Hello, good evening, if anyone knows that can I transfer my business visa(company with 2 work permit) to DTV visa or no? If It's possible is the process easy or not? Any advice or suggestions would be perfect, thank you in advance 🙏🏽

Hello. I am planning to attend VIV Asia 2025 in Thailand and was wondering if anyone knows what type of visa I can apply for besides the Tourist (MICE) visa. The MICE visa requires a letter from TCEB, which I do not have. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Just got the DTV in Manila! I submitted all the requested documents through the E Visa (I own my own business and was able to show bank statements from the business) and they requested details on my business and services, paperwork showing I founded and own the business, and the business license. I was staying here for a couple weeks and just used my hotel booking as proof of location and it was approved within a week.

So just putting it out there that Manila is a great option for applying!

Hi, I received a request for an interview after applying online. However, I haven’t been given a specific appointment yet. Could you please advise on the possible questions they might ask? I applied as an online business owner and have already submitted all the required documents.

With Buisness Visa, if my buisness address in bkk but my resident address in another city, it will cause issues to report the immigration?

EXPERIENCE ARRIVING IN PHUKET TODAY:

Left Phuket on a business visa (planning to return and cancel it before activating DTV)

Went through the ‘fast track’ at immigration and they said I had to enter on DTV (I didn’t tell them I had DTV, it obviously just came up on their system).

I told them I was advised I had to come back and cancel my business visa and work permit but they asked a few staff and said that wasn’t correct so stamped me in on DTV.

They were very pleasant about it so just an FYI!

Hello. I'm asking for advice. I applied for a DTV visa while was in Bulgaria. I arrived in Thailand with tourist visa for 60 days and two weeks later I saw that I was approved for a DTV visa as a business owner. Now I need to leave Thailand and enter on a DTV visa. Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Thank you very much for your help. I'm a little worried.😊

* Im a bit confused with this type of visa :

One-year non-immigrant visa Thailand multiple-entry: This visa allows you to enter and exit Thailand multiple times. If you opt for this route, you can upgrade it to a business visa once your work permit application has been successfully processed.

Can you extend this visa annually and keep the business without a workpermit? Or do you get it only one year to start the business?

Anyone else use a screenshot of bank account when applying? Washington Thai embassy. Workcation. Business owner.

Things I included in the application :

-Texas ID for proof of location

-Articles of formation and EIN letter from IRS

-Screenshot of my website

-Screenshot of my Shopify sales report for 12 months

-Letter stating that I am the sole owner of my business with hundred percent ownership, statement that I don’t have any clients in Thailand and only have customers in North America Europe

-Screenshot of bank balance with $24,000.

My account is a business account with my business name on it, but I can get a letter from the bank stating I am sole owner of account.
