Hello,

I'm applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand through the Vietnamese embassy.

Could someone please clarify the requirements for proving my stay in Thailand?

Specifically, I'd like to know:

1. Can a condo contract serve as proof of stay?

2. If I use a hotel booking as proof, what is the minimum booking duration required?

3. Do I have to show return flight as well?

Thank you for your assistance!"

How can I get a Performer’s / actors “O” type visa?

Long story short.

I am a successful touring DJ , singer, and music producer (played major festivals with Snoop Dogg, SEVENTEEN, etc) actress (commercials only) , and content creator.

I am not SAG-AFRA. But I’ve booked major TV commercials.

I know in Japan for example, there’s companies like GxPlus , Halo Live, etc who sponsor foreign entertainers and YouTubers for the explicit purpose of promoting Japan soft power and allowing them to work with Japanese brands etc.

I’m guessing there are similar companies here, as I have seen foreigners in ads, commercials, and obviously DJing etc.

I have a large Asian and western following with many media articles about me to prove this for immigration sake (I know many countries ask for media coverage)

Anyways does this sound plausible?

I don’t care about the actual earning potential in baht because I still earn passively from my US / Canadian work.

Hi, my dear community,

Got a 5-year DTV visa for Thailand (digital nomad/freelancer). Applied in Penang after trying in Kuala Lumpur. Penang had more knowledgeable people who knew about freelancing.

Good luck, everyone! You deserve it, and you're an asset to any country's economy if you go there.

I received my DTV Visa today from the Vancouver Thai consulate, very helpful office and friendly staff!!! I immediately applied for my wife under my DTV Visa. I am just wondering if we are supposed to print the Visa out (hard copy), or use a cell phone or email digital copy at the BKK Airport? For those that are wondering, I originally applied as a remote worker (digital nomad), but that was declined, it was most likely my fault, but the consulate was very helpful and changed my category to "Soft Power", since I already had a dentist in Hua Hin, and need a lot of work done, I just got them to send me a letter stating my dental work needed, I already have a relationship with the dentist, so it was very straight forward, then everything was approved easily, now I am waiting for my wife's DTV Visa to be approved, I submitted our marriage certificate, bank account information in my wife's name, wife's passport bio data page, recent photo, and proof of Canadian address. This group has been very helpful, I hope I can help some of you here by sharing , any questions, just ask

I know that the visa is not accepted for any type of work. Who received the visa and would share his/hers occupation?

Hello, my boyfriend is planning to apply for the dtv. I’m wondering if his dad could be his sponsor and he shows his bank statements or he needs to have 500k in his bank account.

Thanks in advance

HCMC Embassy:

DTV visa granted (Digital Nomad category)

*Please note that this embassy has no more online appointments and I have been told they are moving to Evisa in October, but...

This was such an incredibly easy process.

I submitted:

-Application form filled in with photo attached (to save time, have it stuck on already)

-6 months bank statements showing more than 500,000 Baht

-Cover letter introducing how I make money online (I have an online teaching brand and sell digital courses / consulting)

-Resume

-Screenshots of website, YT channel and digital offers.

-Stripe transitions for August/ Sept 2024

-2 Invoices from clients

-Lease in Bangkok

-HCMC airbnb booking

-$340 (exact change)

They took everything, so not sure if I over-submitted or not.

The only hiccup was the USD cash. I had "new" notes but they weren't new enough. I had to take a grab bike to their recommended exchange shop where they easily switched my USD for newer bills for a charge of about 100k Dong for Each $100. If in doubt, just go to the exchange place and double check. The guy who helped me knew exactly what I needed and could tell which bills would be accepted or not.

The turnaround was exactly 2 days and I spent less than 30 minutes there to submit and less than 1 minute to pick up.

Good luck to everyone! This visa is definitely too good to be true, so a good idea to get it if/before anything changes.

Has anyone applied to the DTV while under the age of 50 on a pension income? I'm retired and no longer work but my retirement income will last the rest of my life. Would it be an issue to the immigration authorities?

It seems that if I craft a good cover letter for my application with detailed explanations, then its suitable for approval, but I wanted to hear from anyone whose gone through it.

edit: Thank you for the responses, everyone.

I got approved my DTV as a remote worker from Stockholm after 9 days

I originally uploaded the requested documentation:

* Proof of current address

* Bank account showing current balance of > 500,000 baht and 3 months going back (but only > 500,000 in the current month)

* Employment contract - I appended the remote work permission to the employment contract pdf

They returned and asked for pay slip as well as "Employment Certificate". After some confusion about what this certificate was exactly, I chose simply to re-upload the remote work permission and that was accepted

Finally, they asked for an explanation of how my work could be carried out online and I wrote about 10 lines explaining how my work is carried out only online

I hope this is helpful

Hi everyone! 😄 any recommendations for reputable Visa Agencies for DTV?

My partner and I travel for most of the year but are now looking to make Thailand our main base. There is so much information out there, we both want to make sure we go about this is in the right way, respect the rules and have the process be as seamless as possible.

Any recommendations would be so appreciated, there is SO much to take in😅
