If I am getting royalties that pay for my living does that qualify as a work DTV? I file taxes under a sole proprietorship but could show the monthly deposits from the companies that pay me.

Just wondering, I fortunately (or unfortunately) already have the Medical soft power DTV as I need to go to thailand for a lot of medical care anyway.

Hi all! Where in Vietnam can I apply for the DTV? I'm currently on Phu Quoc island, can I apply and get the DTV here? As far as I understand one must apply online, but where do they place the visa sticker in your passport?

I will stay here until end of April. Is it OK if I apply for and get the visa 2 months before I intend to go to Thailand, or should I wait and only apply closer to my travel date?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. Questions keep coming up trying to apply for a dtv. Do we need evidence of residence when applying? I'm planning to stay at my friends condo and I'm planning to pay rent there. What's the best way to show that?

Also, to show 500,000 in the bank would the most current bank statement be enough? Thanks for the help.

Apply my DTV and got an email today , they want a cleaner version of my bank statement . Previously i sent 20 pages on a pdf maybe that was too much ??

Just got the DTV in Manila! I submitted all the requested documents through the E Visa (I own my own business and was able to show bank statements from the business) and they requested details on my business and services, paperwork showing I founded and own the business, and the business license. I was staying here for a couple weeks and just used my hotel booking as proof of location and it was approved within a week.

So just putting it out there that Manila is a great option for applying!

I have a current Non-B with re-entry. I left the country on this visa and then was approved for DTV while in Canada. When returning to Thailand, can I come back on the new DTV and cancel the other one once I arrive? Or do I need to return on the Non-B visa and then cancel, leave the country again, and return on the DTV.

Is it okay to apply for DTV online through Hanoi while in another city, Like Da Nang?

Also, What forms of payment are accepted?

I’ve got a question🙋🏻‍♀️ since DTV is now applying online, if I go to Hong Kong and apply it online on the first day, then I go back to Thailand for say 7 days and I go back to Hong Kong on the 8th days and collect the visa (or it’s just by email??) and go back on the 9th? Or I can already get the visa approve online between the 2-8th days when I’m in Thailand ??

hello! I’m currently in Thailand. to apply for the online dtv, where do i have to be physically? Vietnam/Indonesia?

Success with Remote Work DTV in Ho Chi Minh in mid-Dec and Children's Dependent DTV in Jakarta the day after Christmas (WITH travel during process):

I can't say for sure the Thais don't allow you to travel during the application process (many other countries do), but I think the key thing is to NOT travel to Thailand, during the process and explain where you've been.

I applied in HCM with:

- work contract,

-payslips,

- savings bank statements,

- letter from employer confirming work and ability to work remotely.

*I used the SmallPDF app for converting, combining, editing, finishing docs (highly recommend!).*

Stayed a few days and then had to leave Vietnam. They came back asking for bank statements showing salary received highlighted. Took approx 3 working days for initial submission to be reviewed, not quite 2 working days to be approved after additional docs provided. (Note, sometimes the requests come later in the evening Thai time - 8pm and later - so do keep an eye on your inbox if you're in a rush.)

By this time, I was in Indonesia. I applied for the children's visas to the Jakarta embassy sending:

- my visa,

-same (combined) bank statements, payslips, etc,

- work contract,

- birth certificates

- a letter from the hotel confirming we were in Indonesia.

- *a personalised letter of support (from me to the children) - template from Gemini AI*

Took approx 4 days for initial review (not incl Christmas holiday). We left Indonesia for Singapore. They came back asking for entry stamps and visa docs. Indonesia had stamped out over the entry stamp. We got on the ferry to Batam, received new 7 day Visa on Arrival (half price).

Sent back photos of both entry and the one exit stamps, both visa slips, and ALL passport pages (for the children only).

I included a letter saying we were in Indonesia when we applied, but had to return to Singapore for the Christmas festivities, but that they were now in Indonesia again and that the children had NOT travelled to Thailand (evidenced by ALL passport pages).

They approved the next working day.

Note, the application did not ask for permission from the other parent (many countries do), which is not to say they can't when you travel.
