Any Australians here who WFH and lives in Thailand?

👋 Hi, Any Australian here applied DTV with softpower? I am considering applying DTV with culinary class and after a bit of research I found a couple of courses in BKK that I could attend. My question is my husband will be travelling with me once I get the dtv visa. According to the research that I’ve done, he is eligible to be with me as dtv visa holder spouse as long as we show enough fund to cover in our bank account. My questions are:

1) has anyone done softpower dtv in Australia if so, how easy/difficult was the process?

2) In the case of partner visa to the DTV visa holder, do they get the same entry eligibility ie, can stay upto 180 days with multiple entries for 5 years?

3) I would prefer the DTV eligible culinary classes in places like Hua Hin or Chiangmai however I couldn’t find any DTV eligible culinary classes outside of BKK. Does anyone know such course outside of BKK? Any advise from any Australians who have done this would be much appreciated. TIA

Hi Everyone,

I am curious to know if your DTV visa is approved do you need to submit your passport to the embassy or is it an electronic visa so no need?

I ask this as I am working remotely in Papua New Guinea and would normally apply through Australia but I won’t be in Australia during this time and plan to be back with a stop over in Singapore and then on to Phuket on the 18/12/2024.

I’m an Australian expat that has lived in Thailand for the last 15 years but this is a new one for me and have always had a Non O Spouse visa multiple entries but that is no longer available.

Thanks for your help.

Just submitted my DTV application yay! Applied as digital nomad from Australia. Cost $600 AUD. Will update this post with the progress.

EXCITED!!

I'm a 48yo Australian digital nomad looking to secure a Thai Digital Nomad DTV. However, I'm already living as a digital nomad, so the only residence I have is a rented condo in Thailand.

After a costly $900 rejection trying to apply for the at the Budapest Thai Embassy while on holiday (they only serve Hungarian nationals), I now have two options:

1) Try again from Phnom Penh Cambodia when I travel there in Oct. I have a hotel booked for 2 weeks and plans to return to Thailand afterwards.

2) Wait until I return to Australia at Christmas. Note though that don't own or rent anything in Australia. I stay with my sister when there, so can't prove residence in the normal ways.

Any advice? Has anyone faced applying for this thing while already travelling the globe?

Turn 50 next year and desiring retirement visa. So will need a suitable visa for the next 12 months

Hey, we are currntly long term travelling and want to apply for the DTV, we are in Vietnam and are from Aus, we are coming to Thailand mid September, how can we apply outside of Australia? sorry ive looked and im super confused. Thanks heaps!

I’m from Australia and have just used the Evisa application for the Thai Embassy in Canberra,

Overall the application soft ware is a bit clunky and slow but I submitted my application on 21/05 and got my response this morning 28/05 so I’m happy and can’t complain about the process. 🥸😁🍻

Hi I’m Australian and wondering if it’s still possible to enter Thailand with visa exempt for 30days with possibility of extended for further 30days?

Just wondering if anyone has tried to do the e visa from Australia to get a non O visa. We are retiring in May and I am trying to get the Non O visa in the new system but it does not seem to be working. When I put in Australia as my current place of living it won’t let me progress. Yes on the previous page it says that is the correct web site and yes I can apply there.
