I don’t think I’ve seen a Pakistan approval for DTV. Only Pakistan seem to be offering Multiple Entry for 6 months…. Please do report back after hearing from them.

Which gym is it you’re applying thru? They should be able to supply all the documents you need….

1 - it depends where you apply from for the 6 months of savings. If you’re going to apply from the UK, normally it’s 3 months minimum, but can sometimes be 1 month. Strange huh.

2 - there are a multitude of documents required, a few things need to be answered first; are you both going to apply separately? Will one apply and then add the other as a dependent?

3 - financial requirements are only that you have the 500K equivalent in a UK bank account. They can (and probably will ask for things like the companies house reg document & potentially evidence of you being paid from the company. You will also probably need a letter (this sounds crazy) written by yourself, to yourself, confirming that you are permitted to work remotely & that you will not be doing anything with Thai clients or anything which goes against the laws of the kingdom.

4- The only way to apply now is via the online process, it’s now an eVisa application and you can choose where to do it from. If you’re in the UK, you may aswell do it from the UK - just be sure you meet the requirements. The search function works amazing on this group & will give you a lot of details to your questions which have already been asked 100 times in the past.

5 - there is no fastest and easiest way. Some people say that if you apply at certain embassies, that it can be a quicker approval rate. However some people have also got a quick turnaround from applying in UK - it can really depend.

6 - The visa, once approved is valid for 5 years. If you don’t plan to leave for 6 months, I’d advise waiting so as to not lose 6 months of the visa. There is no expiry date (apart from the 5 years of course)

Hope this helps :)

you’ll find it a little harder to navigate, compared to how long and easy PH allow you to extend/stay.

60 day visa on arrival does not exist. The 60 day exempt, is a stamp on arrival which (for the moment) will give you 60 days to stay in the Kingdom.

You don’t have any of the documents required to prove you’re actually operating as a functioning remote worker or sole trader.

What you need is things like:

Portfolio of work completed

Contracts with clients

Previous payments received for work completed

As it currently stands, you’re better off applying via soft power, as you don’t yet meet the requirements. You’ve applied pre maturely

can you please utilise the search function on the page? It will give you amazing answers which have already been provided to these questions multiple times.

To answer your question, you’re a business owner. As stupid and crazy as this sounds, write yourself a letter, from you as the director on company headed paper; to confirm that 1. You are able to work remotely & 2. You do not have any Thai Clients & that the work which is carried out, fully complies with all laws of the Kingdom of Thailand.

They may well come back for it, or they may not, worst case is it delays the approval when they come back and ask for additional information. Nothing to stress about either way in its entirety.

that’s fine. However, I’d recommend creating an invoice, or receipt. May be wise also to highlight the credits coming into the account which relate to your work, as it will make it easier. There is no income requirement as such, but they will want to see certain things; so just try to make it as easily understandable for them as possible.
