【Question about DTV ( Destination Thailand Visa )】

Hello, I'd like to ask for some advice

① Do I need to have the 500k thb in a Thai bank account?

Is it okay an account in another country?

② What is the minimum income required to be eligible for the DTV?

I just started working as a freelancer this week and my monthly income is only $100.

Until last month, I was earning $2,000 a month as an office worker and I have $40,000 in my bank

Could you please share your experience?

I have a DTV . Am considering studying a Thai Language Course. Would I need to change my DTV to Educational Visa, if I was too?

📌 Question about applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa)

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for some advice 🙏

I hold a French passport and I’m planning to apply for Thailand’s DTV Digital Nomad Visa.

I’m not sure about one thing:

👉 Do I need to apply only in my nationality country (France)?

👉 Or can I also apply in a country where I hold a long-term resident permit?

👉 Or is it possible to apply at any Thai Embassy/Consulate worldwide?

If anyone here has personal experience with this, I’d really appreciate your insights. Thank you so much!

Update and question please

Hi everyone, just looking for some clarification and to vent a little too! 😅

I posted yesterday about being asked to attend an interview in London for my visa application. Since I live on an island near London (not in it), I had to book a last-minute flight last night and hotel just to attend — which cost me over £400.

✅ I attended the interview — it lasted about 5 minutes.

Now, I’ve received a follow-up email.

My questions are:

• Does the 10-working-day processing time start from today (the day of the interview)?

• Is there any chance it could be approved before the 10 days? And I will be able to go on the 24th?

When I applied on the 5th of September, I was then asked for proof of flights to Thailand, which I then booked and provided — my flight is on the 24th of September. I honestly thought that would leave plenty of time.

Before anyone asks — no, the flight isn’t flexible (my fault, I know). But it still feels crazy that it might take this long, especially after attending in person.

Feeling a bit stressed and deflated after all the effort and cost involved just to be left waiting 😞

Curious

What are the cons of a DTV versus retirement visa? I know the bank account issues as one is technically a tourist but are there other cons?

As an American filing for Thailand's DTV based on me being an online seller (Amazon, ebay...), which country around Thailand is it best for me to apply?

I guess I'm asking where is it more likely to be approved easily? Vietnam? North, South? Or some other countries work better?

it doesnt matter what size your print your DTV : A4 or compact passport size like me 😆. when it printed, it would help the immigratipn staff to recognize and check into the system. Some people dont print it out also no problem. As long as you got your DTV and welcome to Thailand, buddy! 😍🇹🇭

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if a network marketing business qualifies for DTV? Thanks.

I have my DTV. Do I still need to apply for the online Thai Visa Arrival Card? Yikes, $79!

Hi I'm in Indonesia waiting for my DTV how long on average is it taking at the moment?
