DTV approved!! I wanna share my experience with the applying members. I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏.

I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. My walk-in appointment on Dec 11 and collected my passport on Dec 13.

(Note: After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)

My previous visa was in Thai language school.

I am working remote for a Singapore-based company. I applied under "workcation as a remote worker" category.

This is the list of documents I submitted

- Letter of request for visa approval

- Filled out Visa application form

- Portfolio (Resume)

- Education background and career related certificates

- Employment Contract

- Payslips since contract started

- Verification Letters from my Employer Company (employment certificate, remote work verification, visa sponsorship letter)

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA docs since my employer is Singapore-based)

- Bank statement 6-month (some say 3-month okay but I submitted 6 to be safe. I used Bangkok Bank account)

My employment contract with the Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.

I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply for DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.

I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were

- Employment contract

- Company verification letters

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)

- Bank statement

I submitted a 6-month statement of my Thai Bank account I opened with my language school visa.

The officer carefully checked transactions at the end of each month. I think it should be an account you are using regularly.

Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.

I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone.🙏🙏 🙏

And I hope everyone will get approved and live in your dream country.

Is it possible to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) without a registered business? I work as a freelancer and, due to being below the taxation minimum bracket in my home country, I’m not legally required to register a business.

I can provide the following supporting documentation:

• A portfolio showcasing my work.

• A client list with active contracts.

• Bank statements demonstrating regular income from clients.

Would this be sufficient for a successful application? I plan to apply in Ho Chi Minh City.

Hello!

Can I come on a one way ticket on DTV? Or I need to have a return ticket? Is it mandatory?

It is bit strange to anticipate & book your return ticket when you are planning to stay long term in Thailand.

Any suggestions/ workarounds will be really helpful to plan my DTV journey!

THANKS!

I applied 3 days ago for The DTV visa.These are the documents I sent in my application :

Financial evidence:

- November bank statement of my Moroccan Bank with arround 310 000 THB (in 30 november).

- Three bank statement of Payoneer bank (US Bank): 209 000 THB (in 5 December).

Employment contract or employment certificate:

- Certificate of Earning downloaded from UPWORK ( it's mentioned that I am freelancer and signed by Upwork ).

- Weekly invoices of the last three months.

Today, I received an email asking for these documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : Please upload the latest bank savings account indicating applicant's name with amount of no less than 500,000 THB. Do Not upload screenshot file.

- Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : Please upload professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad.

What is the maximum time to upload the new documents requested ?

If there is someone that experienced the same thing, please advice 🙏.

Would it be possible to get a Muay Thai visa, pay for the course, and then still do some work online while we are in Thailand? Does the visa specifically state it is for work or for play or study, and if we work at the same time would we get in trouble? Or do all the visas look the same? I may want to work to fund my life in Thailand as I study at the same time? Thanks.

Hi all, I am meant to be applying on Monday when I am back in the UK for DTV. For the financial proof I was going to transfer the required money into my bank account tonight in preparation. But now I have just seen that on my bank website I can only download a statement from 5th November - 6th December (not up to todays date). I don’t know how to get around this.. is it suffice to send a screenshot of my mobile banking? Has anyone else faced this issue? Thank you

Hey guys, can you help listing out the details of what I have to specify my employer to put on Certificate of Employment? And would it be possible if my employer do e-Signature and I later print it out?

I’m planning to apply DTV in Taipei or Jakarta, digital nomad group.

Thank you!

I’m 19, I got my DTV approved at the Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar, despite everyone saying it wasn’t possible due to me not being 20.

I’m a high earner, a part time freelancer and also work a 9-5 corporate job. I think it might have resulted in my visa approval.

I applied in person at embassy, where I had a casual interview with the Consul General. She asked about my work and travel history, but mostly, she seemed genuinely interested in my previous travels in Thailand.

The next day, I collected my approved visa and passport.

The documents I submitted included:

- Resume

- Company Certificate

- Company Extract

- Company Tax Payer Identification

- Employment Contract (Approved and Stamped by the Ministry of Labor)

- Statment by the Board of Directors supporting remote work applications.

- Formal request letter from my company to the Royal Thai Embassy

- Balance Certificate Issued by Bank

- 6 months of bank statement

It’s not a hefty process, if you align with their criteria I’m sure they won’t make it difficult for you.

Good luck with your DTV applications everyone. Everything is possible!

What are the chances of a 20 year old being eligible for the DTV? I understand that’s the minimum age, but I doubt they are going to accept it? Like how can a typical 20 year old have 500,000 Baht in his personal bank? Even if I do, do they question the source? Or should I just contact an agent or go try the soft power route?

Hi, I am applying for the DTV visa and I need clarification on the business or employment certificate. What specific information are they looking for? What documentation is required to support the application?  thanks.
