Has anyone been able to receive a DTV through application in a thai massage school?

We just completed our first 90-day reporting under the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at the Blue Tree Immigration Office in Phuket. The whole process took less than 5 minutes for both of us!

Received an acknowledgement receipt attached in the passport.

Here are a few useful things we discovered:

1️⃣ Documents Required:

They only checked our TM47 form, TM30 slip, and passport with the latest entry stamp. Super simple.

2️⃣ Child Verification Needed:

Our daughter was at school during the visit, but the officer insisted she must be present for verification. So we’ll need to make another trip with her during school hours.

3️⃣ Office Closure:

Heads up! The Blue Tree immigration office will be closed on Monday, July 28th (likely for a holiday).

4️⃣ DTV Extension:

If you’re planning to extend your Digital Nomad Visa, it can only be done at the main Immigration Office in Phuket Town – not at Blue Tree.

5️⃣ In-Person Visit Required:

Each applicant must be present in person for 90-day reporting or visa-related services – no exceptions.

We might do our next 90 days reporting in October or after 6 months. Depending on how our DTV extension goes.

Hi everyone!

Has anyone here applied for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) using a Muay Thai course as supporting documentation?

I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience, especially:

• How long the course needed to be (1 week, 1 month, 6 months?)

• How many classes per week were required

• And if you had any issues with immigration when submitting documents from the gym

Any advice or personal experience would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks in advance!

I'm a sole proprietor of my LLC and all my income goes into a business bank account under the company name. I understand that for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), they usually want to see personal bank statements, not business accounts — even if I'm the sole owner and signatory.

If I open a Wise personal account, transfer the funds from my business account to it, and keep it there, can that be used as proof of funds for the DTV application?

Also:

* How long does the money need to sit in the new personal account before it's considered valid proof?

* Will the lack of 3–6 months of personal statement history be a problem if I include a letter explaining the transfer and that I'm a sole proprietor?

I am looking to come to Thailand (Hua Hin) for 2-3 months on a US passport to see if I then want to return to live. I will rent a condo or Villa. My question is I am a consultant so work from home but do travel fairly often to visit clients and do seminars. So, during my 2-3 month stay I would likely travel in and out of Thailand 4-5 times (Hong Kong, Dubai, Vietnam, etc.). Is this going to cause me potential problems with immigration. Thoughts and recommendations appreciated.

Need a quick DTV reality-check—anyone done this?

• American, living in Bangkok on a single-entry ED visa (expires 23 July).

• Flying to Ho Chi Minh City on 10 July.

• Plan: apply online for the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) while in Vietnam.

• Funds: 500 k THB sitting in my Thai account for 6-plus months.

• Run a legit U.S. real-estate business (remote work).

Key question:

If I exit Thailand on 10 July (before the ED visa expires) and let that visa die, can I still file for the DTV from Vietnam without any headaches when I re-enter Thailand? Or will immigration scream “problem” because my old ED visa auto-expired?

Thanks for any first-hand experience or tips!

Dear experts

May I ask if the third requirement is for me to write an explanatory document myself, or for the company to provide a proof?

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
