Hello,

Looking for a help regarding the payment. Just submitted my online application to the Royal Thai Embassy in Indonesia and when i paid with my Credit card it says that is “ Pending payment” . Where my friend used his debit card and his payment went through immediately and it says It is processing’

Now i can’t do anything- can’t cancel the transaction and use a debit card. Can’t use another card in general because it doesn’t allow me To do anything . Did something like that happen to you before? What should i do in this case. I guess it is a technical problem. Should i email the embassy?

Thanks for any help 🙏🏻

Spouse Visa Approved! Royal Thai Embassy , Washington DC.

Sunday 2 March application submitted. Passport. Marriage license. 3 months of her bank statement (December, January, February). Driver’s license. Bank statement and drivers license noted as proof of current residence. My DTV. Fee paid. Next status was pending document review. Monday March 10. Request for additional documents, my passport bio data page. Status awaiting documents Submitted Tuesday, March 11, status pending document review. Wednesday March 12, 9:15 pm, email received, we would like to inform you that your Visa application has been approved. What a relief. By the way, I did have one question that this group answered before I submitted her application, I listened to the good advice, and everything worked out fine. Thanks again to most of you, you know who you are, and you are greatly appreciated. 🙏 

Has anyone applied for a DTV visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Chennai, India? Regarding the bank statement requirement, does it need to show a closing balance of 500,000 THB, or should the account consistently maintain 500,000 THB for the past six months? Please share your experience.

How long is the processing time for the e-VISA through Kathmandu? The information on their website is not updated since when they were still using VFS Global Center, so I am seeking more up to date info from those who have recently applied.

I am a Bangladeshi applicant currently in the process of obtaining a Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) via the medical route. However, I am facing difficulties in completing the visa fee payment through the online system. I have attempted multiple times, but the website seems to have technical issues.

I have already reached out to the Royal Thai Embassy in Bangladesh via email and phone, but unfortunately, I have not received a response.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance on alternative payment methods or any steps I should take to resolve this issue. If there is any other way to proceed, such as paying through a different platform, bank transfer, or in-person payment, kindly let me know.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know how many months of bank statements Manila, Philippines requires? And are they strict about how long the money is in your bank? What if I only transferred the money a month before applying, is there a possibility to get denied for my DTV?

I appreciate anyone's insight on this 🙏

Hey. Thought I'd share my experience, because the tips in this group were helpful and some of the requirements were strange, but actually true.

Applied for DTV for Soft-Power at Royal Thai Embassy in Berlin. (Northern Germany Resident)

Applied: 24. December

Approved: 15. January

Soft-Power: DiscoverThaiNature (Seminars)

and provided following documents on Christmas:

- Proof of current location: GoogleMapsGPS+Phone Bill

--> not accepted:

They requested Personalausweis (German ID) a few days later. Uploaded a Photo of it in hi-res (Scan app)

--> not accepted: they want you to use an old school Scanner, and see the Corners of the ID.

Used high DPI on scanner afterwards

Accepted

Same story with Biodata page of Passport

- Financial requirement: Local German Bank Account statement with over 14,000€ as .pdf with date and name (used their print function) -- there was no need to show last 3 months

Accepted

- Photo: I provided a 35x45mm Photo, done with a biometric app. Compressed the photo --> not accepted

Should be Photo studio quality (they actually tell you to do it at a local one). Took photo with biometric app again, uploaded in high-resolution uncompressed. Accepted

Activity: Provided the seminar activity document, which I received from DiscoverThaiNature

Accepted

All in all, processing took 3 weeks. But there were holidays in between and I didnt upload it immediately, so I guess it is more like 2 weeks. Even faster if everything is provided correctly.

Overall process was easy.

Hi,

I applied for the DTV via the Royal Thai Embassy London. I'm a British citizen, and followed the requirements to the letter (providing for example, my most recent personal bank statement showing the circa £10,000 per month payment from the company I own, with a bank balance that remained comfortably over the published 500k THB thresholds for the entire month, and a fresh (1st December - 1st April) 4 month contract for my US company to provide consulting services to a named end client company, for £40,000).

