I got the DTV from Paris in less than 20 days with no additional request! Got a lot of tips from here so I wanted to share:

- I carefully followed the instructions on the Paris embassy website. Each embassy got slightly different requests, just follow them carefully

- Less is more. Don't explain or give more than what they ask, easier for you and for them

Documents shared:

- I'm an auto-entrepreuneur (freelance) I wrote a letter in French + English to explain my activity and shared a link to my website

- Proof of address in France I shared a mobile phone invoice

- Bank statement only showing the correct balance (over 15 000 EUR) no need for 3 months statement etc...

- Proof of registration of my self-employment issued by INSEE in France

- Invoice from one of my client + proof of payment received in my business account

- ​​Screenshot of the “About” page from my website showcasing my activity, including my full name, first name, and photo

It was quick and easy, don't overthink it just provide EXACTLY what they ask at your local embassy!

Can you still work remotely under a soft power visa? I am not planning on applying under workcation just wanted to know if it’s legal to work remotely(not for anyone in Thailand, but for a foreign company) later while still under the soft power visa?

Hi team. I’m a Fifo (Fly in fly out of Australia) working a 2 on 3 off roster. Other than 2 years of Covid I been living in Thailand for over 13years coming in and out on a tourist Visa via Suvarnbhumi AP, never a problem…

I’m keen for a DTV for various reasons including but not limited too, long stays other than my 3 weeks off, drivers license renewal for longer than 12 months, accounts and personnal reasons.

My question is, has anyone FiFo here or know of anyone FiFo been successful with this DTV?

Thanks in advanced 💙

So now the question is..upon getting the dtv while in Thailand how soon do I need to fly out to activate it?

Hey guys 👋🏻 can i still attach my spouse to my visa as a dependent when applying through muay thai classes? Should I buy a new class after 6 month or provide any proofs that I still learn muay thai?

I found the process an absolute doddle and had my DTV processed quickly. I'm not seeing much in the way of what people are doing regarding Thai tax laws, however. Are people just getting their 180 day stamp each time they enter and not worrying about it? Or are most people residing elsewhere for part of the year too?

Just intrigued to know how people are navigating this.

Good luck to all applying 🙌🏽

Can you link a PayPal account to a Thai bank being foreigner with the DTV?

What questions do you have that haven’t been answered about the DTV?

I’m speaking with a government official this week and will discuss the DTV

Let me know

Has anybody applied for the DTV after having already been working remotely in Thailand but on the visa exemption?

Hello,

Do I need return ticket to board the flight to Cambodia (phnom penh)?

As I was planning to fly from Thailand to apply DTV, and I might probably use the border land travel route to go back in to the Thailand for new experiences.

Wondering anybody know
