I have to step outside of my zone of comfort. Only because this is a little outside of my comfort zone. If there is anybody that's able to advise me with what's more feasible. Please reach out to me on messenger. I have less than 60 days to stay the course with my original plan. Or do I have to alternate between the two.

Here's the issue. I am all set for my retirement/move to Thailand late August, early September. The only thing I have left is to apply for my retirement. I recently rearranged my first class flight from Thailand to the Philippines. From the Philippines then to Thailand. Saving me a couple thousand dollars. Now here is my issue and why I need help. The cost of the currency exchange and how hard of a is it going to hit me. My goal is Thailand. I should consider staying in the Philippines because of the what is happening with the US dollar. I am struggling with this decision. Apologize for the lengthy post. Hopefully there is somebody with some sound advice. Thanks

Hello everyone

I have been living in Thailand for a year. I am planning to apply for a DTV in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I can stay there for 2 weeks visa free. However, as I have been reading posts in this group and found out that the processing days there can take longer than 14 days, should I apply for 1-month arrival visa at the Phnom Penh airport once I am there ? Thank you all in advance.

Just a quick heads-up for anyone entering on a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa):

Make sure to double-check the visa stamp in your passport at immigration!

Yesterday, the officer accidentally put the wrong stamp in mine — a regular tourist visa instead of the DTV. I caught it right away, went back, and she was super nice about it and fixed it immediately.

I think they’re just so used to stamping tourist visas that it can happen by mistake. Easy to miss if you’re in a rush, so better to check before you leave the counter!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask if having 500k spread across three bank accounts is acceptable when applying for the DTV. My savings are split between THB and EUR on Revolut, and my local currency in a domestic bank account—so overall, three different currencies across two banks. I’ll probably apply in Ho Chi Minh.

I could consolidate everything into THB on Revolut, but it would take a few days and I’d prefer to avoid the fees and exchange rate losses. Any advice?

Question for anyone who’s applied for the Soft Power DTV through the LA consulate:

I transferred funds into my savings to meet the $16k requirement, but my final $2k deposit didn’t hit until June 2—so my May statement shows $14.8k, while June and July will both show over $16k.

Has anyone been approved even if one of the three required statements showed slightly under the threshold?

Wondering how strict they are about hitting the $16k mark *every* month.

Thanks in advance!

When the embassy asks for further documents - is this one time request or can be multiple requests?

I was asked to provide single document which I immediately added... does this mean that other documents were ok, just needed the missing one, or that I still could be asked for futher documents?

I got the request within 24 hours of submitting the initial application.

Hello everyone. I am preparing my application now, and just wanted to ask a couple questions:

1. I am currently living in Georgia (the country) and the nearest embassy is Ankara. So when I apply online, that is where my application will be processed. Has anyone done theirs there, and if so how long did it take and was it easy or hard?

2. I will be applying as a freelancer, and just opened an LLC to formalise things, and so I can bid on remote consultancy contracts. What should I put in my cover letter?

3. I have a ton of examples of my work that I will include, but do we also give them our CV?

Thank you so much!

This will be my first 6 months exit on my DTV visa. When I fly back in to Thailand, will I be asked to show 500,000 bath savings in my account once again? Has anyone experienced this?, or will it be no issue at all?? Please advise 🙏

What is currently the best neighbouring country to go to from Thailand to apply for the DTV? Based on time it is taking and document requests etc. My friend is currently in Thailand and doesnt want to go back to the UK to apply.

Which is better for non o visa

Apply from home or apply in thailand
