B4 ppl comment yes I’ve searched for these answers in the group.

My question is for those who applied for the DTV from Spain but don’t hold a Spanish passport. I have a Spanish nomad visa and ID for Spain, tax records etc. but my passport is Australian.

My questions are;

1-The criminal record cleanrance I got was date early 2024, so I need to request a new one for 2025 for DTV Thailand?

2-Im freelance but the main company that I have a letter authorizing Iand stating I have permission to work remotely indefiniteley that letter was dated for the Spanish visa in 2024, do I need to get an updated one for 2025?

3-The contract I have with that client was made and dated 2022 which also says there is no end date for this contract. For Thai DTC would I need to get an updated contract dated and signed for 2025? Or would the original contract be suffice?

4-I imagine I need to get my Spanish digital nomad visa approval translated from Spanish to English to give in my Thai application, should I do that through the Australian embassy, or any other easier options that would be suffice?

5-Also I imagine I need to translate my Spanish tax document and receipt from Spanish to English, once again any recommendations who to go through?

6- Do any documents need to be sworn translated by someone if so who in Spain? Or should I do that through the Australian embassy.

7-Anyone have any opinion on whether it would be better putting my application through Thai Embassy Madrid or Thailand Consulate Barcelona? ( I live in Barcelona) but which ever has more approval rate and speedy approval would be best.

8-I saw somewhere an intent letter needs to be written by me, what should I include in this letter?

9- Apart from bank statements, invoices, e-visa, my clients company good standing cert, my portfolio of experience in my industry, my CV, Full passport photos, NIE/TIE, is there anything else I’m forgetting?

10-Do I need to get private health insurance and if so does that need to be done before my application and included in it? If so any insurance recommendations?

11- Do I need to book a flight before I put my application in?

12- Do I need to book accomodation and include that in my application? If so what is the minimum length of accom booking they like to see?

13- Lastly I’ll be bringing my cat with me, she will have her passport, rabies vax and all other vax and paperwork up to date, do I need to mention she will be coming with me in the application?

Thank you for reading this and any advice assistance you can give. 🙏

Is there any video where I can see stepwise process for dtv thailand ?

I need stepwise clear guidance so I do without any mistake

For your reference - I was able to open account at ttb Bank.

Following documents were requested:

- Passport

- Thai Driving License

- E-Visa

- Translated Working Contract from Homecountry

- Lease Agreement

- Certificate of Residence

- Tabien Baan Copy with signature from my landlord

I think these are the general requirements of the bank, which should apply to any branch. So you can just walk in any branch, in case they haven’t heard about DTV just tell them to call their headquarter for more information.

Hi! I just joined this group. I just wanted to say, it is odd to join a group for giving advice/sharing experiences if you find people seeking advice/sharing information "stupid" or "inept." I've refrained from asking questions because the aggression in some of the responses is unhinged and unnecessary. Hope this helps 🫶

Hello All..

Today I got my DTV (digital nomad) visa approved, and just wanted to share a few “takeaways” with this group.

First thanks to all the contributors on this topic over the last few months – from the many posts, I pieced together how to approach the visa application process.

Brief background: I reside in Ireland (Irish resident & passport); I have a small, limited company of which I am the sole director / shareholder & employee. I provide IT services to SME’s but always remotely (rarely on client site). I have a modest but active website.

Some lessons learnt: From the posts on this group, I was ready to (and actually HAD) prepare a document with lots and lots of documentation (client contracts / screen shots of code / invoices paid, etc..). BUT – you can only upload one document (PDF / JPG) for each “section” required. And the limit is 3MB. I prepared the document in MS Word, then saved as PDF. When it came time to actually upload, I had to edit the document twice to remove vast sections of the document to eventually trim it down to less than 3MB. In the end, I submitted the following (under the “Employment” requirements) in this order (all in the one PDF):

1. A letter addressed to the Royal Thai Embassy (as was requested). This was printed on Company Letterhead, printed and signed by me as Managing Director. In the letter I stated that Mr {my name} was the sole shareholder, director and employee of {Company Name}; that the Company was engaged in the delivery of digital services and that Mr. {my name} was required to work remotely. It was spread across a few paragraphs but that is the essence of the letter. I then signed it myself as the Managing Director and scanned it. Yes – it was a strange experience referring to myself as a 3rd party.

2. The rest of the document was as follows:

- Certificate of Incorporation

- Company Corporation tax summary page (23/24)

- Company P&L Screen shot (from online accounting software)

- Payslip for me for July 24

- Company Bank Account screen shot.

- Company Website screen shots and website address.

Needless to say, I am delighted to have this visa. I am travelling in October and had initially planned to do the TV with extension, and maybe leave mid January. Now I might stay until March - not sure, but I love having the flexibility.

The reason that I went down the DTV route is that, from reading “between the lines” in this group, I am not convinced that the DTV (in its current form) is set in stone – I suspect (just an opinion) that over the next 6-12 months it might get tightened up somewhat. So I felt it best to get on board while I can.

Thanks again – I will answer any reasonable questions that I am able to.
