Anyone had a DTV approved in the last week for a digital nomad route - where did they go? Heard Vietnam started denying them - is that true? I'm from UK currently in Thailand so looking for a safe place nearby to apply from.

Not so much a Visa question. Driver license in Thailand. Does everyone that has one have two cards? Recently didn’t realize they were different and had the car one while on the bike.

Police let me go because it was a drug stop. He showed me his license.

Hi and thanks for letting me be here :)

I've always wanted to finally end up living in Thailand or somewhere else in SE Asia after spending decades living in Hong Kong (I can still live there too). I'm just so confused as to how to do this based on my life situation. In a nutshell (from UK and now living here ) I have a home to sell eventually if it came to that ( or rent out while im checking Thailand out). I will continue working (online teacher) and I receive alimony monthly (if that matters lol).

Im not sure which route to take 🤔. Could anyone spell it out for me in simple terms please as to the best way to make this happen :) thanks 😊 🙏

Any good Muay Thai gym recommendations that can supoort DTV package? That at least have the attitude that they are providing services to the customers and know that they are making a living with it. Tired of unprofessional and disrespectful ones.

Update: I submitted the document they asked for today and I just got it approved.

Hello, I am currently in Hanoi and submitted my documents for the DTV visa. But they have requested supporting documents. I work as a online E-Commerce manager for a UK company and already submitted my contract with the company I am working for including several term changes where salary increases are stated.

What should I give them now?

- resume?

- screenshots from Shopify, Klaviyo and GA?

- work mail?

- registration is visible online on the gov.uk site would this be sufficient?

*Support Document*

*1 . Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status (Business registration of company you're currently working with. *

Not really looking to spend much longer here in Hanoi.

Many thanks!

Hi all, Apologies as I know that this might not be the right page to post on however I am moving to Thailand on 1st December on the DTV visa and will be living in Rawai or chalong and I’m extremely into fitness, unfortunately the remote job position I was offered in the UK has now backed out and I am concerned that I am going to be coming out there with no form of remote job. I’d be grateful if anyone in this group can help point me in the right direction or know of any remote opportunities! I’ve worked within the corporate world for the last 12 years at various levels and my skillset and work ethic is second to none.

I have high levels of experience within property management, quality assurance, technical monitoring, surveying, sales, data analysis, people management, analytical skills, renewable energy, virtual assistance, operations management, project planning, property law, real estate, stocks and shares, building surveying and retrofit which I believe are transferable to a lot of industries.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you 🙏
