When applying at London embassy for soft power DTV Muay Thai it says employment status i am currently unemployed with no income but substantial savings in crypto/bank

even when you choose the unemployed option it still asks for annual income any advice what to put .. there is a “no income” option or a “below $20,000” and other options with higher income brackets

Not sure what to put if i put below 20,000 will they want to see further proof of that income even if it is soft power

will i risk being denied the visa if i choose the no income option even though it is soft power and i have the 500,000 available

Hi fellow Thailand enthusiasts,

Apologies if this seems like a silly question, but I thought I’d ask. I’ll be applying for the DTV soft power visa for Thailand in Vietnam, Hanoi. My wife and our 6-month-old son will also apply as dependents under my visa.

As we prepare for the trip to Vietnam, we’re wondering if we need to stay by the embassy (to go in anytime) and how long we should plan to stay. I understand that I need to apply for my DTV first, and then I can apply for my wife and child’s dependent DTVs. However, I’m unsure about the processing times—would it take around 10 days for mine and then another 10 days for theirs, or could everything be processed simultaneously?

Has anyone here traveled as a family to Vietnam for this purpose? How long did the entire process take for you?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hello! I’ve successfully obtained my DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Penang 🥳

* Date of application submission: January 10

* Date of visa approval: January 22

In the meantime, they asked me several follow-up questions, including:

1. Why do you want to work remotely in Thailand? (like it, convenient regarding timezone...)

2. Do you need to contact any Thai partners? (no)

3. Please provide samples of your work (blablabla)

4. What's the details of your work in Thailand (blablabla)

5. Do you have an office in Thailand? (no)

6. How often do you travel to Thailand for working? (few months each year)

If you’re going through the process, feel free to ask me for advice—I’d be happy to help!

I work as an online recruiter and headhunter, helping companies worldwide find the perfect candidates for their teams.

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.

I was told by a visa agent that I can apply for the DTV visa at any embassy online. It doesn't have to be the embassy in the country where my passport is issued or the country where I am currently working. I've been told that some of the embassies in Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia) have quicker turn around times. As I plan to travel soon this would be advantageous to me. Does anyone know if this is true or has anyone done this yet?

Be cautious about providing proof of financial requirements well above minimum? Has anyone provided proof that you meet the DTV's financial requirements when you have far more in your financial institution than what is required? I have quite a bit more than the 500K THB that is the minimum requirement and feel wary about showing my actual net worth to a foreign government I haven't dealt with before. I could split some of it off into a second smaller account, but I wouldn't have a statement for that new account until the end of November and since I'll be leaving my country mid-December, I won't be here when they mail the visa to me, if I'm approved. Thoughts? Thanks.

Can you get a DTV for Muay Thai and then if you find a remote job (in a country that isn't) stop doing Muay Thai and keep the DTV?

I'm currently in Thailand on an education visa. My second 3 month extension will expire on the 29th of November. At this time I will have completed 9 months on the education visa. I don't want to do the final 3 month extension. On the 29th of November, I want to leave the country, and go to Lao, and apply for a DTV. My question: Do I need to do a cancel on the Education visa, or can I just wait until the 2nd extension expires, and go apply for the DTV.

Hello, I am looking to move to Thailand next year. I work offshore 6 months of the year (3 months off, 3 months on). With the occasional 6 week trip in between. What would be the most recommended way to go about visas?

Or just stick with the tourist visa?

Any help is appreciated
