Hi everyone,

May I kindly ask for your advice — if I am already in Thailand, am I still eligible to submit a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) application from here? Or must the application be submitted from outside the country?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Hi All. I have emailed the embassy in UK regarding a query I have. I work offshore in oil and gas on a rotational basis remotely and wondered if that would be a suitable occupation to be accepted for DTV in the remote category. Does anyone have any experience in this? My email to London Thai Embassy is as follows:

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. I work offshore remotely, and I'm writing to inquire if this is a suitable occupation to successfully get accepted for a Destination Thailand visa in the remote work category. Can you please provide more details on this and let me know if it's an option?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Once I have a response, I'll share here. Thanks

What is the DTV visa and what is involved?

Any advice much appreciated

Hello

If you have a 5 year digital nomad visa do you still have to leave Thailand every 6 months ?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Lithuanian and currently staying in Vietnam. I want to apply for the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) but the process seems a bit confusing.

My documents (like work contract and company registration) are in Lithuanian — I’ll translate them to English, but I’m not sure if they need to be “authenticated by the Thai embassy” or if that’s still required with the new online system.

Has anyone applied for the DTV visa from Vietnam recently? Did you use an agency? Any advice or success stories would really help! 🙏

Thanks in advance! 🙌

Anyone with DTV have to pay taxes yet?

APPROVED! 🎉

DTV Soft Power Visa - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

HUGE thanks to everyone here in the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) group for all the helpful info! 🙌

TIMELINE

* Mid March - Researched DTV categories, requirements, Muay Thai schools. Chose Wildcat Muay Thai (in Chiang Mai).

* March 26: Finalized details and paid for a 6-month course. Shout out to Meaw for answering all my questions! :)

* March 27: Received the required documents from the school for the Soft Power DTV application.

* March 28: Prepared supporting documents: cover letter, bank statements, proof of accommodation, etc. Decided to wait till April for my banks to produce the most recent, March account statement.

* April 1: Submitted my application (documents + fees).

* April 3: Received a request for updated financial proof (bank statements for the last 6 months) and explanation of how I’ll support myself. Sent the additional documents the same night.

* April 8: Status updated to “Pending Approval” (visible on the portal; no email notification).

* April 16: APPROVED! Received my visa as a PDF via email.

If I had to do it again - I would submit all 6 months of bank account statements AND the most recent month right away.

And in a case you're unemployed - definitely include a COVER LETTER explaining how you're going to support yourself.

Hope this helps anyone navigating the process.

Thanks everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) from Hanoi and had a question regarding the financial requirement. Specifically, does anyone know how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the bank account before applying? Has anyone here been approved with the funds in their account for less than a month? Thanks 🙏

Hi everyone!

I’m currently preparing to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

As a freelancer, I don’t have a formal work contract, but I do have proof of income, a detailed portfolio, and client communications.

I’m wondering — based on the official requirements — is submitting a portfolio and proof of freelance income considered sufficient for this visa?

Has anyone with a similar freelance background successfully applied?

Appreciate any insights or shared experiences — thank you!

Can I get the Golden Visa Paperwork in Phuket now that I'm here till mid April?
