Along with passport and recent photo, I submitted only a screenshot of my bank balance and my 2 year remote work contract from a company in Myanmar.
emailed to come in for interview 4 days later.
I was way over prepared for the interview with many months of bank statements, visa history in Myanmar, photos of me at work, website, copies of my degrees....
Interview lasted about 3 minutes. They had about 20 people report at the same time and you had to take a queue number and wait. They asked me how long I would be in Thailand, (I'm not sure, but at least 90 days) and would I do any work in Thailand other than remote work (No). That was it.
Approval notice within the hour.
It was the same day the notice came from Yangon that they were not going to issue any further tourist visas. The company that my contract is from anticipates having trouble in the future with business visa as well. So this post maybe isn't that useful for this group. I couldn't find much info about applying in Yangon when I was researching in anticipation of my application, so I thought I would just record my experience.
I am planning to apply the DTV visa as a freelancer in February. I'm from Myanmar, and currently, currently I'm holding an ED Visa. Either in Hanoi or Myanmar, I intend to apply for the DTV visa. Could I ask you some questions?
1. As my clients are based in Myanmar, my fees are in MMK. I use a reliable unofficial money exchanger (known as Hundi in Myanmar) to convert MMK to THB. Will my 500,000 Thai Baht be recognised as formal evidence of funds?
2. My clients are small business owners and film production companies. They don’t use letterheads for payslips; they simply transfer payments through mobile banking. Is it enough by providing screenshots of the bank transfers and bank statements from Myanmar? Or if not, how can prepare official payslips in this case?
3. In your opinion, which country is the best option for freelancers to apply for the DTV visa?
All of your advice would be helpful a lot for this process.
When does the Yangon embassy add new appointment slots?
I’ve been trying to book an appointment for a DTV visa at the Thai embassy in Yangon for over a week now but it’s always full. I’m checking about 5 times a day. First I thought they added new times at midnight but that wasn’t the case. It seems like they’re opening up new slots between 1 am and 8 am? Hoping someone can confirm.
Hey everyone, I'm interested to know what Thai embassies that are close to Thailand or a short flight away to get a DTV visa and are done within a week?
