The annual extension on my Non-O based on family is up on April 1st. I'll be out of the country before then. What is the last date that I can apply for the next annual extension? All docs and funds are in place and ready to go again. Monday 24th March should be okay? or is the week before too close? TIA.

Hi all! I found all the updates extremely helpful, so I thought I'd post my own timeline.

I got approved for my DTV today (17/02). The email came through right at 6 pm local time. I submitted an application for the digital nomad subtype on 03/02 at 22:30 from Siem Reap. The status changed to pending approval the next morning, and it took exactly 10 business days to process from that point.

I submitted a screenshot of my online profile (with an embedded link) on a large, freelance marketplace that shows over 1,600 hours booked, high hourly rate, and several hundred client feedback ratings/comments. I included a short letter of intention and the general freelancer contract provided by the platform I market myself on. It's a general contract that essentially says I'm a freelancer and not an employee.

I provided my January 2025 savings account statement with beginning balance around $8000 USD and ending balance of $16000 USD with several deposits over the month from my personal checking to get the balance to the required 500,000 baht. I also provided a lease for an apartment that I signed when I was there in December. I wasn't asked for any additional documents. I have an American passport.

That's about it. Even though I had no reason to think it would be rejected, I was really nervous the whole time. But from what I can tell, if you are a legit digital nomad, there's no reason to stress☺️

Hey everyone, I want to share my DTV process

Soft Power ( for Me-Muy Thai) gym in Bkk

(My partner-Thai cooking classes)

No agent needed

My partner and I applied at HCMC on Jan 29 with a return ticket to Thailand on Feb 10 😳 We didn’t realize that offices would be closed for the Lunar New Year Holiday and would reopen on Feb 3.

This posed an obvious issue

1. When applying for a Vietnam Visa we used our flight dates expecting to leave on the 10th.

After reading comments in the group, we accepted the fact that a possible delay would cause us to extend our visas in Vietnam and possibly purchase additional flights back to Thailand at a later date.

We remained hopeful and watched our status daily.

Timeline:

Jan 29th -Applications submitted

Feb 5th - I was approved at 2:50pm with no request for additional documents

However my partner needed to submit additional documents (6 months of bank statements, which was already submitted originally) sometimes this happens, just resubmit

Documents re-submitted same day

After submitting additional statements

Feb 6th- my partner receive “pending approval“ then later approved

This process took 3 business days! 🙌🏾

Thank you for all the information/support in this group!

Planning on going to Thailand in May. When should I apply for the DTV?

Hey guys,

Is there anyone who has received approval from Phnom Penh after 10 business days? Today is my 10th day and I still haven't heard anything. I've had no requests for extra documents and it went to Pending Approval on the same day.

LAST UPDATE. Finally i got my DTV visa☺. I just wanted to share the timeline in Hanoi (from my experience): Applied on dec 23, requested business registration on dec 24, requested previous thai visas on january 7 (morning), DTV visa approved january 7 (afternoon).

Hi guys. I am a bit worried. I came to Hanoi hoping to get my DTV Visa approved quick. However it's been 2 weeks since I applied (I applied dec 23) and I haven't received approval, and I feel kind of stuck here. What should I do? 😔.

Hi.

Please, need your advice ASAP.

We are family of 4 and have tickets for February 8.

1. Is it risky to apply at 1.1, wait for my visa and then the dependants'? Is it enough time?

2. If we apply for dtv visa and won't get it until the flight, can we still come on tourist visa and apply again from Vietnam or similar? The question is - do the process of the dtv stops the opportunity to come as tourists? To apply again from somewhere else?

We can't change our flight, it is fixed and very expensive.

We have all the documents ready. House waiting for us and school as well.

Please help🙏🙏

DTV approved !!!

Big big thanks to everybody in the forum.

Soft power via Muay Thai route in Hanoi.

I could apply through my company but it was much more of a hassle.

Applied Saturday 14th of December and got it Friday 20th the same month.

Monday documents were checked and moved to 2nd step "pending approval".

No extra documents were asked.

And Friday got it.

Thank you Thailand 🇹🇭

Just completed the form on the website (not app). Last time I tried it failed, apparently wasn't working..?

Anybody had success recently?? Is it working now?

Posting anon as no one knows our plans yet.

I’ve looked on here and can’t seem to find an answer. So hoping someone can help.

We plan on entering Thailand in Jan 2025. If I apply for a DTV now, if approved, how long do you have to fly in to Thailand?

Just trying to gauge when we should apply to the UK embassy.

Thank you in advance
