One item that was new to me on my approved DTV application in Philippines, I do have a shared checking account and I was advised by the agency to have double the base baht in there.

So 1 million baht + a little as the balance.

I had also seen another post suggesting a letter from everyone on the account was a good idea to include but I didn't do that.

My son’s passport expired and we need my husbands DTV asap. Can we apply for his DTV and add the codependents later?

Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼❤️

Hi. I will be applying for DTV next week, how do I prove that I am in the UK ? I returned from Thailand in April and passport control did not stamp my passport. I think I have everything else covered 🙏 thank you in advance for your support. And anything else that can trip me up ?

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I’ve just applied for the DTV in the UK embassy, but I accidentally selected “freelancer” instead of “employee.” Now, they’re asking for supporting documents: a self-assessment tax return, statement of accounts, or an accountant’s letter, which I don’t have.

Would it be ok to submit my payslips instead and explain that I made a mistake in the application?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

Has anyone encountered this message when applying for the DTV after uploading their passport scan?

“Biodata page of travel document – We are unable to retrieve data from the MRZ. Please enter your travel document’s biographic information manually.”

Does this mean my passport scan isn’t clear enough? I used a scanner, and it looks clear to me and has high definition even after zooming in so I wonder why it couldn’t read the information from it 🙏🏻

Hi all,

I’m currently preparing my DTV application and was wondering-when uploading the passport scan, should it be cropped to the edges or is it fine to include the white space around it?

Thanks! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

I could use your advice on Thai immigration.

Here’s my situation:

• I first entered Thailand on a 3-month tourist visa,

• Then I switched to a 1-year ED visa,

• After that expired, I did a 1-month visa run.

During the visa run, it was a close call: the immigration officer pulled me aside and only let me in after I booked a return flight on the spot. I was on crutches and explained that I needed more time in Thailand to fully recover.

Now I’ve been out of Thailand for almost 2 months, and I’d really like to go back — I miss it a lot, to be honest.

My question is:

👉 If I fly in without a visa (I’m eligible for a 60-day visa exemption), is there a risk they’ll deny me entry at the airport?

I’m planning to stay on this 60-day exemption and then apply for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) once my funds have been in my account for 3 months (the required 500,000 THB).

I know I’m a bit impatient to get back 😅 but I want to avoid any trouble at the border.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks in advance!

I started my DTV application but I don’t have specifics such as where I am staying or what my flight number is or which region I will live in… how did everyone else fill it out?

Canadian just applied for DTV from Japan Tokyo embassy.

So apparently I need my documents notarized since I’m not from Japan/Thailand.

Any Canadians have experience with this? We’re from British Columbia but apparently the Tokyo embassy doesn’t notarized BC documents?

I.e., do we physically have to go back to BC, Canada to notarize our documents?

Hey guys any suggestions on this. I am currently needing to prove my location in Australia for dtv application however the immigration office is asking for a stamp on my passport showing that I’ve entered Australia as I applied for the dtv when I wasn’t in the country. Australia doesn’t do physical stamps they do it electronically.

I’ve applied to get record of movement from Australian immigration but they are taking for ever, are there any other ways of proving my location?

Cheers
