Please correct me if this is completely wrong or just a puerile question, but do I get it right that, no matter via which Embassy you apply, it's likely that DTVisa applications for Digital Nomads where the applicant is forcing to keep doing his/her remote job abroad are supposed to hand work contracts/arrangements, portfolios (or just one of the last three ones) AND documents that show monthly income (based on their profession) while DTV applications of people who are willing to participate in Thai Soft Powers (like cooking class or Muay Thai course) are "only" supposed to include a bank account that is well balanced (B 500,000, for the past three months at least) and the confirmation of that particular Thai soft power/cultural course?

Sometimes it seems unpredictable which argumentation is received well by the Thai embassies.

Is it counterproductive to include proof of a remote job arrangement of your company (thus, a monthly income) when you are determined to "only" participate in a Muay Thai course? Some Embassies can be very erratic when it comes to the constellation of your application's legend 🙄

Thanks so much for your attention!

My wife and I are applying for a DTV visa in Colombo, the embassy emailed within hours to request a PDF of all passport pages <3MB. The software I used cut some the pages, and my only noticed after she submitted. There is no way to edit the file on the portal or submit additional info. She emailed (even though it says no reply, it's not a noreply email) with the full file. They don't answer the phone. Will they request the file again or is there anything else we can do? The embassy is close by, so we could go in?

I’m a bit confused about the middle name part. Normally, I do have a middle name, but on my passport, it only shows under “Name” and “Surname”, there’s no separate middle name field. So should I include my entire given name under “First Name”? But when I scanned my passport, it did place my middle name correctly, but I’m still not sure. As I said, even though I have two given names, they’re both listed under “Name” on the passport.

Thank you!

Hi all,

So, I applied for the DTV 6 days ago (German citizen). My last name has an ö in it, a letter only found in a few alphabets. It is common to either write it as “oe” or “o” on official documents. I have been getting flights by writing it with “o” for ages.

I just got an automated email saying my visa application was cancelled due to my last name having been incorrect. There was no indication on the application or embassy website on how to spell it.

I will obviously call the embassy tomorrow and if necessary the responsible office in Thailand… but I wanted to ask if anybody has had a similar experience and whether they managed to get a refund it were able to change it after the fact. My visa application just got moved to the completed tab with a “cancelled” indication. Didn’t receive anything but this automated email. Because loosing 350 Euros for writing my name correctly is not acceptable to me.

Long waiting time - Warsaw.

My documents:

-BioData of passport

-Banks Statement 14400 Eur english from ING

-Employer certificate that I can work remotely in Thailand

-current photo

I have applied 17 jun,later I was asked to upload all my passport pages and return ticket from Thailand to Poland. Uploaded ASAP.

Since 17 jun my application has status pending approval (1).

Should I patiently wait or contact with embassy?

I stated that my ticket to Thailand is for 30 jun.

Any ideas?

EDIT: today my visa was approved;)

Am waiting in Phnom Penh for my visa application result. It’s been sat at ‘processed, pending approval’ for 2 days, and my flight back is tomorrow. Before I book an alternative flight, does anyone know if the approvals only happen Mon to Friday, or do they also process at all on the weekend ??

Thanks

Hi everyone, does anyone managed to get a reason from Hanoi Embassy (or any Embassy) if DTV application is cancelled ? I applied with soft power

Sunday 25: submit and paid

Tuesday 27: additional documents requested and I provided

Later Tuesday 27: pending approval

Just now: application cancelled

I have no idea what I do wrong, I follow all the advices found in this group. I prepared only accurate document and double check all information I input on website.

I’m lost because I was really counting on this visa and I don’t know what to changes for next application, as I don’t know what was wrong on this one…

Submitted workcation at Washington DC embassy on April 30th.

April 6th got a request for recent payment slip

April 10th submitted recent payment slip

Application has been stuck in pending document check 9 business days already.

At what point should I contact the embassy for an update as my flight is on June 7th and starting to get worried.

Any feedback helps!

Did anyone did the same? What information you put? Should I also add the bank statement? Did the visa went through with no problems?

I have everything, contract with a company, the invoices with the payments each month. And just this little thing now.

I’m applying from Argentina and I’ve asked to the embassy but they are not very helpful with the reply, I’ve asked the same and they only said, a sponsor letter is a letter saying someone can take care of me 😅

Thanks 🙏
