Oh dear me. There is a shock. You cannot work in Thailand, even remotely, on an Elite Visa. Pretty much redundant with DTV. Unless I am missing something.[members only]

I currently live in the U.S and we’re planning on moving to Thailand this June. I plan on applying for my DTV next month but when you add your spouse to your DTV, does there visa have any restrictions or would it be the same DTV like will they be able to leave and come back freely on their own?  and is it better to apply online or at a consulate general office?

I’m aware of the Pros, but what are some on the Cons people have experienced with the DTV?

I am on a DTV visa as a freelancer. Can I open an online shop, make handmade artwork, sell and ship from Thailand to non-Thai customers, or will this be considered a local business? Any advice?

Can Chinese people apply for DTV visa in Vientiane Embassy?🙏🏻

Has anyone tried to open a bank account while on the DTV? I found a post about someone trying in Chiang Mai, back in august, with no luck. I live in Bangkok and wondering if anyone was able to open one? 🏦

How difficult to open a bank account with this new visa?

```

it is almost impossible to open a bank account with DTV visa in chiang mai. Yesterday a friend tried to open it and visited six different bank branches yesterday but they all answered NO! DTV is not allowed to open because its maximum period of stay upon entry is less than 1 year.😨

Hi everyone,

Some questions about obtaining or transferring to a DTV visa. I recently left my job working in a Thai school to teach exclusively online and wish to obtain a DTV visa as a 'digital nomad'. I am currently staying in Thailand (with a registered address) on a tourist visa. What is the process for applying for a DTV visa; must one exit Thailand first to submit an application from a foreign country, and must the applicant stay in that country during the processing of the visa?

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Good evening,

Does anyone know if there is a limitation on the number of times you can enter Laos with a new visa on arrival each time? I went to Laos to try to get a Non b now in July (flew in and got a visa on arrival) but couldn’t due to not having a booking, my husband wants to go away this long weekend and we thinking of going to Vientiane by train (so will get new visa on arrival), then planning to go again in August(with a new visa on arrival) to get my Non B (I have a booking at Vientiane). Just wanting to know if Laos will not allow me to go into Laos again for a third time so soon?
