To those of you who have successfully applied for the soft power option of the DTV what did you provide as proof of "Document indicating current location"? In the past for Tourist eVisa applications I have provided an electricity or water bill.

A reliable cooking school that is registered to do the necessary DTV visa paperwork….and how much is the price..??

Hi everyone. So I'm applying for DTV in Cambodia. I'm aware from the posts it takes about 2 weeks. I already planned a trip to Cambodia for 10 days (7 business days). But I planned the trip before I decided to apply for DTV. It was only after I planned the trip, that I started looking at the DTV. And I thought since I'm going to Cambodia anyhow, I might as well just apply there. So my question is, should I go ahead and extend my hotel and flight departure from Cambodia NOW? Or maybe I wait till I get there and see how things go and then extend if needed? Because even tho most get approval in about 10 days, I did see a few who got approved in less days. Any advice you guys can provide will be appreciated. Thank yoiu!

Hi Guys I entered on DTV last month.

I am already staying in Thailand for 1 month and going to extend my vacation for more 2 months. I heard we have to do reporting if we are staying more than 90 days.

Let me know if I have to do 90 days reporting and whats the process? 🙏

The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

How much is the Muay Thai course to get DTV

I entered for the first time on my dtv soft power, cooking classes. I was questioned but it was pretty reasonable and was not asked to show any documents.

She asked if I was a chef, I said no and just that I love thai food.

I do wonder if it'll be like this every time I come back in.

I actually do love to cook and I am prepared to keep taking these throughout!

Hi all. If it wasn’t for this group I wouldn’t be aware of some key bits of info when travelling to and staying in Thailand - many thanks to those who contribute.

The one thing that’s got me is the 90 reporting process. I’ve just been given the dtv visa and will travel in a few weeks but I’ve never received any info telling me about any rules and processes I need to follow. Just wondering what else I might have missed.

Is anyone able to share a link that describes anything I need to be doing while using my visa?

Also interested in anyone’s view on how I’ve missed the 90 day reporting. Should I have been following an official site / page?

Appreciate anything you have to offer.

have a question about the DTV I am Medically retired but not 50. I have more then the required monthly income and I have the required amount in the bank am I able to apply for the DTV. Also does any one know a trusted agency.

This group was helpful when i prepared my application so i wanted to return the favor and share my experience with applying for DTV in phnom penh, cambodia.

I am a self employed developer and so I applied for workcation on Friday march 28 around 9pm. Visa approved today April 11. Exactly 14 days (2 weekends included) from application to approval.

I was previously on a spouse extention for 3 years and before that on ed visas. This seems to have not been an issue at all.

I was not asked for anything extra. My visa status was updated to "pending approval" on march 31 (first day after the weekend) and then went to "Approved" today. No news or changes in between.

Documents submitted:

I am a bit of an over preparer so I spend a good 4 days preparing 3 pdfs. Each pdf had a clickable table of contents and I highlighted a lot important information.

1. Proof of location.

- Scan of passport stamp arriving in cambodia

- I asked for payment receipt in the hotel and included it.

- Also included my e-boarding pass to cambodia

- added a cover letter to explain I flew from Bangkok to cambodia and that I understand I have to stay in cambodia until I receive a decision

2. Proof of financials

I flew out of Thailand on the same day that I applied for the visa. Flew in the afternoon and applied in the evening. Before leaving thailand, I went to kbank branch and asked for signed statements and a signed cover letter stating I have 500 000 baht in the account on the same day as the application. I provided 4 months statement but only 1 good month had the 500 000 in it. Before that the balance was just over 100 000. I do use the bankaccount daily or so they can see that.

- Signed and stamped bank statement from thai kbank

- signed and stamped cover letter from kbank

- payslips covering the same 4 months of the statement

- a coverletter in which I explain where my money comes from and also included a currency conversion table so they easily could understand the payslips in euro vs the bank statements in baht.

3. Proof of business.

I included a 27 page pdf to proof I have my own company. This pdf included:

- Coverletter of almost 3 pages.

- Employment contract to myself, signed by myself and it stated that I am allowed to work remote which I also highlighted.

- Proof of business incorporation in estonia.

- Result of my company financials of the last 5 years.

- Portfolio overview with a lot of screenshots and explanations and links to online sites to proof everything I was saying.

- Screenshots of my website and customer testimonials.

Super smooth for me in cambodia. Just have to be aware that it will take around 2 weeks. If you are fine with that then cambodia seems like the place to apply from.

Cheers.
