Guide for Indian Passport Holders Applying for a Thailand DTV
Hey everyone! Sharing my experience applying for a Digital Thailand Visa (DTV) for myself and my dependents (wife and daughter) from India via the Chennai Consulate.
About Me
I run a business in the U.S. and create travel & drone-related YouTube videos (Nomadic Explorista). Since COVID, I’ve been working remotely and have traveled to 30+ countries (including 15+ trips to Thailand) without overstaying any visas.
My DTV Application (Individual)
I submitted my DTV application in February and chose the Chennai Consulate (the only Thai embassy in India is in Delhi, rest are consulates). Here’s what I submitted:
✅ Cover letter (explaining profession, purpose of visit)
✅ 6-month bank statement (maintaining 500,000+ THB/month)
✅ Expected flight details (searched on Skyscanner, not booked)
✅ Hotel address (where I usually stay in Phuket)
💰 Paid ₹25,000 INR via cash deposit at DBS Bank (any branch accepts it—double-check your application number before payment).
📩 Visa approved in 4 business days!

DTV Dependent Applications (Wife & Daughter)
Once mine was approved, I applied for my wife and daughter as DTV dependents with:
✅ Passport scan copies
✅ Recent photos
✅ Same bank statement & LLC registration document
✅ Cover letter (mentioning my DTV status & purpose of visit)
✅ Same flight details & hotel address
💰 Paid at DBS Bank (different branch this time).
📩 Received an email after 3 days asking for a new photo of my wife → Submitted it → Visa approved in 6 more days (total 9 days).

Final Thoughts
We love Thailand and decided to move as a family in few weeks for long term ❤️.
The process was smooth and much easier compared to the old sticker visa system. If you’re applying for a DTV from India (or as an Indian passport holder), I hope this helps!
Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Happy travels! ✈️
