Has anyone applied for a DTV from Turkey and obtained a visa?

Hello everyone! Is there anyone here who received the DTV without an income? Because they live off savings and crypto?

Smooth first DTV (workcation) entry at BKK last night.

I was approved easily after 75% of folks in this group advised against applying.

This was based on my not having regular income but I'd like to encourage anyone in a similar situation who's considering applying to pay close attention to the OR clause in requirement 5.

Basically if you can showcase a professional portfolio (this can be assets, not just freelance work) that demonstrates "digital nomad status" then you can be considered if you meet the other requirements. You just need to show you actively work on it in a professional capacity.

It's worth noting that 'digital nomad' doesn't just mean freelance work with invoices etc.

Everything isn't black and white, if you have merit, you can be accepted if you make your case properly.

Hello, I plan on applying for DTV visa with my LLC.

What kind of requirements will I run into with bringing my dependents. Do me and my spouse need to be married? any financial requirements for them ?

And also I wish to bring a female employee with us. Can I bring her as well and what would the requirements be? Thanks

Hi , I’m planning to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from Pakistan. I hold a Wise account with over £12,000 maintained in GBP for the past year.

Can I use my Wise bank statement as valid proof of funds ?

Got approved for DTV in Japan

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in this group before, but I wanted to share that my DTV application was approved today and I’d like to give back by sharing some details of my process, in case it helps others.

* Nationality: Japanese

* Current residence: Tokyo

* Visa type: Workation (Freelance designer) My husband started working in Bangkok in April. His company does not allow partners to earn professional income—even from Japan—under the dependent visa.

1st submission – Tokyo – Canceled ❌

* Submitted: June 11th / Canceled: June 17th

* Reason for rejection: The "Title" field was left blank. I think this was due to writing "Ms." instead of selecting “Mrs."—though I’m not entirely sure. Apparently, the system doesn’t accept a blank field.

After reading that the Tokyo embassy tends to be strict, I contacted the Fukuoka consulate to ask if I could apply there while living in Tokyo. They told me it depends on the person in charge, but that I was free to try—so I did.

2nd submission – Fukuoka – Approved ✅

* Submitted: July 23rd / Approved: July 26th

* No additional documents or interviews were requested.

Documents submitted:

* A motivation letter explaining why I want to obtain the DTV and how important it is for me to continue my career while staying with my husband

* Bank transaction statements showing over 500,000 THB for more than 3 months (from both personal and business accounts)

* Last year’s tax return and tax payment certificate

* CV with a list of clients

* Business registration document

* Two client contracts

* Professional portfolio (12 projects)

Hope this helps others navigating the process. And thank you again to everyone who has shared their experience here—it helped me a lot.

Am thinking of applying for a dtv. Is the requirement tk have 500k baht in a Thai bank or in a foreign bank to that value - as I understand you cannot even open a bank account over there with dtv.

HI,

I'm traveling around Europe, currently in Finnland and plan with my family to go to Thailand in Nov.

Would need to apply for the DTV, but don't have a residency in no country. What would be your next steps?

Hello is filming interviews in Thailand ok on a DTV?

No income is generated.

DTV is half baked Thai initiative to attract young and skilled.

It is all about the tax they pay. Their home countries would not let them go just like that, like on a cruiser in international waters, floating for years, where do not have to pay any tax.

I would not be surprised if DTV gets scrapped within months.
