Hello.

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to use two different bank accounts for proof of funds when applying for dtv visa?

When submitting the application should there be photo copies of every passport page? Or just the biodata page and arrival stamp page if applying from a country other than home country? Can you stay at multiple hotels while waiting for application to process or just stick to one?

Hello,

I have been in Thailand for almost 60 days and need to start the visa application process for the DTV.

Which surrounding country has quick turn around times and good pricing? I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Hi everyone . I have a valid DTV visa and will be leaving Thailand and re-entering by land soon.

Last time I re-entered by plane, immigration didn’t ask for anything other than my DTV visa. It was quick and smooth.

This time, since I’ll be entering via a land border (VIA Padang Besar, Malaysia) I just wanted to ask:

Has anyone ever been asked to show proof of funds when re-entering with a valid DTV visa?

And if so, would a brokerage investment account be accepted, or does it need to be a traditional bank account, like what was required for the initial application?

Thanks for any firsthand experience or advice!

Ive tried to search for this in the group but cant find the right answers. We'll be living in Samui but will need to do visa runs obviously, what is the cheapest way people are doing this? Needing money to stretch as on a soft power DTV so no money coming in.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, together!

Is there any experience to get the DTV with Softskill classes ?

I would be interrested in Muay Thai and language school.

(Koh Chang- Trat)

And do i have to book new classes for every reentry?

Thx in advance for your Help!

Hi, can you apply for workation dtv if you don't have tax slips or even pay tax. Where I come from if you are not living there you don't pay tax on income earned abroad or even income from local companies you freelance for.

I have not been in a country long enough to become tax resident either since turning freelance a few months ago.

I have an exclusive contract as consultant and can provide contract and invoices but those invoices are in my name not a business name, I don't have a business. Can of course provide screenshot, proof of work, company will write a letter and so it is just this tax thing that concerns me.

Thanks very much

Hey everyone! 🙌

I’ve searched this group thoroughly and checked the official websites, but I couldn’t find clear answers to these specific questions — so I hope it’s okay to ask directly here. I’d *really* appreciate any insights or recent experiences you’re willing to share!

1. Income Requirements for the DTV (Workcation) Visa

I know there’s no *official* minimum income listed for the Workcation category — but from your personal experiences:

* Is there a general income level where people usually get approved?

* Or an income range where people tend to get denied?

I’m trying to figure out if the Workcation route is realistic for me, or if I should look into other visa options.

2. Financial Documents from Brazil

Since my company is based in Brazil, my tax documents are from the Brazilian tax agency.

* Do they need to be apostilled, or is a printout from the official tax site + translation enough?

* Can I translate them myself into English, or does it need to be done by a certified translator (in Brazil or Thailand)?

3. Originals vs. Digital Copies (Work Contracts or Proof of Income)

One of the companies I work with (in Norway) will provide a letter confirming my work and income, but they’ll send it as a PDF by email, not a physical original.

* Are PDF versions accepted, or do Thai immigration/embassies ever ask for the original hard copies?

Thanks so much in advance — I truly appreciate any tips, insights, or real experiences you’re open to sharing! 🙏

Los Angeles Thai Consulate DTV soft power approved in less than 2 hours! Seriously could not believe how fast that was…after reading it had taken some 4 weeks or more! Now all set to go Sept 21! Thanks all for the helpful info!

Guys, I’m a stock investor, made $250k on paper last year. Can I get a dtv as an entrepreneur? I’m all working for myself with my personal stock account.
