Soft power activity that's getting approved?

I was all set to apply for my DTV, got the money in the bank and a remote job, however I just realised that my job needs to be in my own country, which it's not. I could set up a Ltd company in my own country an pay myself, but that involves waiting another 3 months, so, I'm thinking of applying with a soft power course, but I've seen a few people get rejected on soft power, so which activities are getting approved?

Hey everyone 👋

I’m planning to apply for the new DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) under the remote worker / digital nomad category.

I’m currently employed full-time by a foreign company (based in Israel), and I have a formal contract.

However, the contract doesn’t specifically mention remote work — so I’d love to get clarity:

👉 What exactly do I need to submit for the “employment certificate/contract” part?

Would an additional letter from the company confirming I’m allowed to work remotely from Thailand be enough?

Also — I’m applying from Israel. Is there anything specific I should know or prepare differently when applying from here (documents, embassies, translations, etc.)?

Any recent experience or tips would be super appreciated 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Applied in Jakarta — and amazingly, it got approved in just three days

Since I didn’t have much time, I decided to go through an agent. Most of the reviews I read said it would take at least 10 days to get approved, so I booked a 10-day stay in Bali just in case.

But unexpectedly, the visa came through early. With this “extra time” on my hands, I’m now seriously considering going one step further — maybe I should just apply for Indonesia’s digital nomad visa?

I have a Bangkok Bank account, since January I've paid in 65K Bht every month. I'm now in the UK and will return to Thailand in December, before returning I'll be applying for a non O retirement visa via the London Thai Embassy so I can hopefully go for the 1 year visa on arrival in Thailand.

My questions are:

1/ Is it true the Bangkok bank requires the 800K to be in the account for 4 months before supplying a confirmation letter for immigration? If so I need to pay in the 800K into the account in August for acceptance in December.

2/ As I've been paying in 65K since January this year when can I use the monthly payment scheme to keep the retirement visa active allowing me to move or spend the 800k.

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if any of you had an issue opening a bank account with a non-immigrant OA visa secured in your home country (but without a long-term lease in Thailand?) I know the OA does not require a long-term lease as part of its approval process, but does the bank require a long-term lease before opening?

Thanks!

What the best ( and cheaper ) Thai Voxing school in PHUKET for the DTV please ?

I see people talking about Muay Thai King at 15.000 but the website tell 18.000 .

Any options at 15.000 or around ?

Better something with history of success , all documents and so on

Thanks

I’m so obsessed with opening bank account. Help me out :)

Hello,

My husband has already been approved for the DTV visa (from Portugal), and I am now submitting my application as spouse. We only have one bank account, which does not hold 500,000 THB + 500,000 THB separately for each of us.

Do you think I should submit the same bank statements that he used for his visa application (from our only shared account), and include a sponsor letter explaining that we have a joint account, the funds belong to both of us, are accessible to both of us, and that my husband will be financially supporting me during our stay?

Or would it be better to wait until we have 1.000,000 THB ?

We also have funds in a investment broker, but I understand that doesn’t really count for this type of visa — is that correct?

thanks in advance for your help

Hey I just got married to a Thai national and I’m currently in the process of trying to get her visa and green card to move with me to America. I am in the military and we got married with proxy online and I’m in the process of getting signatures so the marriage certificate can be recognized in Thailand as well. Does anybody know the process or how I got about doing her visa to get her to move with me?
