Does anyone know what the earliest date is that you can apply for a DTV visa? I’ve been trying to find a clear answer online but there doesn’t seem to be any concrete information anywhere.
It seems like the tourist visa can be applied for up to 3 months before your intended arrival, but I’m not sure if the same rule applies to the DTV visa.
Has anyone here already applied or been approved who can confirm?
My DTV Visa Experience — From the Thai Embassy in Paris for a family of 3. Approved for all of us.
I thought I’d share my full timeline and experience applying for the Digital Nomad (DTV) visa via the Workcation category, in case it helps anyone here 👇
My Application (Main Applicant)
* Applied: August 23
* Category: Workcation
* Documents submitted:
* 3 invoices from my company
* My French business registration (Kbis)
* My company website
* My personal Revolut bank statement showing over 15,000 EUR for the last 3 months
* All the other standard documents listed on the embassy website
On September 9, they asked for an additional ID photo.
Visa approved on October 4.
So overall, it took around 6 weeks.
My Daughter’s Application
* Applied: October 5
* I submitted:
* All required documents
* A sponsor letter + my bank statement (as the main applicant)
* For “proof of presence in France,” I used her savings account statement showing her postal address
On October 15, they requested:
* A proof of accommodation (attestation d’hébergement)
* a phone bill under my name (the mother)
Visa approved on October 17
My Husband’s Application
* Applied: October 7
* He didn’t have the 15,000 EUR for 3 full months, only for 1 month,
but we decided to try with his own personal statement anyway.
On October 16, they asked for the main applicant’s bank statement (mine) showing 15,000 EUR for 3 months.
Visa approved on October 17
Conclusion
In the end, one single account with 15,000 EUR maintained over 3 months was enough for the three of us (main applicant + spouse + child).
⏳ Processing time:
* Mine: ~6 weeks
* Family: ~10–12 days
Hope this helps anyone preparing their own DTV application from France 🇫🇷✨
DTV says need 500k Thai baht for 3 months in bank account with statements. I don’t usually keep much in there. Will an investment account work to prove 500k?
Just cleared immigration at Nong Khai. The female IO busted my balls. Everything she told me right up to the second she went silent and stamped my passport said I wasn’t going to Thailand tonight.
She scans my passport and I guess she doesn’t see my DTV upon first glance and she gasped “mister you’ve been in Thailand a very long time!”
To which I responded, “I have a DTV.”
“Oh? What you do in Thailand?”
I told her, “Holiday”
She just laughed at me in what must’ve been disdain.
The. She proceeds to tell me that the policy says I cannot cross land border. Idk man. I’d advise everyone to fly or go through during the day.
Not here to fear monger, but she was honestly telling me I wasn’t going to be admitted right up until she stamped me in.
Interesting experience thus far, but I won’t be taking an international train again
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my situation
I’ve been staying in Thailand on a DTV visa while working remotely. My wife also got a DTV visa as my dependent.
Now I’ve received a full-time job offer in Bangkok, and the company will provide me a Non-B visa.
I’d like to ask
1. If I switch to a Non-B visa, can my wife continue staying in Thailand with her current DTV visa, which was applied as a dependent under mine? (Her DTV stamp doesn’t mention “dependent.”)
2. After 6 months, when she needs to do a border bounce to renew her stay, will there be any issue re-entering Thailand since my DTV will no longer exist?
3. Would it be safer to cancel her current DTV visa and apply for a Non-O dependent visa later (even though I’ll still be in my probation period under the new job)?
Thank you very much in advance for your advice and experiences!
