DTV approved in Bern (Switzerland) 🇨🇭🇹🇭🎉

Here my experience:

Appilied on thursday 31.10.2024 at 16:00 and got approved today monday 4.11.2024 at 10:00. It went super fast i’m so surprised.

It was on EVISA and i provided:

- face picture with white backround

- passport pic (only front page)

- flight ticket to thailand

- booking of hotel in thailand

- remote working contract

- 1 bank printscreenshot of my savings account

That’s all.

No further information was needed.

Roll on thailand kaaaaa 😃

DTV Success Story

I was granted a DTV visa from the consulate in Taipei. After being granted, I then submitted for my wife and 2 year old son, both as dependents, which were also approved! I applied under the workation category. Along with my passport and visa application, here are the other documents I submitted-

-3 months of bank statements

-letter from my employer stating I could work remotely and all of my work was for companies outside of Thailand

-Employment contract

-Employers Article of incorporation

-Because my bank statements were long, they also asked I submit a separate statement from the same bank account which only listed the deposits from my employer. I get paid on a per project basis, so I think they also asked for this because the payments come in on random dates so it would have been a bit tedious for them to review my entire statements to find them.

-savings account statement which had 502,000 bhat in it

-Passport photograph

For my wife and son I only had to submit their passports, visa applications, photographs, birth certificate for son, marriage certificate for wife, copy of my DTV visa, copy of my passport, and the same financials I submitted for my visa. I was told at the counter they actually probably wouldn’t need the financials since I was already approved for my DTV but kept them with their applications just in case.

My visa was granted within 24 hours of applying. The next day I submitted wife and son’s docs and visa was also granted within 24 hours. All in all my experience in Taipei was phenomenal! I know stipulations could change anytime, but for the time being, I highly recommend the Thai consulate in Taipei.

Hello, anyone holding Thai work permit before and change to DTV successfully? Work permit is too expensive and DTV is way cheaper.

Thank you

Question that I haven't seen answered...

After the 5 years, does anyone know if we can reapply for another DTV?

Just submitted my DTV application yay! Applied as digital nomad from Australia. Cost $600 AUD. Will update this post with the progress.

EXCITED!!

Hi everyone,

regarding the DTV visa, I understand that you have to sign up for programs like Muai Thay, cooking classes or others to get it. This means that I have to complete a relevant program in the first 180 days. What happens if I leave the country after 180 days and re-enter 2 weeks later and get another 180 day stay? Do I have to participate in a program again each time I re-enter the country?

Another question: Do I have to file a tax return and pay taxes if I stay in the country for more than 180 days a year due to re-entry with the DTV?

Thanks for any answers

I applied for the DTV visa in Germany (digital nomad), and they’re asking for my 2022 and 2023 tax returns. I haven’t submitted the 2023 return yet, so I can only upload the 2022 return. Should I just upload that one and note that the 2023 return can’t be provided at this time?

My flight is in one month, and I won’t have the 2023 tax return by then. I’ve tried calling multiple times but haven’t been able to reach anyone. Thanks for the help!

I am planning to go to Thailand in May. Is there any chance that the DTV will disappear by then? The visa seems incredible I don't want to miss it. Thanks in advance!

I applied for the DTV visa. Now, they’re asking for my tax returns from the last two years. Do they want to assess my income, or do they just want to know if I’m paying taxes?

Following all the posts in this group, I have seen some who are not interested or able to register as nomad digital workers to apply for this visa.

Remember there are other alternatives listed as Thai Soft Power Activities

So if you do not work online but want to apply, you can still qualify for the Thailand DTV Visa if you plan to engage in “Thai Soft Power” activities. These include:

* Muay Thai courses

* Thai cooking courses

* Sports training

* Medical treatment

* Seminars

* Music festivals

I have now made contact with a school for this cookery course in the north eastern province of Khon Kaen. Been there with my friend Wanida Somruecha for a meeting and tour of the facilities. This gives a different environment to engaging in this course in a city like Bangkok for instance. It is a small family run business on the outskirts of the city, but easy access to shopping malls, night markets etc. They also offer a mixed dormitory bed included in the price or help find accommodate nearby for 600 baht per night.

Classes are for a max of 5 students so you get the upmost attention to gain that extra knowledge too.
