Thinking about applying for a DTV. I have 2 dependent children. Does each dependent also need to pay the approximately 10000 baht fee or does my fee included the dependents?
Hello I have a question and I hope you guys can enlighten me.
I’m currently in the process of getting my DTV (if approved) and I then would like to sponsor my wife and baby daughter. But I was told by many people that my 11 months old baby do not need a visa until she turns 2. I would just like to confirm whether that’s true, because if that’s the case I would only need to get my wife a dependent visa and I guess it’ll make the process even much easier. Thank you for the help.
If I have a money market account with a debit card and a checkbook does anyone know if this can count as money that needs to be shown as available in the bank for the DTV?
I hold a METV and i Applied for DTV in Jakarta and the embassy asked me to contact the issuing embassy to cancel the METV. I already contacted the issuing embassy and they say they can’t cancel the visa. I’ve seen some people managed to cancel their METV. Could you please share how you managed that? Could you please share what proof of voided visa looks like so i can share with the issuing embassy?
Seeing Tons of FUD on FB is it true people with DTV are being rejected and turned around at certain ports of entry or even given just 60 days instead of 180???
I'm a 46 year old woman from UK. I'm planning on moving to Thailand on DTV soon and looking to rent a property for myself for 3, 6 or 12 months. (I may move around Thailand but coming to Phuket first). I've heard there are lots of scams with renting property.
Can I ask what I need to check in terms of documents, information, credentials, bank accounts, ID, qualifications and anything else to make sure both the agent and landlord are legitimate and my rent is going to the correct account etc?
Edit. I'm aware to not transfer online and wait to view and meet the person. My question is related to documents, info ID as above.
Arrived in Bangkok on November 29 for my second entry under the DTV Digital Nomad visa. I came in from Madrid after spending 90 days traveling through Europe and Latin America.
Entry was completely smooth—about 1 minute at immigration, no questions at all. Got the full 6-month stamp again. Sharing the update in case it helps others.
Hello everyone...Im applying for DTV from US(Florida). I have all required documents based on Royal Thia site. Besides a cover letter are there any additional documents I should include?
I’m flying to Hanoi next week to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) – workation route.
Here’s my situation with the bank statement (the famous 500k THB for 3+ months rule):
• I run a fully online e-commerce business registered in my home country.
• I am the sole owner and only person with access/signatory.
• The company bank account is under my full legal name + “Company Ltd” (or LLC, whatever the equivalent is) at the end.
• This account has had well above 500k THB (actually way more) sitting there for over 3 months, and the turnover in the last 6–8 months is in the multiple millions of baht (lots of incoming and outgoing payments from platforms, suppliers, ads, etc.).
• I use this company account for pretty much everything tax-wise: rent, internet, food, transportation, travel – all legally declared as business expenses in my country because the business is 100% online/location-independent.
I do have a personal account, but it has basically zero history and almost no money in it right now.
My question to people who already went through the DTV process (especially in Hanoi or other “strict” embassies):
1. Have you successfully used a company bank account that has your personal name + “Ltd/LLC/Co. Ltd” at the end? Did they accept it without any drama?
2. Or would you play it safe and transfer the money to a clean personal account now (even if that personal account will only have the money + transfer for a couple of weeks before I print the statement)?
I know some people say “only personal account” but I’ve also seen recent reports of company accounts being accepted as long as your name is clearly on it and you can prove you’re the sole owner.
What would you do in my shoes? Leave it in the very solid company account (tons of history, huge turnover, balance never dropped below the requirement) or rush a transfer to personal and lose most of the transaction history?
Appreciate any recent experiences – especially Hanoi consulate!
