Hello, any stories of successful (or even unsuccessful) applications for DTV in Manila? I'm wondering if the embassy there is a quick turnaround like Jakarta or strict like Taiwan seems to be? I've searched the group and not much posts.

I can’t find much information about the renewal process of the DTV Visa.

From what I understand, you don’t have to leave Thailand after your first 180days (you can renew it at the immigration office)

But do we need to go out the country every 180 days after the 1st renewal?

Thank you

Is it easy to rent a condo with DTV Visa for a few months?

For example periods of 2-3 months since I plan to stay 6 months max to avoid being a tax resident and I am thinking of splitting those 6 months during different periods of the year.

Are the prices almost as good as long term rental?

Hello Everyone,

I got my visa approved today.

Few questions about this.

1:- What documents should I carry with me when I travel?

2:- I am already having Valid Visit visa(Single entry), Would that be problem?

3:- i want to enter on my DTV Visa.

4:- I want to open bank account which bank should I go ? And which city.

5:- Should I carry Hotel bookings along with me?

I will be traveling with my wife , as she is having valid visit visa.

Thanks in Advance.

I had my DTV approved in Vietnam on the 29th of November, 2024. I've been living back in Bangkok since the 4th of December. I'm flying to Bali tomorrow.

1. Is there anything to prepare for the flights in and out or easy enough with multi-entry good to go?

2. I suppose no need for any 90 day report stuff as I won't be in Thailand for this length of time?

Thanks

Question about the DTV application in Vietnam (I will probably apply in Ho Chi Minh), has anyone shown proof of funds in a savings account instead of a current account, and was this accepted? And did you need to produce 3 months of bank statements or 6? Thanks! It's been super confusing to work out with some certainly what we'll need

Hi Everyone!

Is there anyone applying DTV with Muay Thai class / cooking class in Bangkok?

Any first time visa holders with DTV have success opening a bank account? If so, which bank and how did you go about it?

I am planning to apply the DTV visa as a freelancer in February. I'm from Myanmar, and currently, currently I'm holding an ED Visa. Either in Hanoi or Myanmar, I intend to apply for the DTV visa. Could I ask you some questions?

1. As my clients are based in Myanmar, my fees are in MMK. I use a reliable unofficial money exchanger (known as Hundi in Myanmar) to convert MMK to THB. Will my 500,000 Thai Baht be recognised as formal evidence of funds?

2. My clients are small business owners and film production companies. They don’t use letterheads for payslips; they simply transfer payments through mobile banking. Is it enough by providing screenshots of the bank transfers and bank statements from Myanmar? Or if not, how can prepare official payslips in this case?

3. In your opinion, which country is the best option for freelancers to apply for the DTV visa?

All of your advice would be helpful a lot for this process.

Thank You

Hello Guys me and my Girlfriend hold DTV visa and we are Ethiopian passport holders. We are in Thailand currently and I wanted to take my Girl firend to switzerland and wanted to sumbit our files here VFS while we are in Thailand.

My concern is does holding DTV visa make me elegiable to apply? Would they accpect my application? Or they only accpect Thai citizen only?

Please any advice
