Am I in trouble due to a typo in my DTV application cover letter?

Elías ********

I don't think this would be a problem. A typo in the letter might be OK. A typo on the passport info is a sure rejection, tho.

What are the rules regarding staying in Thailand after a 6-month training on a DVT visa and the 500,000 Baht requirement?

Elías ********

yes, but it doesn't need to be 180 days. Every time you exit Thailand, after staying here for whether a few days, a few weeks, one month or five months, you get 180 days upon each entry.

Are you on soft power or remote work? In my case I wrote "Company Name"*+ remote job, and in address well, the address of my accommodation in Thailand. (My DTV was granted for remote work).

Can I use cash for rent and bills in Thailand on a DTV visa without a bank account?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo it's the same here. You can pay everything with transfer/QR if you use the TrueMoney app, which is open for foreigners.

Also, if you're from another Asian country (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc.) you can even use your country native apps to pay here.

It being a tourist visa and not being allowed to open a bank account are two different and unrelated things.

Said so, why would you carry cash?

Do I need a business visa and work permit to rent a night market stall in Thailand on a DTV visa?

Elías ********

Bank interest? Without a bank account? As for a condo, I was told that I couldn't legally rent it, because if so, I'll get Thai income, and it isn't allowed. For shares, yes, even tourists can do that.

It's not possible. The DTV DOESN'T allows you to earn money from within Thailand. You can't get a work permit, either (on a DTV).

Can you apply for a DTV visa in Thailand with only a short-term hotel booking?

Elías ********

My embassy didn't require a proof of stay. I submitted a one month booking for an Airbnb and I got the DTV. Applied in Seoul, Korea.
