You should confirm with the Jakarta embassy if a recent deposit of 500k is ok with 3-6 mths of statements. Similar approvals have been made recently but best to confirm as things can quickly change.

chipped-wood July 10, 11 were Thai National holidays so those days would not count. Depending on time of submission the next day after submitting can be day 1. What day, did you apply? You have received no request for additional documents?

Anonymous participant provide details of how your business operates online, submit your business registration, evidence of income, write a letter to yourself giving permission for you to work in Thailand remotely. A lot of posts to help you apply yourself.

Lots of those posts in the threads

Will need a long term plan beyond 6 months. 6months of treatment can lead to an METV being issued instead of the DTV.

I submitted bank statements and other forms with different name forms as you mentioned. No issue getting approved. The name rejection thing is more to do with a mismatch with the name on the application and passport.

Minimal tax implications does not mean minimum tax.

@Jim ******

I said minimal tax implications not zero. Depends on situation, I have the DTV I do not need to pay tax in Thailand. People work online all over the world, it is not unusual for an IBMER to work from Thailand. Having a DTV gives you the choice to work a month in Thailand or 6mths to a year or longer. The flexibility of working online in Thailand is what is about, it is not that big of a deal

Anonymous participant Having an interview is a significant step for approval. it is your preference to print or keep docs in PDF form. i add an interview in Taipei it was simple. You should check the threads about interviews in Malaysia. You will be fine, just relax and answer questions directly.

The DTV attracts a wide range of ages and significant numbers of families and retirees. It is not going to be scrapped soon at all. Minimal tax implications for the vast majority of DTVERS.
