Has anyone had a METV then applied fort the DTV ? Is there anything need to do like cancel the METV?

Malaysia penang DTV runner got?

In an interview with The Nation newspaper the new Foreign Minister confirmed that the DTV will continue under the new government.

Has anybody from the US applied for a DTV using their investment accounts?

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.

Just had a ridiculous experience with the Thai embassy in Prauge. They only allow to submit an application electronicly and say it will take them 30-45 days to process.

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😅

Just got my DTV from Hanoi offices. The ladies were super cool, helped us pull everything together.

I gave 7 months of bank statements and invoices, plus the below.

I definitely suggest drafting a letter that explains all the documents provided, and I got both of the companies I freelance for to put together a short contract and had letters from both companies stating my role and how long I had been with each company

No appointment necessary at this point, we just walked in

I am hoping a remote worker on here has managed to get their DTV through the online application into the London embassy.. I have approval to work a cycle of 3 months Thailand and then 1 month in London, but 2 questions/requests:

1: I have just deposited significantly more than the 500k baht in both a U.K. bank and WISE, how long did London need to see the balance?

2: Would you be willing to share privately or at least give a summary of the employment letter details that was successfully accepted as proof of remote employment? My company will not update my contract but will provide a side letter and word it as I need..

I will work in Thailand from end of September until early November so can delay applying for DTV until November if I need to show balance for 2 months and go on the usual 60 day visa this time..

Many thanks…

Here's my experience with the Thai Consulate in LA for my DTV:

Applied on August 16.

Further requests more docs on Aug 23.

Approved on Sept 12.

Any requests for extra docs, expect 5 extra business days as that is written on the website. Just know that.

Very easy. I applied as a freelancer. Lists of things I've provided:

1. My main portfolio website and 4 projects and impressive case studies I've recently done related to my recent and current clients.

2. Last year's tax document

3. My joint bank account showing the total of $30k (shows my address, name, and my husbands name). Along with statements of 1 month only.

4. Provided 6 recent invoices for my freelance work and for extra, showed the total paid invoices cost starting beginning of January of this year to Aug 16, as proof that money is flowing in consistently.

5. Proof of freelance contract employment.

My husband just turned in his application for marriage affiliation with me for DTV. That should be an automatic, and easy acceptance.

I hope this helps!
