I've arrived last week in Thailand and entered with a visa exempt. Two days later, I have received the confirmation and approval for my DTV visa, which was under processing prior to that. I've mentioned this situation to the IM officers at the airport, and they said it's no problem, I just need to wait for the confirmation, and once it's done have the stamp exchanged at the local IM office. I went to Huahin office and see if I can have the stamp changed, but they said I have to leave and re-enter the country. Please let me know your input on this. Thanks!

Hi, I'm planning to apply for the DTV in Thailand next year. My current situation is that I am self-employed with my Italian company, but I'm looking to transition to a US LLC in order to be able to live and work in Thailand legally, as it is not allowed to have both tax residency in Thailand and a VAT number in Italy at the same time.

My question is: If I create the LLC but don’t have a substantial “background” with it (since I'm creating for the purpose of relocating), is it still acceptable for the DTV application? I do have a business background in Italy with my VAT number, but I need to make this change to comply with the regulations.

I would appreciate any insights or advice on how this thing might affect my application.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, next month I’ll be traveling to Thailand with a tourist visa, but I’m interested in applying for the Digital Nomad DTv Visa once I’m there. I have a few questions and would really appreciate if someone with experience could help me out:

1. Is it possible to apply for the DTv Visa easily from within Thailand while on a tourist visa?

2. If not, would it be possible to go to a nearby country, like Cambodia, and apply for it from there?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice or experiences you can share!

do i need to show a printout of DTV visa?

Or can i show immigration the downloaded file on phone + QR code?

I need to be out of my rental here in the US by the end of the month and I’m not sure if I will get approved by then. Does anyone know if it is OK to fly to Thailand and arrive on a tourist visa, then exit the country and re-enter to activate my DTV Visa upon reentry? I was able to do this when I traveled to Indonesia with no issues. If its a risk to enter now i will book a flight to Laos or PH. Until i know if i am approved.

If you’re not sure, and just like to hear your own voice, please refrain from making pointless comments about it. (you know who you are) lol.

Yes i know i should have gotten the application submitted sooner. It took longer to complete because of reasons i dont need to explain here.

Hi everyone I’m new to the group . I had two questions . Firstly I’m from USA living in Mexico currently ….how does that work in regards to the location and getting the dtv visa when it says current location proof etc . Also does anyone know if a tummy tuck / liposuction or like a “mommy makeover” of sorts would qualify for the medical option to get the visa . I’m just curious because I see different scenarios here where people are getting denied and I would like some insight . Thank you so much 💙

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa for 6 months (visits and medical treatments) and I have a question about the required documents.

For this type of visa, one of the requirements is:

1. Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from a hospital/medical center.

Does anyone know if it is sufficient to provide a single appointment, or do I need to include details of multiple visits or a treatment plan (e.g., medical therapy cycles)?

Any advice or experiences with this type of visa would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Good morning ! My post is in french because it is aimed at french speakers. It concerns the obligation to translate documents into english because if it is an obligation, that makes a lot of documents to translate. It is for the "remote workers" DTV. This question is also for all the people in the same case. Thank you for your help.

« Bonjour ! Petite question pour ceux qui ont déjà fait le DTV en "remote workers". Faut-il traduire l'intégralité des documents en anglais ? Parce que si c'est le cas, c'est pas mal de documents à traduire : extraits de comptes, attestation de carrière, contrats, RIB, enregistrement de la société, etc ... bref j'aurais apprécié avoir un feed-back de ceux qui sont passés par là ! Merci d'avance et bonne journée ! »

I'm getting ready to apply for the DTV. Does the five year period begin when the Visa is issued or when you arrive in Thailand? I'm not planning on arriving until Dec next year.

Hi friends, my DTV was approved (Muay Thai) and have a couple questions:

1. What health insurance provider is recommended for DTV holders? Searching around I see AXA or AIA, but would like to hear your thoughts.

2. Are DTV holders able to get a motorbike license in Bangkok? Just something small to get around.

Thank you!
