I'm about to apply for a DTV workation. I own a demolition business in Canada and primarily work remotely on my computer, handling invoices, planning, and pricing. What should I submit for these two steps?
Hi there, I'm about to apply this month for the DTV Workation from SPAIN (I fulfil the economic and remote work requirements), to relocate before mid-2026.
However, my couple will apply in a couple of months from now, and may struggle a bit more for the economical requirements. I'm totally supporting her and have funds for living both, but not sure if this is considered when she applies later (we're not married). I'm periodically sending money to her in small batches via joint-account to help her meet the criteria. She's self-employed in Spain and runs online shops, but sales are not going so good recently, and her income is not so high these days.
Do you think she may struggle to get accepted for the DTV Workation as having low income now; or source of minimum funds be challenged?
In case she gets denied, should be an option for her to reapply short after but for SOFT POWER instead? The thing is that we would stay for 7-10 months in Thai, but we will live in different places during this period, as want to know different regions. I don't have much knowledge about the DTV soft-power requirements. Any help will be much appreciated 🙇 Thxx!
The first one is, I currently have a DTV workation, and in 3 weeks it will be 90 days since I arrived in the country. I've heard that it needs to be declared. I am currently in Chiang Mai; is this done at the same place as the visa extension? Also, do I need to prepare anything in advance, or should I just show up with my passport, and that's enough?
The second question: Once I leave the country and decide to come back, do I still need to prove I have 500k baht in my bank account, or is there no more check?
A brief question for content creators / media editors on DTV who bring their own video equipment for workation (by plane): did you go through the red lane and declare everything, or did you take the regular „nothing to declare” route like every other tourist does?
I know the theory, I’ve read Thai customs and agent’s websites. I know technically one should declare anything worth more than THB 20k, but in practice you don’t see every single foreigner declaring their freaking iPhones…
I'm planning to apply for a DTV workation in Hanoï in the next few days.
Here is the rationale: I have spent the last 9 months in Thailand doing pretty much nothing, travelling and diving, and catching up with my friends (I used to work in Bkk for 3 years with work permit).
I do have a french company that I have opened last year but never used it.
I want to start my activities now online but have no history.
For all I read, you all had a legitimate business before requesting DTV, so I'm a bit concerned.
