see what they make up at the last minute.

Indonesia will be on eVisa sometime next month. If you’re looking to get this visa in the next few weeks and want to apply near Thailand, I wouldn’t bother with anywhere else unless you have to.

DTV Approved from the Embassy in Los Angeles:

Applied on August 27

Approved on Sept. 19

Things I included:

*A cover letter stating my remote work, reason for wanting visa, and not only the documents I was including, but other documents I could provide if asked (such as tax documents, full portfolio, my employee contract, etc.)

*Screenshot of bank account with current balance of needed funds and my name

*Other recent paystubs showing continual income

*A Remote Work Contract letter that I drafted and had my employer sign, stating my release to work remote and my role & responsibilities working remote.

Hope this helps! Going to apply for my husband and daughter now.

Annnnnd I obtained my visa **🎉

Location:

**Ankara, Turkiye

Process:

It was very easy, approved next day. There is no e-visa system, you need to apply to the Embassy by yourself. No queue, pretty quiet place. The clerk is calm and helpful.

**Type:

**Workcation (Im an employee of a company)

Docs:

All the regular documents

6 months payslip

Company docs (authorized signatures list, and all docs you can collect)

A letter from my company indicates I can work remotely

(All docs must be stamp by company and signature)

The bank statement should be 6 months old but I gave it for 2 months. They grumbled but still accepted. They said it was at the diplomat's discretion.

If citizens of other countries are going to apply here, I recommend that non-English documents be translated into English by a certified translator.

Good luck 🤞Now, I can mute the group notifications 😆

Hi All!

I have a child and girlfriend living in Thailand and I'm currently looking at suitable visa types. My job makes things a little trickier as I work outside of Thailand for 28 days and then I will spend 28 days in Thailand away from work, this rotation will carry on indefinitely so multiple entries is a must. I sent an email to the Thai E Visa website and they responded saying a DTV would be the most suitable option. However, when I look at applying for a DTV on the E Visa website the only choice I seem to have is that of a spouse of a DTV holder and not that of a parent of a Thai dependent as the lady stated in her reply. I've tried emailing a few times again but just get the same reply stating the DTV. Has anyone here been granted a DTV as the parent or guardian of a Thai dependent and if so how did you go about it?

I got approved my DTV as a remote worker from Stockholm after 9 days

I originally uploaded the requested documentation:

* Proof of current address

* Bank account showing current balance of > 500,000 baht and 3 months going back (but only > 500,000 in the current month)

* Employment contract - I appended the remote work permission to the employment contract pdf

They returned and asked for pay slip as well as "Employment Certificate". After some confusion about what this certificate was exactly, I chose simply to re-upload the remote work permission and that was accepted

Finally, they asked for an explanation of how my work could be carried out online and I wrote about 10 lines explaining how my work is carried out only online

I hope this is helpful

I seek recommendation for agent in Pattaya that will help me with DTV (I’m a remote worker and currently on tourist visa here)

Thanks 🙂

What soft power course cheapest. I want to book one.

Thanks

I am preparing myself to apply for the DTV E-Visa (Australian) at the end of the year.

I have an employment contract signed by myself (employee) and the company director (employer). It has outlined my weekly salary and the ability to work 100% remotely in administration - an Australian company.

What other documents should I be uploading to show my employment status, if any?

And is it correct I can only apply from Australia as that’s where my employment is based?

I have a Commenwealth Bank of Australia account with the funds required.

Is a “proof of balance” letter from the bank sufficient or should I be uploading a bank statement, how many months?

Thank you all.

Hi, I am planning to apply for the DTV. I am a remote worker for a company in New Zealand, because of this, do I need to apply for the visa at a Thai embassy in NZ or can I apply at a Thai embassy in another country?
