A question regarding the 5 year DTV Visa.

You can get one if you sign up for Thai cooking courses. How long has the course got to last?

Once you have finished the course is the DTV still valid or do you have to get another visa to stay in the Kingdom?

I just recently registered my business and am not going to be operating until later in the year. So I don't have any evidence apart from the business registration. Is that enough evidence of self employment to get the DTV visa?

Besides that, I can meet all other requirements (e.g. 500,000k in the bank).

On January 12th, I left Phuket airport for the second time with DTV visa, after 26 days in Thailand. The officer spent a long time reading something on the screen and asked me what my activity in Thailand was. I replied that, as a teleworker, I had worked those days for my company in Spain. Why this question? Has anything changed with DTV?

I would like to know where I can obtain the DTV Visa Application Form. Could you please confirm if this form is available for download online or if it needs to be filled out in person at the Royal Thai Embassy

Has anyone actually been denied entry and turned away at the airport on a successful DTV, without option to pay some scam fee to get in? If so what were the circumstances of that denial?

Questions about the DTV Visa and Entry Procedures in Thailand

Hi everyone,

I’ve received the DTV Visa (5 years, Workation for remote work), and I have a few questions about the entry process and formalities. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out:

1. TM30 Registration:

Do I need to register within 24 hours of entering Thailand?

Can I complete the TM30 form online, or do I have to visit the immigration office in person?

Is the landlord typically responsible for the TM30 registration, or do I need to handle it myself?

Do I need to complete the TM30 registration again after every re-entry, for example, if I leave for a short trip to a neighboring country and return?

2. 180-Day Rule:

I understand I need to leave Thailand every 180 days. Is a short trip to a neighboring country (e.g., Malaysia) enough to get a new entry stamp?

Do I need to present bank documents or other supporting documents upon re-entry, or is my visa and passport sufficient?

Would a single day outside Thailand be enough, or is it better to plan a weekend trip?

3. Additional Requirements for Long Stays:

Besides the TM30 registration, are there any other formalities I need to complete for a longer stay?

4. DTV Visa Types:

Are there different types of DTV visas (e.g., shorter versions or different conditions)? Some people seem to have only a regular tourist visa—how can I tell what applies to me?

I’m a bit confused by the mixed information I’ve found so far and would really appreciate any advice or tips from those with experience. What should I pay attention to, and how can I ensure everything runs smoothly?

Thanks so much for your help! 😊

Which country do you suggest to apply for a dtv Visa? I've heard that Vietnam and Taiwan should be good?

Hi guys,

What happens if, after applying for a DTV and providing business information (process, income, location, etc.), we renew our 180-day visa without leaving Thailand? Will we be taxed on foreign income?

Specifically, will we need to pay taxes in both our home country and Thailand?

Based on my research, it seems we would be double-taxed. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to apply for the DTV while staying in Bali now that everything has gone online? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks :)

Hi everyone, I have a DTV visa and live in Phuket. Can I open a bank account in any bank in Phuket with my DTV visa? Has anyone tried it?
