Hi all, regarding "document indicating current location", I assume that means a utility bill/bank statement or something similar? I don't have anything with a proof of address as I dont have a permanent address. Does that immediately disquailfy me from applying?

I went to the Amphur’s office today to request a “Single Status Certificate” needed for the K-1 visa interview. They couldn’t help or didn’t seem to know how to create one. Does anyone know what is needed and where I can get one of these certificates.

Hey everyone, I have a UK passport, I work for a UK company, pay tax in UK, am registered to live and vote in the same address in UK as my bank account is registered at (one of my parent's house). Should I apply at the UK embassy? I am based variously around SE Asia. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam usually. Is it better to apply in my home country or in the country I'm actually in? . Please just be Kreng jai and Jai yen in your answers 🙏🏻 Khob khun krap

I’ve noticed applying at other embassies seems to be the norm. I’m curious as to whether we can apply with our home countries embassy while abroad? Do we need to apply with Vietnam just because we’re there? I got mine before my wife as she was unsure which visa she wanted but now we’re here already for some time and need to leave soon and get hers sorted out. So my question is this : why does everyone apply with the embassy of where they are visiting?

Can anyone who’s done the freelance workcation DTV process themselves help/ direct message me?

1. For the ฿500,000 That is required to show on your bank statement does it have to be on your bank statements for multiple months or can you just read on one month?

1. Since Im currently in Thailand is it easier to go to Vietnam to apply and if so, Do I need to go to the embassy in Vietnam for any part of the DTV application process? which hotels did you all stay?

1. For DTV freelancers what important information with our portfolio or proof of work is essential to show in the application?

A copy of a recent saving or checking bank statement for the last three months with an ending balance of no less than 500,000 THB or ($16,000 USD)

Is this just to see if youve had a bank account for 3 months, OR, Do u need to have $16K in the account for 3 months.

Can somebody please verify? This could put off my trip for a while. Im in the USA btw....😕

thx zimmyjim

I got my DTV yesterday in Laos. I applied as a freelance digital nomad. It was all quite straightforward. I went to the embassy to pay last Tuesday, then on Friday they notified me that I would be interviewed this Wednesday (Thursday and Monday were Thai public holidays, so that probably slowed things down). The interview was really quick, they just asked me to confirm what I do and asked to see my bank balance in the bank app on my phone. They also asked if I already rent a place in Thailand. About an hour later my visa was approved.

Before going to Laos, I paid a small fee to an agency in Bangkok that helped me make sure my application was strong enough and apply through the official website, but I still had to come here, pay and do the interview in person. I used the agency partly because I was unsure my application would be accepted, as I work freelance. The agency were very helpful and told me to provide examples of my work and a letter explaining what I do.

Today I entered Thailand overland from Laos. The border official didn't ask me a single question.

We need to go to a neighbouring country to apply for a Non B visa… which option is best out of Laos, HK or KL? (UK nationals).

hello everyone,please help,my visa has been cancelled today in Vietnam without reason,what should i do?

update,i took photo of every step,and i just check again,it's exactly the same as what I filled in my passport.

The only reason I can think of is that I did not write China as the place of issue, but the information I filled in is the same as in my passport, which is the province where I was born.and my friend also filled in the province, her application was approved in Jakarta.

The embassy was closed for the holiday. It was really frustrating that there was no specific reason for the cancellation in the email. I guess I will have to go to the embassy next Monday to ask for the reason.

Hi. Wanted to ask about DTV visa. If I get it approved (in saigon now), do I need to go to the embassy here (to stamp the passport), or is the approval email the end of the story?
