I see that the new TDAC form requires details on your outbound flight, which makes sense for tourists. What do we do in case of DTV, and we do not have an outbound flight at the time of entering the country?

Hello, I want to apply for the DTV in germany because I will be there to visit my family before going to Thailand. I'm a german citizen but I'm not registered in germany for more than 2 years as I'm travelling the world. Now I read that they want an official proof of registration of the residence in germany.

Is anybody here who has the same situation and any experience with this?

Update: Thank you for the help so far. For all who understand german I attach a screenshot of the website of the embassy of Berlin. I think it's easier to understand what I mean.

Thank you in advance.

On The TDAC do you have to put flight details an do dates when you are coming in on the DTV? I’m not that keen on booking a flight 6 months in advance when I’m not 100% sure of my plans.

Quick anecdote arriving in CNX for the first time on a new DTV (workation from Hanoi). Showed them the visa on my phone, IO looked at it, called someone else over to look, asked me if it was my first time entering on a DTV, and stamped me for 180 days. Easy. Might not be too interesting to you...but I kept seeing horror stories of people getting interrogated on arrival and wanted to counterbalance some of the FUD. (Doesn't hurt to be prepared though; I had all the documents from my DTV ready on my phone.)

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV and had a question. Would it be allowed to hire someone locally in Thailand to assist with ongoing tasks related to my remote work?

It wouldn’t be employment under a Thai company, just freelance support for my own work, which I do independently.

Has anyone done something similar or know if this is permitted under the DTV? Appreciate any guidance!

Hello,

I activated my DTV on April 5, 2025, and it's valid until October 2, 2025, according to the 180-day period allowed.

However, I temporarily left Thailand before the expiration date of October 2.

I left Thai territory to return to my country on May 5, 2025.

I'm returning to Thailand on May 28, 2025. Are there any steps I need to take in this case ?

I saw that there was a re-entry permit application to avoid losing my visa. Do I need to apply?

Thank you in advance.

I applied on the 3rd of May here in Bali . Anyone else waiting on DTV in Bali? I applied as a freelancer. Is there any more holidays or is yesterday it?

I’m planning to move to Bangkok in January. Is the Thai Privilege Card worth purchasing as a visa? Or would i be better off just doing the DTV and renewing after 5 years?

I'm doing my DTV with a Lanna Cooking Classes, and after get back to Thailand I'll have 6 months of class with the place. So my question is: I need to keep doing this cooking classes for all long of the 5 years? (or some activity during the whole period of 5 years?)

I have a saving account at my rabo bank in netherlands it's called tijdslotsparen and if I want to withdraw money I have to wait 3 monts to get it.

It has double the money I need for the dtv

Is this account ok for the dtv?
