What steps did you take to successfully apply for a DTV visa as a freelancer in the UK?

Simon *********

Well done for getting the visa. I'm guessing your employment situation didn't neatly fit into a tick box. Timescales wise, I also applied on the 10th September in London and it was approved within 24hrs, I guess I did fit nearly into their tick box.

Should I choose the DTV visa or a retirement visa for living in Thailand after 50?

@Todd ********

tbh you can say that about any Thai visa. Why not be totally legal when the DTV is easy to get and quite cheap?

I do worry about some agents motives, do they actually suggest the best solution for you, or just the solution that potentially makes them most money.

You definitely cannot work remotely on a retirement visa, you can on a DTV.

You just need to leave the country every 180, but you can return immediately.

How can I successfully apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) through the Thai embassy in London?

Simon *********

Just got my DTV from London.

- I provided a PDF of my most recent bank statement, this only listed the last months transactions.

- I included my employment contract - it does list the I can remotely. I'm sure a letter confirming you can work remotely would be fine.

- They were very quick, I got it in about 36hrs.

What are the financial requirements for a DTV visa in Thailand, especially regarding the 500,000 Baht bank account condition?

Simon *********

I provided my most recent bank statement which was for only 1 month. This was accepted in London.

Quick very positive update - I left Thailand yesterday and submitted my DTV online application as soon as I got to the UK. My Visa arrived this evening, less than 24 hours later. 🙂

I have time when back in the UK to apply and (hopefully) get the visa. If I apply while in Thailand I risk having 2 visas which I think is a big no no.

Yes, London does seem fast, it's slightly annoying I would be breaking the rules if I applied for it now (online from Thailand)

Thank you, I don't have a re-entry permit at the moment. So that should work.