To my dismay, they have wrote back to me to request "additional documents as follows:

...

• Other request documents: - Please load a copy of your Company House stating your name and position. (please explain if you can not provide this)

• Other request documents: - A recently letter confirming employment/contract details from an employer / contractor / client or company HR stating your position and work role as remotely worker in Thailand (address to Royal Thai Embassy in London) signed by an authorised person.

• Other request documents: - Please upload your E-Ticket of your Flight booking showing your name as passenger , departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand"

The first item sounds reasonable, but I've already told them I own a US LLC, not a UK Ltd (via the application process), so there is no 'Company House stating my name and position'. I can (and will, unless you all suggest I take different approach) provide them with the incorporation documents for my US LLC alongside explaining that this is how things work for businesses incorporated in the US, but this doesn't appear to meet the letter of what they are asking for.

The 'recent[sic] letter confirming employment/contract details...' is the one that's most concerning to me, because I've already provided them what I have, which is a valid B2B contract. I'm not a sole trader and my business to business consulting services are just that - while I do provide much of the relevant service personally, the contract(s) I sign aren't 'personal service', they are for my US company to deliver an ongoing consulting service via whatever means and people I see as necessary and so as the company owner, I don't understand how I'm supposed to respond to this request. My end client is a large entity and I'm not on their payroll so their HR isn't an option. I know this is probably just a misunderstanding, but I can't see a way forward that doesn't involve me effectively writing a letter giving myself authorisation to work from Thailand as the owner of my own company, which seems illogical.

Their last request... is unhelpful for a digital nomad (especially as they haven't even granted the visa yet), but I can work around it.

Thanks all, I do appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Adam

I would like to thank this group for helping me get approved for the DTV. visa for remote worker without need for additional documents. I didn’t get the Visa by email. I had to download it from the website. If you did not get your email, there is a function on the website where you can download it.

I submitted the visa application to the Royal Thai embassy of Los Angeles on January 6, 2025. It was issued today.

The expected wait time was three weeks.

Here is what I included

-A letter authorizing remote work in Thailand, which I actually forgot to sign

-A letter with the links to all of my advertisements related to my remote work, including my website

-My professional résumé and link LinkedIn

-Screenshots of my website and advertisements that I have created

-Photographe

-Drivers license with current address

-Voter Registration with current address

IRS letter with current address

-Six months of bank statements with ฿500,000 baht, front page only

-The original IRS letter with the tax ID number for my company that was issued to me

-The companies’s articles of organization

-Registration from the Secretary of State that I downloaded from the website from the year of 2023

So yesterday, I was reading that someone stated that specifically they needed to put that they were not to work in Thailand and I had forgotten that, and upon looking at my letter, I forgot to sign it. Since I own the company as a single member, I had to write the letter to myself from myself.

So I added the letter I signed it. I sent it to the visa department and I woke up this morning and I got no email and I got a message from their line information that they would ask for it if they needed it.

I went over to the website where my applications were, I clicked on the tab, and I noticed that it had been approved

I did not get the email however I nobody responded when I emailed, but I noticed it on the left toolbar. There is a function where you can download the visa and now I have it.

I did not have to submit any salary or statements of transfer or show any of the detail of the statements, they approved it based on my tax return, and my letter with the stated annual salary

Thank you to anybody that has answered my questions in this group. You’ve been very helpful, I was able to get this and not any less than the time prescribed, I didn’t have to submit anything additional.

I applied for a DTV visa on 29th December. The next day, they asked me to provide an additional document, proof of address such as a bank statement or a bill. So directly I sent a bank statement.

Today is January 4th and I have no news.

I am in Mauritius and am attached to the Royal Thai Embassy in South Africa

is it normal that i have no news? what do you think?

Thx
