I am from EU, and I plan to apply for DTV visa as a remote worker (in Hanoi or HCMC, or maybe Taipei), but I struggle with a requirement of job contract, or a contract with a client.

I have as my income is more of a "passive". I don't work for clients, I work for myself and sell my own mobile applications on Play Store & Apple Store. I get paid monthly by Google / Apple. It's kinda similar as selling a book on Amazon or living off Youtube content etc.

All I can show is a link to these stores with my apps & my name next to it. Would that be sufficient proof/document?

Or would it be better to just apply for soft power using an agent? Thank you!

DTV Approved today via Jakarta

Soft Power Muay Thai

- Sat Feb 15 submitted Application

- Mon Feb 17 processing documents

- Wed Feb 19 changed to pending approval in the morning, then approved by 6:00 p.m. same day

DOCUMENTS:

- Documentation + schedule from Muay Thai gym

- Booking confirmation, address and phone number of local Indo accommodation

Used iLovePDFs to consolidate all the documentation

NOTE of encouragement for older women:

I'm almost 60 years old and was a bit concerned about applying via Muay Thai.

I asked the gym owner if he had any women members over 55.

In fact he has quite a few including a woman who is 79 so this was very encouraging for me.

I'm really looking forward to learning Muay Thai!

Initially I was going to pay an agent to help process the visa but I'm very glad that I did this myself.

Thank you to all the thoughtful members who have shared their experience to help others

Good Luck Everyone, Cheers

I got my DTV (workation) in Phnom Penh. Thanks to all the people who posted here who gave useful information.

I didn't overdo the requirements. Just submitted the following:

1. Current bank statement

2. Entry stamp

3. Letter explaining my work (I am an online ESL teacher. [No company])

4. Screenshots of the lessons I conducted with my current students. (My students are not from Thailand.)

5. Screenshot of my LinkedIn profile.

I submitted the application on Feb 4 and received an email at around 22:00 on Feb 17.

When submitting with a sponsor, in addition to a sponsorship letter and bank statements is anything else required? Should I include a copy of their passport or ID?

Spouse financial evidence - is it ok if I put my bank account (same papers i used for my DTV approval) for my wife and child in the financial evidence or do I need to put something else?

DTV (Remote worker) Approved within 10days (6 working-days)!

I gathered the following documents and submitted as per the required & paid 120,000 Rs (13700 bath). [[members only])

- Biodata page of Passport.

- Digital Photograph.

- Current location proof in PDF.

- Financial evidence: amount of 500,000+ THB (used fixed deposit & bank balance), bank statements & sponsorship letter from the company. All documents in one PDF.

- Employment contract in PDF.

After 2 days asking to upload all pages of my passport & upload.

After 2 I had an Interview at the Embassy in Colombo with all the hardcopies that were submitted & had a quick discussion (5 minutes).

Today got the Approved with a very easy process.

Thanks for everyone 🤘 & I have one question for you about the flight booking, do I need to show the round-way air tickets at the airport immigration?

Hey folks, can I ask what the UK requirements are for the 500,000 baht for the DTV (how many months in bank). Thanks so much 🙏

Hi all

Any chance to let me know please

which embassy requires showing 500 000 bath in the last 3 months in the bank accoun ?

Thank You

Does the 500,000 baht have to be in one single account or can it be spread across a couple of accounts all in my name?

What are the advantages of having a Thai bank account except from QR Payments? I usually pay or withdraw by european credit card or exchange cash and never felt missing a Thai credit card. I dont't get it yet.
