Is DTV visa considered as a long term visa, like retirement, or a sort term visa, like tourist?

I applied for DTV in Vientiane and got interview date about two weeks ago for June 5th. I have just received an email a few minutes ago saying the interview has been cancelled and to reschedule without any information. The Evisa portal has changed back from “request for interview” to “pending approval.” Has anyone experienced the same thing? There’s no option to reschedule that I can find in the portal or on the email.

Anyone successfully received a drivers license in Thailand on a DTV? I drive my gfs car all the time but id feel better about it if I actually had a Thai license.

Hello, when I will do my DTV visa online, do I need to go to the embassy to sign something or to meet someone ?

Or it is full online and I will receive everything online ?

Thank you in advance

Everybody what's up I just wanted to make a quick post about a few things I'm currently doing documentaries about Thailand and certain places but I'm just trying to probably find a more permanent place to stay somewhere here in Southeast Asia been thinking about Cambodia but here in Thai visa forms I joined originally to see what I could do about my situation since I am a younger American I'm not really wealthy enough to have a VIP but at the same exact time I know that when it comes to maybe in the future if it comes to reentry what would be some advice as far as coming back into Thailand for say to visit a family friend and or documentaries? Or would just be hopping over just as long as I don't do it as often and be okay?

Has anyone ever been asked to submit the passport of the person who signed their company’s remote work confirmation letter? I received this request, and my CEO is the one who signed my letter (with company letterhead). It’s completely unreasonable to ask for my boss’s personal information, and it’s highly unlikely I can even obtain it. I explained this to the embassy when submitting the documents, as well as through emails and calls, but I’ve received no response. They ended up rejecting my application and cited the reason as “suspected forged documents.” This is absolutely ridiculous—everything I submitted is legitimate, and the only document I’m missing is my boss’s passport.

Can anyone recommend a bank or an agent for a bank account opening around Pattaya for a DTV holder? I am currently with Bangkok Bank but who knows how long still:-( Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm from Germany and I've been looking for a way to get the DTV visa for Thailand for quite a while now. Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to find remote jobs here in Germany that meet the visa requirements or allow working in Thailand legally.

I'm really curious:

What kind of jobs do you have that qualified you for the DTV visa?

Does anyone know of any German companies that offer remote work in Thailand for the DTV visa?

# I would give anything to get this visa. If anyone needs an employee, I'm here.

I’d really appreciate any tips or insights.

Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany! 🙏
