I'm a digital nomad that has been traveling on tourist visas and surviving on less than THB 500k for the last few months. At the end of this month, I will receive a "top-up" that puts me over the 500k requirement for the DTV.

Am I not eligible for DTV until I have 3+ months of bank statements showing that amount in my account?

I read some posts in this group where people mention writing a cover letter of sorts to explain your situation. Perhaps that could improve my chances.

Maybe sponsorship is the better approach. I will be applying at the embassy in Hanoi.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi there, I don’t quite understand how to do the house contract for DTV. How can I book accommodation for 6 months if I don't first know that my visa will be approved?

Thank you

I'm on the DTV for Workcation (remote work) but am leaving Thailand today after staying for just 3 weeks. I will be gone for 3 months because I have other stuff to take care of outside Thailand. Could there be any issues with staying for a short time on the DTV, then being away from Thailand for some months, then coming back again to stay a month or two? I imagine for the Soft Power version of the DTV that may seems questionable, but for a remote worker like me it shouldn't be an issue, right?

I'm in Thailand with a DTV and planning to be here as long as the DTV allows me (with the included extensions and re-entries) to its maximum. I'm a Digital Nomad, and was wondering if my type of situation has some chance of opening a bank account in Bangkok? Sure I can hop around and ask every branch, but if someone on DTV had success in some specific branches/banks, I'd like to know.

Hello does anyone know if I can make YouTube videos in Thailand while I have a dtv visa?

Hey , so around the summer of 2027 I’m going to be leaving out the army (not retirement) I’ll be 28 and my plan is to use my gi bill to go to college full time learning Thai for 4 years. Any advice of work from home jobs certifications or savings amount and anything else that is recommended to make the move easier that I should do before I move there. I have 2 years to prep.

Does anyone has applied for DTV in Koh Samui already są digital nomad?

If so: What are the requirements?

(Anonymous for privacy reasons)

Hi,

I applied for the DTV via the Royal Thai Embassy London. I'm a British citizen, and followed the requirements to the letter (providing for example, my most recent personal bank statement showing the circa £10,000 per month payment from the company I own, with a bank balance that remained comfortably over the published 500k THB thresholds for the entire month, and a fresh (1st December - 1st April) 4 month contract for my US company to provide consulting services to a named end client company, for £40,000).

To my dismay, they have wrote back to me to request "additional documents as follows:

...

• Other request documents: - Please load a copy of your Company House stating your name and position. (please explain if you can not provide this)

• Other request documents: - A recently letter confirming employment/contract details from an employer / contractor / client or company HR stating your position and work role as remotely worker in Thailand (address to Royal Thai Embassy in London) signed by an authorised person.

• Other request documents: - Please upload your E-Ticket of your Flight booking showing your name as passenger , departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand"

The first item sounds reasonable, but I've already told them I own a US LLC, not a UK Ltd (via the application process), so there is no 'Company House stating my name and position'. I can (and will, unless you all suggest I take different approach) provide them with the incorporation documents for my US LLC alongside explaining that this is how things work for businesses incorporated in the US, but this doesn't appear to meet the letter of what they are asking for.

The 'recent[sic] letter confirming employment/contract details...' is the one that's most concerning to me, because I've already provided them what I have, which is a valid B2B contract. I'm not a sole trader and my business to business consulting services are just that - while I do provide much of the relevant service personally, the contract(s) I sign aren't 'personal service', they are for my US company to deliver an ongoing consulting service via whatever means and people I see as necessary and so as the company owner, I don't understand how I'm supposed to respond to this request. My end client is a large entity and I'm not on their payroll so their HR isn't an option. I know this is probably just a misunderstanding, but I can't see a way forward that doesn't involve me effectively writing a letter giving myself authorisation to work from Thailand as the owner of my own company, which seems illogical.

Their last request... is unhelpful for a digital nomad (especially as they haven't even granted the visa yet), but I can work around it.

Thanks all, I do appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Adam

Has anyone here apply as Content Creator? If so how did the process go? And was it an easy process? What kind of paperwork are needed in order to get the DTV? Thanks in advance..

Once you have the visa, will immigration be able to see whether it’s for digital nomad or soft power? Or will it just say Dtv visa?
