What’s the deal with flight and accommodation requirements for the DTV? Do I actually need a flight booked? I’m planning to fly to Thailand after Tết in Vietnam, but if I don’t get the DTV, there’s no reason to book a flight until it’s confirmed. Also, I’ve noticed some places asking for proof of accommodations in Thailand. How am I supposed to provide that if I’m not there yet and can’t rent a place? It feels like a chicken-and-egg situation. Any advice?

I’ll be applying in Ho Chi Minh.

Hi, my dear community,

Got a 5-year DTV visa for Thailand (digital nomad/freelancer). Applied in Penang after trying in Kuala Lumpur. Penang had more knowledgeable people who knew about freelancing.

Good luck, everyone! You deserve it, and you're an asset to any country's economy if you go there.

Hey as an indian i am under visa exemption scheme , can anyone tell how many times i can visit the thailand by calender ? i like krabi in thailand very much , something i think i just stay near beach 🥹

i have already travel thailand in month of may , june , and now again planning to travel in september and october

just wanna ask , do thailand immigration will ask me anything ?

i am also trying to apply for dtv visa but cant as they asking to maintain 500k baht balance for 6 months

please help 🙏🙏

Are requirements for the DTV getting tougher already? At least for the Thai consulate in Kuala Lumpur it seems to be the case. Supporting documents required include:

- Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc.

- A foreign employment contract or employment certificate authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located.

- A copy of the company's registration/business license authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located.

Does not seem to be done with a quick visit to only the Thai consulate there.

Anyone got their DTV there?

What an inconsistent mess again. Oh well - shopping for easy consulates ... why would it be different this time. Same visa, very different rules ... TIT.
