90 day report - When leaving Thailand (with a re-entry stamp) I was told that you don’t report again until 90 days after your return date. Is this true?

Hi, has anyone succeeded to open a bank account in Bangkok with DTV visa?

I applied for the DTV(digital nomad) visa on Friday last week, and received an addition document request today.

When originally submitting, I included the companies articles or organization and now I am being asked to submit the company’s registration. The company I am working for says that this Articles of Organization is all they have. Any suggestions?

Another super smooth re-entry, in Phuket this time, with my DTV (Workcation / German). No questions asked.

That is how the DTV works in reality for real people and not anonymous fearmongerers 😜

Enjoy your time in this beautiful country everyone 😊😍☀️

So many strange experiences are posted here. I would like to share my positive experience:

Came in on 9th August together with my daughter.

The immigration lady was very kind. I had an LTR before on my ex husbands visa. Since he retired and left, I do need my own visa and for my daughter as well.

Btw: applied for a DTV workation (process was very smooth and quick).

The lady just asked: is your husband not working anymore in Thailand. I said: "no, he is retired". No further questions - just the stamp for me and my 16 year old daughter! Great experience!

My friend has applied in London for a DTV and is yet to receive a response. His flight back to Bkk is on Wednesday evening. If he returns to Thailand and is subsequently approved can he activate his DTV simply by leaving the country ?

I’ve received my Thia E-VISA yesterday 13/08/25 i assumed it would start from the day I landed in Bangkok 18/09/25 not from yesterdays date . Have i assumed wrongly.

I received my DTV visa as a freelancer last week and wanted to share my experience for those interested in what happened and how it worked.

1 - I used an agency - it was important to me to have some kind of intermediary - don't think it was necessary but it gave me a bit of security. For the next time, they are not necessary, and I propobably will not use.

2 - I am and US Citizen who who not lived in the US for many years and so do not have a US residence. I was advised that it would be best for me to file my application from Vietnam. I did so from Hanoi

3 - My documentation was submitted to the agency in advance and I shared my VN entry stamp with the agency on arrival in VN - that was a Monday. The application was submitted on Tues morning

4 - On Thursday I got notice that some additional documents were requested - I provided them and they were submitted.

5 - My visa was approved on the following Thursday - and I entered Thailand from MY on Saturday - with a print out in hand. The IO indicated that I should have it physically with me at every entry - as there is no "Viisa" attached physically to my passport as I have gotten in other countries.

What I would do differently:

I would organize my documents differently - and include an Index showing what documents were submitted to support what request - eg I submitted two contracts for consulting work - with no explanation - did indicate to the agency - but I am not sure they submitted or that if they did they were understood - one requrest for follow up was to document my ability to earn...... redundant from my POV but would have been better to have the Index showing what documents and if needed adding explanation.

As noted I would probably not use an agency again as they did not really represent me - they tood care of the admin - I am now asking them for some follow up on what my ongoing resposibilities are for registration etc. I have had to ask for explanation the agency is not providing the information unless I ask.

Even with the inquiry it still took only 8 business days to get the Visa, and in the end for the first effort it was worth it for me to use the agency.

Hope this is helpful as a recent experience.

I am a Canadian citizen
