Hello Everyone,

I am currently in Malaysia on Digital Nomad visa and I am planning to apply for DTV.

I originally saw this requirement

I certainly meet that. No issues.

I was about to apply from Kuala Lumpur but I just saw someone posting this in the group

And now I am not sure what to do.

I work for a US company (I am from Pakistan), I don't think they will hand me over their Business Registration Doc and I will be able to "Stamp" it from US embassy.

Also how (and why) they expect someone to get a long term stay in Thailand without actually getting the visa ?

I am sure everyone want's to see the place, know the area before getting a place for long term. Will they accept a 6 month AirBNB booking ? Or you need to get a lease ?

Should I apply from KL?

I am also thinking to visit Bali for 2/3 weeks and wondering if I can apply from there. (But I will be on Tourist visa there).

Any help here ?

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?

DTV approved. Applied June 30, approved July 8. US citizen and applied online via LA consulate while in Colorado. Applied for workcation as self-employed. Another friend said it took him also 8 days. Thought I messed up by putting 5 years on how long my stay would be, didn't seem to matter.

Was asked for additional documents July 7: business registration, letter of employment, portfolio, and tax return. Sent docs and was approved within minutes.

Happy to assist anyone self employed wanting the workcation DTV.

Applied for DTV recently as Digital Nomad, but I was asked about providing Letter of Confirmation stating that the applicant is permitted to work remotely … signed by authorized person and bear the official company seal.

I have my own one person company providing consultancy. Should I authorize myself? I don’t have a seal as I’m fully digital. What kind of document do they exactly ask for? Does anyone know?

Thanks from the mountain

Quick question - been preparing for DTV APPLICATION through research and having completed 7 trips to Thailand since 2021. In your educated opinions, instead of me visiting once or twice per year on (now 60 day visa free entry) to spend time in The Kingdom and with my Thai GF of 4 years, does anyone agree that getting the DTV would make more sense for me? I am fully qualified with more than 5 years of online work easily proven (i am a copywriter) and the necessary funds as well. Thanks in advance for some sensible advice.

Hi, have tried google but got conflicting answers, am curious about the digital nomad visa. Will soon be working remotely for a UK company, am a British citizen, want to move to Thailand. Does the 180 days mean you can only stay 180 days in a single year? Or does it mean you have to do a border run every 180 days?

I run a limited company and pay myself a salary of £1,000 per month, with an annual dividend top-up of around £20,000. My total income on my tax return comes to approximately £32,000 per year.

I recently moved 500,000 THB from the company account into my personal account. I usually invest my funds personally (e.g. in stocks), and I generally keep a personal balance of around £3,000–£4,000. This time, I deposited the 500,000 THB directly into my personal account.

Will my salary and dividend structure be sufficient for DTV Workcation Visa? What’s the lowest amount of income has someone been accepted with?

Hi there! I’m applying for the DTV under the digital nomad route, Jakarta and submitted a sponsor letter from my mum along with her bank statements (she’s covering my stay as the business is new). However, I just received a request to upload my personal bank statements too.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone know if a sponsor letter is not enough for the main applicant, even though it’s an option in the application portal?

Would really appreciate any insights, especially if you’ve applied recently or had a similar case. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm preparing for my DTV digital nomad visa at the moment and will fly to Vietnam in a couple of weeks to submit my visa application. Before my current company that is based in Hong Kong and allows me to work fully remotely, I was working for a Thai company for several years that provided me with a work visa and a Thai bank account. Do you know if it's ok to submit my financial statement proving I have at least 500k baht through my Thai bank account? Or do people advise I should use my foreign bank account instead? Thank you in advance!

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? 😎
