I’m have a question regarding my bank statements. I have been in Thailand for a couple of months and my statements show my payroll deposits while being here; as I wanted to be sure about staying here long term before deciding to get my DTV. Has anyone had this be an issue?
Hi advice needed I am waiting for my money to season for my retirement extension my g/f has asked my to go to Laos with her and her friend if I go would this affect my application thanks.
So hypothetically if I go to Thailand end of January and stay 60/90 days , how long after that could I apply for a DTV. I am tempted to do it now but want to check out various towns and places first before applying for it incase I am unhappy there .Or should I take a punt on Hua Hin for example and take my chances there .
Hello, just wondered if anyone has recently applied for remote worker DTV from either Taiwan or Vietnam and if they have any tips on the process/documents. I was going to apply from Taiwan in January but looks like Hanoi in Vietnam is a better option right now? Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks ☺️ 🙏🏻
So much fear mongering on this group about entry. Entered today at DMK, queues were extremely long but didn’t see one person get turned away or taken aside.
Just gave the officer my passport the system already knew I had a DTV, no questions asked and was in within about 60 seconds max from me approaching the officer. Didn’t ask for any other documents at all
As long as you’ve done everything correctly (TDAC beforehand) you have nothing to worry about.
This is my 5th entry since getting the DTV and the only questions I’ve been asked on entry (one time) is “how long have you trained Muay Thai” and “will you fight in Thailand”
I replied “for about 3 years” and “maybe but I need to lose some weight first” immigration officer laughed and let me straight in. I think she just wanted to make conversation since she was super smiley and that time there wasn’t a queue
Bare in mind guys you will hear more of the bad experiences on this group rather than the thousands of people that enter just fine
