Couple visa requirements

We make approx 2700 usd combined after medicare deductions (3100 before) and would be able to do the 25000 deposit.

Does this sound like sufficient funds to qualify for a long term visa?

There's possibility of approx another 600/month on top of this

Appreciate your help

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 !

Anyone know if the passport plays a big role in terms of getting DTV?

Applied Friday for DTV through Dubai embassy as I have UAE Investor Residency, uploaded my Emirates ID and Drivers Licence just in case.

I have an Estonian company with what I work with, I wrote an employment letter from the company to me basically stating I can work any where and have salary of 10k euro monthly. With a wet signature.

As for the bank statement I sent them a Wio Bank PDF showing a balance of more than 70k AED.

I have German was already once to Thailand on visa waiver for 18 days.

Current status is Pending Document Check, only problem I’m currently not in Dubai.

“Hello everyone, I worked as a teacher in Thailand for a few years and have a Thai bank account with a balance, as well as ownership of a condo in Thailand. I resigned from my job on March 1st, 2025, and currently don’t have employment outside of Thailand. Am I eligible for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV)?”

Hey! 👋

I'm currently locating in Georgia (country) and want to apply for DTV, but there is no Thai Embassy in Georgia.

If I will apply from Georgia and visa will be approved, then I can receive the visa in any other country that have Thai Embassy? Or how does it work?

Hi all,

i’m currently applying for the DTV visa as a business owner from Ho Chi Minh City and have submitted all the documents according to the website.

As expected, they are asking for revised documents for everything, but more specifically for 6 months of salary slips, to be highlighted in the financial statement.

As I currently run my startup on personal savings to avoid double taxation, I do not pay myself any salary.

I’m afraid if I explain this to them, they will decline my visa because I don’t have evidence of regular income.

Again, I’m not applying as an employee or freelancer, but as the company owner. I have one employee who receives a regular salary.

Has anyone encountered this situation?

Thank you so much upfront.

I'm at home in the US. What is needed to prove my location? What's something that was sufficient for getting approved?

Has anyone applied for a DTV visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Chennai, India? Regarding the bank statement requirement, does it need to show a closing balance of 500,000 THB, or should the account consistently maintain 500,000 THB for the past six months? Please share your experience.

Approved from Canberra Australia!

Applied: 19th Feb

Approved: 24th Feb

I feel like my situation might be slightly different, so sharing it and hopefully people find it useful.

Ive been running a side hustle while working full time for the past 2 years because it’s not sustainable on its own yet. I explained in my cover letter that im looking to make a career change, quit my job and work on my business fulltime and it worked! (Also stated that I have enough savings to sustain me ofc).

Documents:

- bank statement (my bank does 1 statement for every 6 months)

- utility bill (proof of address)

- cover letter

- company registration

- remote working letter created myself. (Also specified that the company doesn’t operate in thailand and will not employ any Thais)

- website screenshot/ portfolio and url

No additional documents requested
