Hi, has there been any updates on opening a bank account on the DTV ?

I am looking for a Muay Thai club to get the DTV visa near BTS Phra Khanong Bangkok, any suggestions? Thanks

Hey guys! Quick question, in applying for the DTV, we have USD 11K in 1 checking account and another USD 10K in another checking account in the same bank. Is that enough to satisfy requirements of 500,000THB for this visa? Or does it need to be in the same account? And how many months of statements do I need to show with 500,000THB equivalent? Thank you for your help!

Wanted to post my experience from getting my DTV Visa in Hanoi May 2025, as this group was super helpful for me!

I applied the Digital Nomad route (whatever its called) as I have a working contract with a company from Hong Kong. American passport.

What I submitted:

-Passport biopage

-Photos

-Work contact (signed by my boss and I)

-Bank statements (above 500k) going back 6 months (wanted to be thorough and the more you send the better.)

-I originally submitted my Hanoi hotel booking as proof of location

Timeline

-Tuesday May 13th I submitted it at 8am the day I flew to Hanoi.

-Thursday May 15th I got a request for more paperwork. (They wanted Vietnam entry stamp and "business certification" for work

-Friday May 16th, resubmitted all of this (the business cert I had to wait for my boss, they wanted the official registration from the country of your company)

-Friday May 16th it went into "pending approval"

-Friday May 23rd, received eVisa approval at 10am

My flight back to Thailand was scheduled for May 24th.

This is my 3rd eVisa and each time I received approval on a Friday. It appears 5-6 working days is the sweet spot as long as it's not around a holiday or something. The process was very simple, my main advice is give them more paperwork than you think you should. Everything you have, combine into a PDF and submit.

Good luck! Feel free to ask questions, happy to help.

DTV (workcation) just approved by RTE Canberra after a long wait. Initial application made late April. Further info requested within a few days of that, and then ... ... ... until today.

Patience was key thanks to advice that I read in this forum. (I was tempted to email and/or call but decided it might just waste everyone's time at best and harm my case at worst. Jai yen yen dee gwa.)

Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

DTV approved through the LA consulate 🎉🎉🎉

Here’s my timeline in case it helps anyone:

• Applied: April 27

• Got a request for more docs: May 12

• Submitted additional docs: May 13

• Visa approved: May 22

They asked me for a company profile and business portfolio, so if you’re applying as a freelancer, definitely have those ready ahead of time to avoid back and forth.

Happy to answer any questions or share what I included in my uploads if y’all need help 🫶🏾

Dtv visa as a spouse applying in dc. Received additional request for documentation. Bank statement specifically. My statement does not come out till the end of the month. How long do I have to upload requested docs? Anyone know? thanks in advance.

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 😇🙏

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?
