Hey ya'll....quick question for the DTV. The application asks for accommodation and flight info. Do I need to actually book or can I just put what I'm planning on?

Thanks all!

I’m going in a few days to apply online for my DTV in Bali and have some questions for you all. Thank you!! 🙏

1. When they ask for accommodation name in the address section what should you enter if it’s a house you’re renting (not a hotel or condo)? You can’t leave it blank 🤷‍♀️

2. If asked to show a hotel reservation in Indonesia does it need to be in Jakarta (where the embassy is) or is Bali ok?

3. With the new US passports, I’m not sure if when they ask for the biopage they won’t both sides or just the main page with the majority of info?

4. Did anyone need to show TM30 in addition to lease document for rental home in Thailand?

Hi.

With the new TDAC does it mean I have to show all my bookings for accomodation in advance,paid for and receipts?

Hey everyone. I filed for a 60 day tourist visum online (I'll probably get a 60 day exemption when I land but that one can't be extended) . Probably due to Songkran nothing happened for ten days. Then a mail came in this afternoon, asking for more documents. I can provide those, mostly, but I'm flying tomorrow evening. Should I still try? They want my flight ticket from Kuala Lumpur (where I'm now) to Thailand and my flight out. The first one I have, the second I can book. But then it gets complicated:

(From the Embassy email):

Travel booking confirmation: Please upload flight ticket from Indonesia to Kuala Lumpur and flight ticket out of Thailand (please make sure the accommodation is covering the whole stay in Thailand).

Document indicating current location: Please upload stay permit in Indonesia.

Now the stay permit in Indonesia is not a very clear document nowadays. But I can see what I can do. But I only have a hotel booked for the first week, after that it's still open. What can I do? Any help is appreciated

(Yes, I want to go for a pension visum after this, but first spend more time here to make sure. Been in Thailand for 4 months last year, in two separate journeys)

Hey all! Thanks for sharing all your info. I got approved for my DTV workcation from US. I went the DTV route as I was denied access to BKK about a month ago.

Now that I have the proper documentation I am planning to re-enter BKK tomorrow. Of course I am nervous now 😅even though I did everything correctly. When I arrive and they ask me how long I would I like to stay and what will I be doing. Shouldn’t I be able to say 180 days and that I will be enjoying the country and working as a digital nomad on my computer?

Any recommendations on how to best answer these questions?

When applying for the DTV visa in Hanoi:

1. Do I need to show proof of an onward flight to Thailand?

2. Do I also need to provide proof of hotel booking or accommodation in Thailand?

I’m prepared to provide both if necessary — just want to confirm what’s required.

Hi guys,

Im doing my dtv paperwork now, submitting from Jakarta.

There's a question about accomodation in Thailand, but I was going to wait and get a new lease when I arrive.

Do I just put the hotel address that I have booked for a week for when I arrive? Will they accept that?

Has anyone had experience with this?

Is it okay with the immigration officer if I show only a two-week hotel booking, even though I plan to stay in Thailand for 60 days starting this April 1? I want to find a better place in Phuket by walking in rather than booking online, and I will book the rest of my stay later when I arrive there.

I hope someone can give me a good idea.

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask, when applying for the DTV visa, are you suppose to have booked your flight and accommodation before hand?

Happy to say I got my visa through at 15:30 today.

Soft Power

Applied 24th Feb HCMC, asked for 6 months accomodation 26th, sent a hotel booking for two 3 months stints which are cancellable.

Was on pending approval 27th and authorised today.

Thanks for all the advice.

Back to Thailand tomorrow.
