Hi, we own a small company in NZ and now hire a management company to take care of the day to day running of the business, we get regular reports and become involved if there are any large financial decisions to be made etc or problems.

We get a weekly payment and meet all the financial requirements. Has anyone else applied in a similar situation and would it be a free lancer or a remote employee? Heading to Laos on the way to Thailand later this year so will apply there

Thanks for any advice.

I am an Australian, living in Thailand who is on Non-B and Work Permit. I am preparing to get the DTV visa.

I’ve been hired for a remote job from Australia but a legal team has briefly suggested that instead of going for the remote work DTV it’s better to go for the Soft Powet DTV. This is because they apparently need 6 months employment of new role.

Q’s

- Does anyone have any suggestions for the best DTV agents that are reasonably priced?

- In my position of recent remote employment, am I best to go with soft power or remote work?

- For someone in my position, is Jakarta, Vietnam, Lao or Taipei better?

Thanks guys !!

Hi everyone,

I saw someone post that they were rejected twice, and I wanted to share my experience and ask for advice, since I’ve also been rejected twice in 2025. Honestly, I’m now afraid to apply again.

Both times I applied at the Hanoi embassy(which I now realize may have been a mistake)

After first rejection, I went to embassy to get any information and the staff at the counter told me deposit could be issue. (May be I said because all my documents are legit and I couldn’t think any reason of what could wrong but my full deposit is over 2 months. So I think they just follow what I said).

So after I wait around 4 more months, I applied again same embassy since I thought they said deposit is issue. So now I fixed it and it’s better to go same embassy. But second time also rejected in 3 days after pending approval.

I applied under remote job. I work in IT.

My company is based on Singapore. My salary is fixed 50k THB(2000SGD) plus overtime bonus.

I worked in Thailand before with work permit for over 2 years. And after that stayed with Thai ed for around 2years while I’m working as freelance. So my salary goes to my Thai bank which comes from Singapore. I have also proof email payslips.

Deposit bank is also another Thai bank which has over 500k seasoning around 1 year now. I don’t have actual contract as when I’ve been working with this company for long as started with like freelance. But since now I want to apply DTV as actually I’m working as full name. My company provide me contract and recommendation letters. But I don’t have any proof since I got it in person(some agent said contract and recommendation letter from email ). This documents have my company stamps and employer signatures.

In my application, I submitted

1. company profile registered in sg

2. employer ID

3. payslips(6months)

4. 500k deposit bank ( first time over 2 months length, second time over 6months length)

5. Recommendation letter with employer signature and company stamp

6. Employer contract with employer, employee signatures and company stamp

I would really appreciate any insight into what might be wrong with my application. In particular:

1. Is my salary too low?

2. Is it a problem that my income is paid into a Thai bank account?

3. Does my employment contract need improvement or additional proof?

I’m feeling quite lost at this point and would truly appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.

Thank you so much—I really appreciate your help in advance.

Hi, my work contract states I work remotely from my home address which is currently in the UK but states it is remote working. Do I need to get this changed or will this suffice? Or do I also need a letter stating they are happy for my to work in Thailand. UK embassy.

I'm applying from Vancouver. I have contracts with 2 companies: a travel agency and as a real estate agent.I have worked remotely as both in the past and both companies are fine with this. Both of them state that I'm an 'Independent Contractor'. Neither of them mention working remotely,. Should I submit both, or just one, with my application. Should i ask each company to add a note mentioning that working remotely is ok? Financially I more than satisfy the requirements. Appreciate any advise.

My ED visa is expiring soon and I plan to apply for DTV as digital nomad. I m Singaporean and have a remote part-time job from Singapore.

I had Ed visa for past 2 years before DTV but have also been working remotely part-time with Singapore company while holding that Ed visa.

When I apply for DTV, do u think it’s better for me to show my contract with Singapore company while holding Ed visa here?

Or should I do a new employment contract showing recent dates?

Anyone’s experience with applying at Thai embassy in Singapore?

I'm currently talking to my employer to issue me a letter for remote work from anywhere. My contract already states "home office from place of residency", but I assume the "place of residency" refers to only my home countries main residency place. The question now is, does that letter to authorize me remote work from anywhere need any specific requirements or wording to be accepted?

I work as a remote worker for a group of companies in US through an HR firm in Malaysia.

The HR firm is providing me with documents for DTV application, because it is with them I signed a contract with for that specific assignment. My question is, in my CV, will I put my HR firm as my employer?

Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

I am applying for the DTV visa. I’m working for 2 different foreign companies.

Which employment contract should I include in the application? One of them or both?

Thank you so much,

Marco

Hi there,

I am applying for the DTV visa. Over the past five months, I have worked for three months with a foreign company and the other two months with another company.

Which employment contract should I include in the application? Should I submit only one of these contracts or both? If the contract is not in English, does it need to be translated?

Thank you so much,

Marco
