My wife and I are planning to apply for the DTV later this year with her and my child as my dependents. What are the best countries to apply in that only require the 500k for one person and not each individual? We are from the USA but are okay with flying to another country to apply and then forward to Thailand from there.

Arrived Thailand 08/04/25 via Suvarnabhumi on DTV issued from Sydney, Australia. No questions, no comments, no concerns. Straight through no problems!

I'm considering a DTV but I'm unclear on what happens regarding reporting, if I come in for 30 days and leave then come back in say a week later and stay 20 or 30 days , is the 90 reporting cumulative or only for those that stay 90 days consecutive?

Hello everyone, Has anyone received a DTV visa for Muay Thai course, Thai cooking training or Medical treatment? If so, could you please give me some details? I am thinking of contacting the agency for one of these if you can advise me. Thank you very much

Hi everyone, I looked in the group already but couldn't really find an answer. We're going to apply for a DTV in Jakarta with my family. I know that they are fine with us having 500,000 baht for the whole family and that they want 2 months worth of bank statements. I'm just wondering if the 500,000 baht needs to be in the account for the 2 months or if it's ok if it's there for 3 or 4 weeks 🤔. Just asking because they want the money on a bank account in my name and I only have a wise account, not sure I want that much money on a wise account for so long 😅

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi all, I’ve been in the group for a while and had a question. Currently, I’m living in Thailand on an ‘educational’ visa, working remotely. I want to apply for the DTV around September, from my home country. However, my employer doesn’t actually know I’m working abroad, and I don’t think they’d allow it either. In other words, I won’t be able to provide a confirmation letter stating that I’m allowed to work abroad.

What I do have is an employment statement that shows I’m working remotely. It doesn’t explicitly mention that I’m allowed to work abroad, but it doesn’t disprove it either. My question is: Would this be sufficient for the application? And does it matter that I’ve been on an educational visa previously? Once this visa expires, I’ll apply for the DTV.

Hope to hear from you all!

Hello everyone, I would like to inquire about the DTV. In my case, I applied at the Hong Kong Consulate as a remote worker, being an Israeli national and working for a Hong Kong-based company. The consulate requested additional documents, namely the Valid HK stay permit (Working Visa) + HKID. Is this a requirement for everyone, or is it specific to my case? Also, I would like to know the experience of others who have submitted additional documents and what steps they took.

Is a DTV sufficient to open a bank account…..

Hello

Is it sufficient to register a business as an online marketer in Frankfurt for a DTV visa?

I was previously in Thailand for 3 months (visa exemption + extension), after i booked a trip to vietnam to apply for the DTV for 1 week but my visa is still processing. Can I let it continue processing and reenter thailand on a visa expemption for an additinal 3 months and then hopefully it gets approved by then and I can reenter on the DTV?
