Hello everyone. I am preparing my application now, and just wanted to ask a couple questions:

1. I am currently living in Georgia (the country) and the nearest embassy is Ankara. So when I apply online, that is where my application will be processed. Has anyone done theirs there, and if so how long did it take and was it easy or hard?

2. I will be applying as a freelancer, and just opened an LLC to formalise things, and so I can bid on remote consultancy contracts. What should I put in my cover letter?

3. I have a ton of examples of my work that I will include, but do we also give them our CV?

Thank you so much!

📌 Urgent Information Needed Regarding DTV Visa – Manila Thai Embassy

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask a few important questions:

1. Has anyone applied for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Manila?

2. If so, how long did the processing take?

3. Has anyone received visa approval in June?

I’m planning to apply as a Freelancer, and I already have 500,000 THB in my bank account (financial proof is ready).

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has recent experience could kindly share their timeline and advice.

Thank you so much 🙏

Just got a request for further documents:

* Other request documents: Please upload a copy of the business registration (in English or accompanied by an official English translation) in the case of self-employed persons/sole proprietors. The document must include the applicant’s personal details.

I have no business registration because I work as a freelancer. Previously, I attached a contract with my long-term client and screenshots from my Upwork account, as well as previous jobs completed. What can I do now?

2 months bank statements with 500000 THB on closing balances

Indonesia stay permit (didn't do eVOA, specifically so I could get a physical stamp)

I was slightly worried because the account I sent I only use for occasional cash savings (money is usually in the stock market) so it was empty on the 3rd month. I sent 6 months just to be safe + updated currency conversion.

I have business in usa and I got payroll for $3500 also it's retail business can I get the dtv visa?

Hi everyone! 🥰🥰 I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. I was denied entry to Thailand two weeks ago due to concerns about long-term stays.

However, I’ve just had my DTV visa (workation–freelancer) approved here in Korea. I’m planning to re-enter Thailand next week.

Given the previous denial, is there still a chance I might face issues at the border, even with the DTV visa? Thanks so much in advance! 🙏🏾

I applied on the 3rd of May here in Bali . Anyone else waiting on DTV in Bali? I applied as a freelancer. Is there any more holidays or is yesterday it?

Hello, I just received an email today with them asking for additional documents that include my business profile and business portfolio. Below is what I already included previously for my portfolio. Do you have any recommendations as to what else I should include in my portfolio and what information should be included in this business profile. For reference I applied as a freelancer in Los Angeles. 



Thanks to everyone who has shared information in this group—it helped me resolve many issues during my application process. I also appreciate those who responded to my previous question here.

I applied for the DTV from Taipei, Taiwan. My first application was rejected due to a name error. On my second attempt, I was asked to provide additional documentation regarding my status as a freelancer, including a copy of my contract and proof of income/source of funds. I submitted the documents, and even though it was a Saturday night, I received my visa approval the following day.

After I was granted the DTV, my husband applied for his own DTV as the spouse of a DTV holder. According to the current rules, if your spouse has already obtained the DTV, you can apply for your own DTV based on that relationship. I submitted his application on May 7 around 11 AM, and he received his visa approval later that same day at around 6 PM.

For his application, I only submitted a bank statement under his name and a copy of my approved DTV visa. No other documents were requested. For his occupation, I selected “Retired.”

In my experience, the DTV application process is not particularly difficult or complicated. You just need to provide clear documentation that supports your identity and financial status.

Although many people online mention submitting detailed and extensive documents, I personally did not provide much, and nothing beyond what was specifically requested. I’m not sure if this is because I applied from Taiwan, but that was my experience.

I hope this helps others who are planning to apply for the DTV. Wishing you all a smooth application process.
