So I have been in Thailand for the past few months on a standard tourist visa and am now going to apply for the dtv.

The only problem is that I have been doing some remote work during this time… and in order to get the dtv I need to send contracts of employment to prove I have been working… while my passport stamps indicate I have been in Thailand on a tourist visa….

💀💀💀

Will this be an issue or is it all forgive and forget now I am trying to do it the correct way 😅?

Somebody please let me know if they have expirienced this !

Will they require a certain fix salary on employment letter for dtv application under remote worker ?

Hello everyone! I submitted my DTV application online in Ho Chi Minh City on November 2nd. The status changed to "Document Check" on November 4th, then to "Pending Approval" on November 5th. Since then, there have been no updates.

Has anyone else who applied online around November 2nd received any updates or approvals? Just trying to gauge the current processing times.

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

I’m currently in Thailand, which neighbouring counties are the best options to apply for DTV

Two questions:

1. Can the 500k requirement be in a UK Stocks and Shares ISA bank account that’s invested into index funds?

2. I’m a digital nomad in south east Asia. I stay predominantly in Thailand, but can go anywhere. Where would be the best place to apply for the DTV?

Thank you to everyone in this group for the many answers to questions from your own experiences, It helped a lot!

Has anyone applied DTV using Thai Company Registration where you are a director/shareholder of that company?

I am aware that DTV is not a substitute for Non-B visa or a Work Permit.

Anybody knows how to apply in Philippines? I’ll be in Siargao next week…

Has anyone applied for DTV in Budapest, Hungary? If so, how was your experience? Did they want bank statements for 3 months or just 1?

Hello.

Does DTV have to be applied via Thai embassy in your local country, or any country that a person might physically be? And in case of online application, through which embassy will that go to?

For example, for remote worker DTV, when passport is from north Europen country, while employment and residency is in south European country, while physically being in an Asian country. Can I apply when being in Vietnam for example, via the online application method?

Thanks.
