Hey all, I'm living in Spain and I work for a company here, I was thinking of Applying for the DTV from Brazil as I will be there for a month, would that be a problem?

My payslips, bank account and documents are all from Spain.

Reason is that I saw too many delays on Madrid embassy and in Brazil seems to go very fast. Would it be fine if I apply for my wife in a different country afterwards?

For those who’ve applied for a remote work DTV, did the embassy verify your documents directly with your employer, or was a signed letter sufficient?

Thanks,

Hi guys, I'm the thai husband (but cant speak thai) and trying to extend my wife's 3 months non-o visa to marriage visa and getting the kor ror 22 from District office for the first time. (we were married overseas).

I've been told I must go back to chiangmai district office to do the kor ror 22 (my house registration is in chiangmai). While there are some others which says I can do it anywhere. Can someone please verify? much thanks

Dear All. Need advise on the O-A visa. To show the financial evidence of the bank statements, does this need to be my country of residence bank account or a thai bank account. I had been reading different information regarding this.

1. Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB or having the current balance of 800,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, proof of earnings)

Applied for DTV (Remote Worker) through the Thai Embassy in Singapore in early July.

Day 1 - Submitted application

Day 3 - Embassy asked for more documents including:

- Employer's updated ACRA within the last 3 months (previous version was an old ACRA document)

- Employer's letter to be addressed to Thai Embassy, Singapore specifically stating that I was allowed to work in Thailand. (previous letter submitted was addressed to "to whom it may concern", and "allowed to work anywhere in the world"

- Detailed bank statements (previously I submitted only the first page)

- Screenshot of my latest bank balance AFTER the 3 months of bank statements

- Proof of accomodation (they mentioned specifically AirBnB not allowed)

Day 6 - I only noticed the request on Day 5 and submitted everything they requested for on Day 6

Day 14 - Approved

Data Points:

- I had between SGD20k to SGD30k in the bank for the entire period of 3 months

- I still kept the minimum balance in there after submiting documents, hence my screenshot satisfied that additional criteria

- My salary is about SGD10,000, and I have been with the company for 3 years

Some thoughts: SG Thai Embassy is definitely pretty strict. I feel like they are trying to poke and find holes in what I thought was an honest and straightforward application. But otherwise, happy to have this approved.

Has anybody who is not originally from the Philippines successfully applied for the DTV while in the Philippines? I checked the requirements for the E-Visa application in Manila and for me (German) it says that I need a "Copy of Philippine Visa" - Does that mean my tourist visa stamp in my passport? I also have an ACR-I card but that is only stated as a requirement for nationals from mostly African and Middle Eastern countries) so I don't know if that counts.

Also, would you advise that I stay in Manila during the application process, just in case they need me to appear in person, or can I just stay in Cebu?

And lastly, when I apply, it states that I need to enter flight number and intended duration of stay (despite selecting DTV) - What should I enter here? a date 5 years in the future?

I already e-mailed the embassy but they just replied with copypasta and links to information that I already had.

Thanks!

Hi all!

I have all the necessary proofs and documents to start my application... only I just deposited the 15k into my bankaccount... do I now have to wait 3 months before I apply for my dtv to provide 3 months of account statements?

Best regard
