I applied for a DTV via Jakarta consulate Monday April 21 around midday and it is now Friday the 25th and the status has not changed from "Pending Document Check.". Is this normal?

I still have to apply for a dependent DTV if/after I get approved so looks like I will be in Indonesia longer than I was hoping. At least it's a beautiful place with wonderful people.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone.

I’m a freelancer content creator based in Dubai.

I in the process of preparing my documents for the DTV. I got everything almost.

I made a freelancer portfolio, I wrote a cover letter describing my work and attached screenshots and links for my social media profile. Also I attached recent invoices and receipts showing that I received money from collaborating with brands and organizations.

I just want someone who has done it before to take a look at it and give more insights.

If you buy a condo or villa, does that count as the 800k thai baht needed for a visa? I read something that said that once, but never saw it anywhere else, so I wanted to be sure.

Hello

The company for which my husband and I work approved our move to Thailand and the possibility of working remotely from there. So, next step: application. Can you give me an idea of the time it takes since we apply until we can actually go? To guide our times

Thanks a lot

Hi Guys I entered on DTV last month.

I am already staying in Thailand for 1 month and going to extend my vacation for more 2 months. I heard we have to do reporting if we are staying more than 90 days.

Let me know if I have to do 90 days reporting and whats the process? 🙏

Hi team, I am brand new to the group. Appreciate you allowing me to join.

I retired in the UK recently at 60 and came over here on the visa on arrival. I already have a house with my Thai wife in Bang Saray. I now need to apply for my retirement visa.

I have had a Thai bank account for a few years and can show I have enough funds. We have taken some pictures together in different rooms in our house, the garden and in front of the house number. I believe I also need a pinned google map showing the house location. That’s as far as I have got.

Can I please ask what else I need ?

Cheers,

Paul

Hello everyone !

Is there anyone who applied for DTV from Turkey ?

I am planning to do it under softpower activities (muay thai course)

Ive seen comments saying it takes too long and theres no clear requirements on the official website especially about proof of 500K baht, such as how long I need to keep the balance in the bank before applying etc.

I appreciate any help thank you all !
