Sorry to be anonymous but any reason to think we can’t do a same day border bounce at Chiang Khong?

Hello, what is the typical processing time for a non-O visa application?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else has applied for the DTV visa from Cambodia recently? I submitted my application on June 2nd, and it’s now been 18 business days – still showing as “Pending Approval.”

Is this delay normal, or should I be concerned? Would really appreciate hearing about your timelines or any recent experiences. Thanks in advance!

Update: got approved today 30/6 after 28 days (19 business days) 🥳

Has anyone gotten the DTV as a voice actor? I would think that would qualify as remote work for the purposes of the visa, right?

Happy to share that I received my LTR-P visa by email yesterday. It was a fairly simple process which did not need any Visa agency help. I am grateful to many in this group for providing guidance and helpful tips. Here is the timeline for my application:

April 23, 2025- Online application submitted to BOI with income and asset documents

April 28, 2025- Additional income documents requested by BOI. Had to submit the 2024 Form 1099 to support the income reported in 2024 tax return. Since I do not have any pension income, I was also asked to provide my investment portfolio which generated the passive income

April 29, 2025- Additional asset documents requested by BOI to verify liquid assets of $100K. The funds in Fidelity money market account was not acceptable

May 15, 2025- I submitted AXA insurance policy to avoid prolonged correspondences to prove that funds in Fidelity money market funds were fully liquid

May 29, 2025- Received email confirming my qualification endorsement

June 4, 2025- Received the qualification endorsement letter which was to be included with e-visa application

June 7, 2025- Applied online for e-Visa at Thai Embassy in Washington DC

June 11, 2025- Visa approval email received with e-Visa attached

Hi All. I have emailed the embassy in UK regarding a query I have. I work offshore in oil and gas on a rotational basis remotely and wondered if that would be a suitable occupation to be accepted for DTV in the remote category. Does anyone have any experience in this? My email to London Thai Embassy is as follows:

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. I work offshore remotely, and I'm writing to inquire if this is a suitable occupation to successfully get accepted for a Destination Thailand visa in the remote work category. Can you please provide more details on this and let me know if it's an option?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Once I have a response, I'll share here. Thanks

What about a REMOTE WORKER DTV when you Just start your own company, and don’t have any clients history yet.

Any experiences.?

Apparently as of May 1st Thai embassies in the US are requiring 3 months proof of access to 500,000 Bhat in liquid cash and they don’t recognize stocks or investments as liquid cash despite having instant access to them.

Has anyone encountered this yet?

I have the cash in the bank but moved it from my investments just over a month ago…

What is the amount needed for an Elite Visa?

My husband, who is European just got DTV approved in UAE. He owns a company in Dubai and therefore holds a permanent residence card. He submitted DTV documents near the end of March when he left Thailand. He ended up providing them with 6 months of bank statements from a Thai Bank, as well as 3 months of statements from REVOLUT, his company registration papers in Dubai, Hong Kong, company profile, shareholder information, and a cover letter stating that he works online from Thailand, but travels all over Asia quite regularly on business trips. The original application included only basic info and screenshots so they came back to him 2x to ask for more financial information and company information. But it was approved very quickly after the supporting info was uploaded. He had previously been going in and out of Thailand every couple of weeks on visa exempt stamps for the past 3 years. Immigration told him to get a long term visa and they recommended the DTV for someone whose home base is Thailand but travels regularly for work. He's not the traditional online worker or influencer who receives a monthly salary so I thought this might help other people who are in a similar position.
