I applied online for the DTV (Remote Work) visa in Jakarta on 17 February 2025 and received it on 20 February 2025.

I topped up most of the balance from a crypto exchange the day before printing my personal bank statement. The statement, covering the period from early January, was printed at the bank and stamped.

I also provided the company’s shareholder certificate and a letter from me the director confirming that I can manage the company remotely from Thailand.

The process was very smooth overall.

On the Thai embassy website for the DTV file it asks for the departure date. What should I indicate? 180 days after my arrival or 5 years ?

Hello, I saw we had to apply for a DTV outside Thailand but I had to come before my Visa was accepted. Is it ok if I submit a Thailand to Malaysia and Malaysia to Thailand ticket return flight ? I want to avoid they say I'm in Thailand when I applied for the Visa and refuse it.

I saw one way ticket was ok and I am hesitating to buy a one way ticket from Malaysia to Thailand instead.

Thx

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

Hi, has anyone applied for a non-o Thai visa in Vientiane recently?

Last I knew you had to make an appointment, no walk-ins allowed. But when I click the link for the website it says the domain has expired.

But if you want to apply for an e-visa I understand you have to be in Laos when you apply and it can take 10-15 days.

I’m just curious what other people have done concerning this?

Also, when applying for a follower visa in Laos has the original marriage/birth certificate been enough or do you need any sort of other paperwork providing proof of relationship?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi , I arrived in Thai with visa exemption 60 days. I like to extend to 30 days . Do I go to the IT sqaure Lak Si or Government Complex ? Do I also need the embassy letter apart from TM7 forms, copies and original of passport , visa pages and TM30?

Has anyone applied for the DTV from Manila, Philippines with a US passport and can share their experience?

I know although requirements are generally the same, the actual process and approval feedback differs between embassies. Thanks.

Just had my visa approved from Canberra Australia under soft power medical, I first applied on 2nd Feb, 3 times they asked for additional documents,

A photo, as they didn't believe the first one was less than 6 months old.

A support letter from my husband as he financially supports me.

Certificate of registration from the medical center I am being treated for my menopause for.

It then sat on pending approval from 7th February.

Now applying for my husband's spouse visa

Recent successes obtained in DTV in Vientiane as part of soft power activities especially in muay thai? thanks a lot
