For the 65,000 baht monthly deposit, do need to show that proof of deposit for a year before applying for the 1 year visa or just documentation that I have it? I also have the 800,000 baht to deposit. Could I deposit it and apply for the retirement visa and in parallel deposit the 65,000 baht and eventually prove that I have it and then withdraw the 800,000? Thank you

Hi there,

got my DTV visa (for me and my family) through the embassy in London. How does it work when I arrive in Thailand?

Can I show them my visa on my phone? And what other documents do they want to see? Valid Passport is clear, but do I need a return ticket?

I have 3 years validity in my passport, if I apply for the dtv visa now( 5 years validity), would there be any problems when I renew my passport later.

I got approved with soft power route in Hong Kong consulate after a bunch of documents.

I provided:

-Gym confirmation (need 6 months of membership)

-Documents that indicated my current location(bank statement)

-6 months of bank statement for the 500000 money( you can provide 3 months in Hong Kong too)

Additional that the HK Consulate ask for:

-Valid HK stay permit (Landing Slip/Working Visa) + HKID( no need landing slip and visa if you a HKID holder)

- Muay Thai Courses that are eligible to apply for DTV Visa must (1) be a Muay Thai Course certified by the Thailand Board of Boxing Sport (2) be held by the similarly certified Muay Thai gym (I only provided Board of Boxing Sports from Ministry of Turism and Sports)

- the applicant must demonstrate detailed portfolio of Muay Thai past experience for no less than 6 months (I gave a kind of CV for them tell what did I do, my old gym agreement and some photo of me that I captured from IG video)

-School registration and ID of authorized person's signature

By the way, please congrats me, I'm hype now

Do you have to be outside Thailand when applying for a visa through e-Visa website or not necessary?

I'm a German national without permanent residency and want to apply for a DTV through their website.

The only thing that I worry about is the last part "Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status."

I have a US LLC through which I sell online coaching and writing services.

What would be best to supply there? I have:

* proof that the US LLC is registered in my name

* past invoices from clients

* I could write a certificate in the name of the company to prove I can work remotely

* a website that's currently offline but would be easy to set to live

Anything else I could/should include?

Thanks!

What did you provide as part of your application for the bank statements? Were paper statements printed by the bank required or were you able to use a PDF electronic statement generated by the bank's app or website?

This question will be about an unusual 90 day check-in situation.

My next 90 day check-in is due in 24 November. I just renewed my passport (new number), then I received my one year visa extension, with multiple entry permit.

I'm visiting S Korea for a few days next week, returning to Thailand on 24 October.

I know that under normal circumstances, my first 90 day check-in after visa extension must be done in person AND the clock resets on the 90 day check-in from the day I return from Korea, making the new in-person 90 check-in date 24 February.

Since I have a new passport number, does that change anything?

# DTV Update: HCMC Approved!

I'm in HCMC right now and just picked up my DTV today.

Here's what I did to prepare:

- Scheduled my appt at the HCMC Thail consulate 3 weeks ahead of my trip

- Pre-filled the visa app from HCMC Thai consulate

- Printed out my American business license/LLC paperwork

- Printed out 2 client contracts with my American biz name/address shown (matched LLC paperwork)

- Printed out 6mos of bank statements with 500k+ baht showing for all 6 mos

- Printed out my HCMC hotel confirmation

- Had visa pics printed and ready

- Had precisely $340 USD in crisp bills

What they did when I arrived that you can do ahead of time:

- Had me glue my picture to my visa app

- Highlighted the ending bank account summary amount for each month

What issue I ran into:

- One of my USD bills had a tiny bit of ink on it - they asked me to exchange it for a "clean" one. I popped over to a currency converter shop and exchanged it, and was able to get back in line without an appointment.

Visa approval + pickup

- They processed all the paperwork with the "clean" bills in 5 minutes and gave me a slip to pick up my passport with the new DTV in 48 hours. (This means you're officially "approved")

- Two days later, I returned the slip and instantly picked up my passport, which included DTV.

*NOTE: The HCMC Thai Consulate visa center is a tiny container office outside.*

I hope this helps!

DTV approved in Hanoi. Easy process, courteous staff.

Made an appointment online though it doesn't seem to matter, there's been almost no people there the few times I've been.

Docs they wanted were:

* 6 months of bank statements

* employment contract (the staff made me believe it needs to explicitly state "remote work" - mine didn't but apparently it's not necessary as it went through)

* apartment lease in Hanoi (a hotel booking would also work) as proof of current location - apparently my physical presence in the embassy or the stamps in my passport weren't proof enough that I'm actually there

* deposit slip for accommodation rental or hotel booking in Thailand

* filled out application (had to write in DTV because it's not yet an actual category on the official visa application :D) and photo

* $340 - I paid attention to give very clean bills, they didn't really check their integrity at all

... That's it. Done in 2 days. Here at least, they look at face value at whatever you submit, there are no deeper checks.

Grab it while it's hot, not sure how long a deal like this can last before it becomes apparent that it's too cheap and too relaxed criteria.
