Has anyone applied for the DTV in Thailand and then left and come back to activate it? I probably won’t do this, but wondering if anyone has had success. Since I’m already here would just save a lot of time and money. I know there’s a risk that they ask for all my passport pages or proof of flights, etc.. I’m just wondering if anyone else has done it.

My friend applied outside the country but then came here and got approved while here and it was fine. She just left on a border run and stamped back in with six month DTV yesterday.

Do I need to have 500,000 baht per person for the DTV because me and ny husband with our 3 kids are planning to apply and was not sure if we each need 500,000 baht?

Hi. I have a rather urgent question. I'm already on DTV under workcation. I'm an employee for a US company. So my application that I submitted to the Thai Embassy included my employment contract and also the authorization letter from my boss. And so Thailand therefore has the name of the company I work for on record. Having worked in Thailand as an employee of a US company, could the Thai Revenue Department argue that the company has a Permanent Establishment (PE) in Thailand and therefore will want to go after them for payment of any Thai corporate income taxes?

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa and would really appreciate your input.

I’m working with an agent and all my documents have already been approved by their legal department. I just want to clarify one thing before applying:

My stay history in Thailand:

• Entered Thailand in July

• Stayed 2 months + 30-day extension

• Then did my first visa run

• My current visa ends on the 6th

All of this was before the new rules that started in November.

My question:

With the new restrictions and stricter entry rules, could my stay history cause any issues when applying for the DTV or when entering Thailand again after I receive it?

Would appreciate insights from anyone with experience. Thanks! 🙏

Pakistan PP: entered from DMK with family. Handed over all passports, printed visa. TDAC filled with 2 months for out of country flight. No questions asked, stamped for 6 months.

Hi guys is anyone here knows about the new roles for DTV holders ? , after the 180 days we can do border run or we must go by air ?

I’m planning to apply for my DTV from Colombo Sri Lanka. I transfered the money to my personal account on september 16th.

That means I can provide a 500k+ bankstatement for the following months:

September (only closing statement of 500k +)

October (start 500k+ end 500k+)

November (start 500k+ 24th november 500k+)

Is this enough?

Do I provide all my bank statements and transaction or only closing and opening balance?

I got my DTV 🥳🥳🥳

I wanted to share my experience in detail to help others.

I got a Workation DTV visa from Ho Chi Minh. If you go to Vietnam to apply be aware you need to apply to the embassy based on where you stay in Vietnam. I’ve attached the list as this is only available when you first apply.

My situation is a bit complicated as I have a few companies so I only told them about the two relevant ones. One I used as a sponsor that has high reserves and the other I pay myself a salary from. One mistake I made was thinking the 500,000 baht should be in the sponsors bank account. It must be in your personal account but when I got asked to evidence this in the additional documents they requested they accepted that I had transferred the money on the day. I wrote an explanation with my bank statement and it was fine.

One thing that makes the application hard is that the evidence for each request must be one single PDF. I used I love PDF to merge and compress my documents which worked brilliantly.

I wrote a very comprehensive document on my businesses with pictures, links and screenshots to really show that they are legitimate. I also merged the company registration document and accounts to show the business is bina fide. I still got asked to provide a Company overview showing details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements. I did this for both companies along with evidence of registration, directors etc.

I also got asked for:

Pictures of every page of my passport

My personal bank account 6 month statements

So put in as much as possible.

Also book somewhere online where so you can provide it as evidence of being in Vietnam and also your flight.

Good luck everyone it's still possible just put everything together maticulously.

Got my DTV in Sydney Australia yesterday. Lodged on 6 November explained that my existing visa expires 19 November.

Stayed at pending document check until 20 November. Got a email 21 November Approved.

No problems with the application. No additional documents. Got the DTV on the Softpower platform Thai Cooking classes with House of taste 6 months.

Thanks for the advise read on this forum.

Hello everyone, on November 21st yesterday, I received my DTV visa in Vientiane, Laos. It only took me 5 working days from application to approval, which is amazing speed. On the same day, I successfully entered Thailand through Friendship Bridge with my DTV visa. Refusal of entry is only for frequent Border runners .not for DTV holders. I hope this information is helpful to everyone
