Work Docs:

Freelance teacher portfolio with cover letter explaining what I do, where my students are sourced, how I get paid and approx monthly earnings, why I'm applying, and stated that I will not seek work locally in Thailand.

The portfolio included my TEFL cert, student roster, earnings spreadsheet, calendar schedule, 2 sample lesson plans with link to materials (3MB is too small to compress everything ), screenshots from my online classes, some teaching reviews, and WeChat communication from parents showing student retention and pre-paymemt for 10-20 classes side-by-side with the transfer pics from their account to mine.

Financial Docs:

3 mos of statements showing over 500k during all 3 months and a screenshot from the account. Included a short letter explaining the minimal activity on the account (savings, not daily use).

Location Docs:

Photos of my cxld Ed Visa and Vietnam entry stamp, vietnam visa, hotel reservation, and pic at the hotel

I am American and have been in Thailand for a while already. Most recently on an Ed Visa. Before that I had a Business Visa. Others previous to that. Though they did not look at every page of my passport, I'm sure it's evident in their system.

Pretty sure this is everything. Hopefully not forgetting anything.

Just another parrot in here reaching the 180 day point of a DTV. who's looking for the easiest way a british citizen in bangkok can extend another 180 days outside of a flight or visiting Bangkok immigration? Not just a location that I should border bounce at but an actual simplified journey planner. I can be up as early as needed. Apologies if it comes off as demanding but I prefer real time verified answers instead of finding a post about border running 6 months ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

does it matter what bank I use for proof of the 500k baht ? Thanks in advance

Looking for some advice on what order to do things next, in now my O visa has been issued this morning.

I'm off to Hat Yai in four weeks time, looking to live there.

I have a condo agent ready to meet with to take out a years rental.

When I get there, what order should I do things in in relation to:

Extending to one year.

Opening a bank account.

Dropping the 800K in the account

Renting the condo.

I have one month booked in a rental when I get there which allows me to get on and sort things out.

Your advice, if you have done this, in what order I should do things, would be very much appreciated,

Feel free to explain the steps like I'm 9 years old. Many Thanks.

Hi, Everyone I would like to apply DTV Visa with agency company, Anyone make with agent?

I need agency to help about document and I just worry for scammer.

Please recommend :)

Hey, my visa application in Cambodia was cancelled today(wrong name). I've been thinking of applying straight away from Vietnam? Is it a good idea or should I wait some time? Also what's the processing time there? Has anybody applied in Vietnam recently?

Since we can’t open bank accounts with DTV, how do we pay rent fee if we rent condo ?

Hey everyone,

I have two important questions regarding the DTV visa:

1. For the 500,000 THB financial requirement — is it acceptable if the amount is held in my local currency (HUF), or does it need to be converted into Thai Baht, EUR, USD? Would that be an issue?

2. My bank statements that prove my income are in my local language (Hungarian). Do I need to translate them into English or Thai for the application?

Thanks in advance for any help or clarification! 🙏

My application went from “pending approval” to “pending document check”. Does this mean they will ask for additional documents?
