Hi I just wanted to share my experience obtaining the DTV. I applied from Hanoi, Vietnam on 03/21 and used the soft power option, using a cooking school. I submitted the following documents:

- My Vietnam airbnb receipt

- Confirmation letter from the thai cooking school

- Proof of accommodation and flight to Thailand

- A PDF containing 6 months worth of bank statements combined with my offer letter from my US employer. Youre not required to submit an offer letter and i think they only wanted 3 months of bank statements but i wanted to demonstrate that i had sufficient income and that i do not have a thai employer. My boss is also fully aware that im in thailand and supports it

I was asked on 03/24 to submit my Vietnam entry stamp and business registration letter from the cooking school. My status immediately changed to pending approval

Officially approved on sunday 03/31.

When I arrived at BKK airport, all I did was show my DTV visa on my phone and I got my stamp. No questions asked.

The whole process was smooth and straightforward.

I'm currently working full-time and have a work permit and visa but I am considering going full-time online with the DTV visa, is this possible? What would I need to do? Can I prove my work by using a, screenshot of my students, and a spreadsheet of my income etc?

If want to work in Thailand how to find the job that they provide visa or work permit, or do you guys have any suggest agency for recruiting a job in Thailand or not?
