DTV Visa Madrid consulate on Mexican passport as a remote worker.

Applied on August 4, three days later I got an email from the consulate asking me for a letter in which I explained how intended to earn money while I’m in Thailand, they also asked for a document called “Vida laboral” (social security enrolment confirmation and history of contributions).

I replied immediately and they got back to me a couple of hours after that asking me for tickets from Europe to Thailand. The consulate approved my visa in Friday evening, took 5 working days and entered chiang mai today, no questions asked at immigration.

hello

I understand that I need to keep 500,000 baht in my account for more than 3 months.

But I'm short by about 11 days

Can I still apply for a visa and be accepted?

Or should I wait until the 3 months are up before applying for a visa?

If I were to apply for a visa, 500,000 baht would be left in my account for 79 days.

Please help me guys

I'm a US citizen and have visited Thailand many times over the years, always with the visa-exempt 30/60 day stamp. But times have changed and I want a long-term visa and I'm considering all options, including the DTV Muay Thai option. My question concerns age: I'm 60+ and worried that if I apply for the DTV Muay Thai, it will be denied based on my age. Anyone else had this issue?

Hey lovely community members 👋

I run an online business and my account balance meets the DTV requirement - however, I can't leave Thailand for longer than 4 or 5 days.

Quick question: Is it possible to enter a country around Thailand to apply for DTV visa, and leave after a few days - and then once the DTV visa processing is done, come back to that country and go back into Thailand on DTV visa? So 2 quick visits in total.

Thanks in advance for all your feedback folks!

I want to move to Nong Khai, Thailand with a DTV, using the medical treatment - soft power option. It has very been difficult to get good information. I've contacted the hospital in Nong Khai but is there a better first step?

If I apply for a DTV Muay Thai visa, does the gym I apply with matters? Shall it be « DTV certified » or could I apply with the gym I like?

Is it easier to be granted the Muay thai or Cooking DTV? Which one is more expensive?

I was planning on getting the Muay Thai DTV, but the cost would be 49k bahts (Muay thai class) + 350$ (application fee) which I find expensive

Hi, has anyone on a DTV soft power visa been asked to show proof of ongoing classes when reentering after the 6 month period? And how did you handle the situation if yes. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been digging into the latest updates on visas for Thailand, especially around DTV and retirement options. Some of the changes seem small on paper but could make a big difference for those of us planning longer stays. Curious if anyone here has gone through the process recently and noticed anything new or unexpected?

On a side note, while sorting out my long-term plans here, I’ve also been keeping an eye on the US stock market. With all the swings lately, it’s been tricky deciding whether to hold or move things around. Feels like the same kind of patience and timing we need for visa applications.

Would love to hear your experiences
