Hey everyone, I'm currently in Poland and today I'll be applying online for a workcation DTV visa. I'm submitting it to the appropriate Thailand Emabassy, which is in Warsaw, Poland. However, in three days, on December 9th, I have a ticket to Ho Chi Minh City(Vietnam), so my destination will change while my visa application is being processed. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation, and was it a problem?

I am flying to BKK at the end of month with my DTV for the first time, it's my first international flight ever.

Can the lack of travel history cause any issues or prompt them to question me? I have the DTV based on remote job and have everything in order.

I need to get documents posted from Australia for a visa. I have an address here. Is it better to get them sent to a post office? Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I use DHL or Australia Post? 🙏 Thanks

Just a heads up for anybody that has dual Thai / British Nationality. My daughter tried to renew her British Passport, the UK passport office now require a copy of any other nationality

passports you may hold. My daughters Thai passport didn't show her middle name so the UK passport office wouldn't renew her British passport until it was sorted out. If anyone has dual Thai/ British nationality make sure both passports show the same name before you try to renew the British one.

Hello everyone .

Last year I entered Thailand on 24 December 2024 and stayed for about 40 days . Left to visit Siem Reap and Kuala Lumpur for a week then came back to Phuket for about two weeks ( first entry on visa exemption of 2025). After left back to my home country of Romania for two weeks , then Istanbul, Dubai , Cairo and back to Thailand for another week( second entrance on visa exemption for 2025) . Mid March I returned home to Romania got my USA work visa and stayed in America to work from April to December. Now my plan is to bring my parents to SE Asia . We will be in Vietnam for a week but would like

to fly to Thailand on 31st of December for New Years Eve( it would technically be a third entrance in 2025, but with an almost 9 month pause between this and the last entrance) . Do you guys think it would be an issue , should I wait until it’s technically 2026 the fly into Thailand. Overall I have spent probably less than 60 days this year in Thailand .

Thank you

Soft Power and proof of income 🤔

Hello everyone, just a quick question please. I am 20 and wish to apply in Italy.

I would like to apply for DTV Soft Power (Muay Thai) but I noticed that many embassies are starting to ask for proof of income / how you will support yourself in Thailand.

I have a work in my home country, but it’s not remote so clearly if I choose to go to Thailand for 6 months on DTV I won’t be able to continue that work.

However, I have 800-900K baht in my bank account (maybe 1 million at the day of application) and honestly my answer to “how you’ll support yourself” would be savings at this point.

Is that okay? Can I get accepted saying savings in my cover letter? Do you have any tips to maximise the chances of getting the visa?

Thanks! ❤️🙌
