Many times it have been said here that working as digital nomad without a DTV, meaning on a visa waiver is not legal. Embassies tend to differ, I think, but I just found this news piece today, any thoughts?

Approved DTV Workcation in Oslo. Sent all the papers needed, I'm a Youtuber so I sent all the payment receipts of the last 7 months by Google. The application went smoothly, it took basically 2 days. They asked for 3 months statements from my bank, and to describe my work. All in all, it went great! 😊

Hey gang, I'm about to apply for the DTV from Australia, and I want to make sure I've covered all my bases before submitting. If applying as a remote worker, are payslips a NECESSITY, or will proof of my employment (ie contract) suffice? The website is sparse when it comes to requirements, and I don't want to have it rejected. I've been researching posts within the group, but still can't gauge if they're 100% needed.

Thanks in advance!

DTV easy entry at BKK.

It took exactly 10 business days to be approved while in Bali.. Everything has been done remotely. No need to go to the embassy.

I didn't really care to print anything out since they have it all in TDAC form.

It is just my second time in Thailand, but I witnessed people in front of me being interrogated for Visa runs.

So I thought to myself I want to do it in the most sustainable way possible.

Thank you Thailand for creating opportunities for us nomads.

Calling all Thailand adventurers and DTV holders! 🇹🇭

I'm currently planning my trip to Thailand on the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and looking for some wisdom from this fantastic group! 🙏

While the DTV doesn't always have strict health insurance mandates, I definitely want to be prepared for any unexpected bumps in the road.

For those of you who have obtained or are planning to use the DTV, what travel insurance providers have you found to be the best for basic coverage?

Specifically, I'm hoping to hear about plans that effectively cover:

* Medical emergencies (hospitalization, doctor visits)

* Emergency evacuation (just in case!)

* Repatriation of remains (always important to have this covered, even if you hope to never need it)

Bonus points for any providers that are known for good customer service or easy claims processes, especially if you've had to use them while in Thailand.

The immigration officer didn’t even look at the TDAC or the DTV printout. She didn't even take it from my hands..just the passport.

She simply asked, “What’s your purpose of visit?”

I replied, “Workcation,” and showed her my visa.

Then she signaled someone to close the counter gates and made a phone call. I ended up waiting for about 15 minutes.

During that time, she just kept staring at her screen and eventually asked, “How long will you stay?”

I said, “A month.”

Later, one of her colleagues arrived, and they had a quick exchange. All I could catch was “dai, dai” - which I assume meant “okay” or “can.”

Then the colleague turned to me and asked, “Mister, what work do you do?”

I told her I run a company back home and manage it remotely.

That was it. They stamped me in.

Still, the whole experience felt a bit tense and nerve-wracking.

Has anyone gotten a DTV but has mysterious sources of income. I make approx $10000 a month but don’t have a company- I stream on twitch from time to time and have subs on patreon. ( no nudity or anything at all) and have a big Twitter page with 50k where I get sent gifts under $. Or should I apply for soft power. Thanks :)

Hello everyone, I have a question: If I am a digital nomad, can I enroll in a Muay Thai learning class?

Hello, I am currently in Thailand and will soon start freelancing. I have seen several people doing the DTV process from Vietnam. I would like to know if I can telework for a few weeks from Vietnam to justify my income? Is it legally allowed? and which kind of visa do I need in Vietnam? (I am French)

Hello Friends,

Would you please recommend reliable agents to assist with DTV visa proccess (Bangkok, Pattaya, HuaHin area but can be the whole Thailand) and if you know how high are fees for such assistance? I would appreciate your help, thank you so much!
