Hey everyone, I have submitted my DTV visa application, and gotten a request for additional documents. Most of the documents were easy to get, however they are asking for payslips from April, March and May.

My contract shows that I started working 1st of May, meaning I obviously only have 1 month payslip to show. They're essentially asking for payslips from my company from before I actually started working.

However, I have an extra written letter from my company CEO showing the duration of my contract, and the amount I will be getting paid in the coming months + showing that I can indeed work remotely etc.

Any thoughts on this being sufficient... or am I screwed? 😎

Hey folks!

I’m considering to apply for the Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) from Singapore and trying to figure out the Digital Nomad vs Soft Power routes.

For the Digital Nomad track—does anyone know if you *have* to have a registered business, or can freelancers get by with just a portfolio? Also, if you have your own company, does your own company letter work for the “letter from company” thing?

And for Soft Power—are there specific companies or activities you have to be with? Any minimum time you need to do them?

Would love to hear how it worked for you or what you’ve heard. Thanks!

Hallo everyone.

I am in thailand by my own sail boat right now, but want to apply for the dtv Visa (Digital nomad).

Can I leave Thailand to Malaysia (Langkawi) and apply for the Thai e-visa in Germany, munich from there?

And if yes: Can I already apply when I have the exit stamp from Thailand in my passport? Or do I need to wait for the entry stamp from Langkawi?

(I will be around one week on the water, sailing vom Phuket to Langkawi...and want to use the Transit time already for the apply process).

Thank you for your answers🙏

Stefan

Anyone successfully used crypto as part of proving the 500k in accounts for DTV?

Workcation (digital nomad) DTV approved in 5 working days - London 🇹🇭 🇬🇧

June 12th - Applied online, via the freelancer/business owner route, selecting the Royal Thai Embassy in London.

June 15th - Received request for two additional documents (one more proof of current location, and three months of recent utility bills) which I sent within the hour.

June 18th - Received e-visa in my inbox.

Notes:

I sent everything as requested in the initial application but was still asked for the two documents above. Balance on statement ending on 10th June was around £14k, and I only sent this one month statement. The statement showed a starting balance of £12k though, and an end balance of £14k so that would have shown it wasn’t just deposited in the last month. I wasn’t asked for more bank statements, but I did include three months of payslips in my original application.

Documents I attached:

Cover letter confirming type of DTV I was applying and that I understood employment was prohibited and all my earnings would be from outside Thailand.

Employment certificate on my company headed paper, signed by hand and stamped with the company stamp, detailing my position, salary, and confirmation that I am a remote worker and can work from anywhere in the world.

Companies House document showing I owned the company, and that the company had been incorporated in 2011.

Three months of payslips from one client only (not all my clients) showing a steady income.

Flight ticket and hotel confirmation email.

Driving licence as proof of current address and location (but was later asked to send another document to prove my current location, such as three months of any utility bill, so I sent my last three mobile phone bills which was accepted).

Key tip: keep your documents in order, make sure all fields are correct, combine into one single PDF with a cover letter at the front and all the supporting documents after that in the order listed above, and keep an eye on emails in case further documents are requested. PM me if you have any queries 😊

Hello,

I applied for the DTV visa on May 6th via the Los Angeles consulate with the e visa platform, as a digital nomad.

I received a request for additional documents on May 23rd and I submitted them the same day.

I have yet to receive a status update after the status changed to "pending document check" upon submission.

The website for this consulate says 15 business days for initial response, and if additional documents are requested, it will take another 5 business days.

My planned flight leaves June 20th(US).

It is currently the 16th and I have yet to hear anything.

I saw one post on reddit about delays with additional document processing through this consulate, but it took 11 business days after additional document submission for him.

It has been longer for me.

Has anyone had similar experiences, or any ideas on how to expedite this?

I have emailed the consulate but no response, can't contact via phone either.

Hello everyone,

I’m Canadian. I want to apply for my DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) as an online tutor. My embassy is the Royal Thai Embassy in Ottawa. Have any of you had experience with this embassy?

I’m wondering if it’s safer or faster to go directly to Ottawa to apply in person or if I should do it online. I’d like to get my visa as quickly and smoothly as possible.

I don’t have an employment contract or anything like that. I want to start as an online tutor (teaching languages). Is there a minimum salary requirement to show, and if so, for how long? I have the necessary funds (500,000 THB) in my account, but I’m worried about the job proof requirements. My client base isn’t stable yet - I’m still building it.

Thank you for your help - I really appreciate it.

Hello everyone.

I'm going to apply for DTV next week from Pakistan. I'm a faceless content creator on YouTube. My work is fully remotely, and I can prove my work, my earnings, and my bank statements.

Can anyone help me regarding what exactly documents I need to submit? Or is there any Whatsapp group about this visa?

DTV extension. Some say we have to resubmit all docs again for the extension after the initial 180 days of DTV visa. (hope this is a joke)

OR, we can do border run to extend it without going through the docs check.

Cause my concern is, what if one does not have the employment anymore after the initial approval of the DTV visa. I think they can still keep the visa status somehow, I heard.

thanks for you help!!

I have friends that are moving to Thailand and are wanting to get on the DTV Visa, most likely under the digital nomad category. Has anyone successfully opened a bank account? Is there an agency that is able to help them open an account? Husband and wife would both like bank accounts! Thanks for any help and sorry if this has been answered multiple times!
