Have many people been refused a DTV and lost their application fee and if so for what reasons? Curious to know the success rate is..

For those that have been refused have you applied again and had success or have you went for a different visa..

I do some remote work but would intend on staying for martial arts, is it easier to go down the soft power route rather than have to make sure my remote work reports are squeaky clean?

If the success rate isnt so great I may be inclined to go for the education visa and study alongside training..

Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.

I have looked at several posts about vietnam and thats where I am headed to apply for the DTV. I know all the requirements and have all the documentation, I am just a little confused about the e-visa process. Is the E-visa the same thing as the DTV? or do i actually go into the embassy in Ho Chi Minh and apply from there? Just trying to get clarification before I book a flight.

Hello i have a question.

i've been seeing so many people saying that they come to thailand on 60 day visa exemption then leave for a few days then come back and get another 60 day visa exemption!

DTV + Mandatory 90-Day Reporting

As with nearly all Thai Visas and Extensions of Stay in Thailand (with only one visa type as an exception), there is a requirement for those who have made entry into Thailand and stayed continuously within Thailand for 90 days or more to do 90-Day Reporting with Thai Immigration.

Inexplicably, why are there rumors that 90-Day Reporting is not necessary for DTV is unknown, but for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), 90-Day Reporting is specifically required as follows:

As per Thai Immigration Order #135/2567 (2024), dated 15 July 2024 implementing the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV),

> Section 5 requires 90-Day Reporting for those who made entry into Thailand using a DTV.

Also, for reference are the Cover Sheet of related implementing Immigration Orders dated 15 July 2024 and both the signed copy and Royal Gazette published copy of the Interior Ministry Ministerial Regulation outlining the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

Sorry, that an English translation is not provided, but perhaps using Google machine translation may help to understand these Thai documents....

Hello, we are a family of 4 trying to figure out how to move to Thailand for long-term.. I'm a disabled vet and my wife wil be working remote...any advice would be great

Anyone with experience getting a DTV from Hanoi?

DTV Visa was just issued from RTE in Berlin, Germany.

-

What I submitted:

- Biometric Passport Picture

- Copy of both sides of German ID card (“Personalausweis”) with “home” address on it (for proof of location)

- A letter written by myself as owner and director of a company registered in Germany that I am the sole / 100% shareholder of, confirming that I am free to work remotely from everywhere including Thailand and that I have access to company funds exceeding 500k THB + copy of company registration papers (“Handelsregisterauszug” + “Gewerbeanmeldung”).

- One / a most recent bank statement of one of my savings accounts in my personal name with an opening and closing sum in EUR exceeding 500k THB – with all other individual transactions and bank account numbers etc. redacted / black-inked.

-

What I was asked to re-submit:

- A different biometric picture (the first one I uploaded didn’t seem good enough for them, even though the system initially said it was and even though I thought it was just as good as what I have always used before).

- The copy of my German ID card in a color instead of a grayscale scan (even though that same grayscale scan always worked for them before).

-

How long did it take?

After 9 working days, they requested the two changed uploads. Today, after 13 working days the visa was issued – on the day I told them in the form that I would fly to Thailand. Initially, I would have already been in the air to Thailand by now – but had to postpone this flight for different reasons anyways.

-

What to note?

The passport I used expires on a date a few months before the end date of the DTV validity. They noted that in Thai in a Remarks section of the visa. So, I assume, that transferring this visa to a new passport might be tricky – remains to be seen. But even if I will have lost a few months off of it in the end, still a good deal for now. Might switch to LTR soon anyways – depending on taxation and other developments.

Hope this information helps others planning to get the DTV from a Thai consulate in Germany, especially the Thai embassy in Berlin. Have a great day everyone.
