@Greta ****
Visa says, “No employment allowed.” Meaning not working for a Thai company. Thai embassy had to confirm my US Employment to make sure I had a job when I arrive, hence a digital nomad visa.

@Christopher ********

I just went ahead and got a DTV visa. Required:

1. Cost USD B$400

2. You do have to show that you’re working for a company, that you have at least $15,000 in the bank.

3. the place to stay in Thailand.

They did ask me for a copy of my current tax returns from the IRS .

The entire process took about five weeks total . 

Reason why I got this visa is it is a multiple entry visa good for five years and you could stay in Thailand six months per visit. This is a good visa because if something happens and your current plans, do not work out with whomever you are staying with in Thailand. You could always move out and stay somewhere else on your own. You don’t have to leave when the relationship breaks up. You can just simply go to Bangkok or wherever and get yourself a house or an apartment for under $500 a month and live like a local. And also you don’t need a two way ticket

Whatever you do, don’t go to the Philippines

To my understanding, you cannot get conversions. But you have to take care of it at the Thai consulate outside of Thailand 🇹🇭. The sponsor has to complete the application

Warning! Do not just go to Thailand and then worry about this. Go online and look for the Visa that you like.

I got the DTV visa cause I’m a digital nomad and I try all over the world to work for my company in the United States. You’re looking for the LTR visa, which requires your Social Security and all that other information that you have to show the government that you are self-sufficient.
