I’m trying to decide where to apply for my DTV visa as a remote worker/workation spot. I’ve narrowed it down to Cambodia 🇰🇭 or Vietnam 🇻🇳, but I’m unsure which is the better option.
What are the pros and cons of applying in either country? Would love to hear your experiences.
Hi. Did anyone apply for Soft Power DTV in Sweden yet and can share any details of success/failure/documents/etc? I didn't find anything about this when searching the group.
Has anyone applied for a DTV as a digital nomad in the Netherlands/the Hague? What kind of additional documents were requested and did they ask for a flight ticket?
I want to share my experience about re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa.
I am Taiwanese and hold a Taiwanese passport. Recently, I’ve seen some posts expressing concerns about re-entering Thailand. I have entered Thailand 4 times with DTV through BKK without any issues.
My DTV route is Soft Power(Muay Thai).
I just want to say that if you applied by yourself or through an agency with correct and truthful information, you should have no problems re-entering Thailand every time.
Why have I re-entered so many times? Because I love traveling. But Thailand is my favorite country.🇹🇭
Hello! My name is Michael Medcalf. I hold an MFA in Dance and have served as a dance professor in the United States for over a decade. Later this year, I will be relocating to Bangkok, and I’m hoping to continue teaching dance while in Thailand.
If you have any leads or connections to colleges, universities, or dance programs that might be looking for an experienced educator, I’d be grateful to connect. Please feel free to share my information or put me in touch with the appropriate person in charge of dance programming.
Question: I need to file a TM30 for my new apartment in Pattaya, which I rented for a month, so that I can later do my 90-day report. My previous accommodation here did not file a TM30 for me.
Now, the agent for my new apartment says that since there is no TM30 for my previous Pattaya apartment, the apartment owner needs 1,600 baht to file it now for my current residence. Supposedly, this may be to prevent immigration from asking questions about the missing TM30 from before but I'm not sure.
Is this a scam or standard practice? Does immigration really check this and require a full TM30 history for the entire stay to file a tm30 in Pattaya? What do you think I should do in this situation?
