Top Muay Thai gym shares 5 tips on how to apply for a DTV visa
Since the launch of the DTV visa, now the preferred option for digital nomads, remote workers, and frequent participants in Muay Thai courses, there has been significant interest from foreigners worldwide. However, many are confused about the application process.
FITFAC Muay Thai Gym, a reputable gym with over 11 locations in Bangkok and one of the few gyms in Thailand recognised by the Ministry of Education to issue supporting documents for the DTV visa, has shared 5 key tips to help guide applicants through the process of successfully applying for the DTV visa.
- Prepare your financial statement early: The first step for anyone preparing to apply for the DTV visa is to move your financial assets (whether in investment accounts or crypto accounts) into a savings account and let them remain there for at least 3 months before submitting your financial statement to the Thai embassy. It’s crucial to start this process early and avoid using visa agents, as some may produce fraudulent documents. Thai embassies are now equipped with advanced technology to detect fake financial documents.
- Apply from your country of residence: Many Thai embassies abroad now use the e-visa system and are most familiar with supporting documents issued within their own country. For example, if you are a UK resident, it’s much easier to apply at the Thai embassy in London than at the Thai embassy in Frankfurt, as the Thai embassy staff in London are more accustomed to verifying UK-issued documents. Applying from your home country is often the simplest and most cost-effective approach.
- Check the correct Embassy jurisdiction: Some countries, like Canada, have multiple Thai embassy offices. If applying online, ensure you choose the correct embassy based on your jurisdiction. Submitting your application to the wrong embassy may result in delays or rejection.
- Double-check for typos: Thai embassies are known for strict scrutiny regarding typos, particularly with names, surnames, and passport numbers. Ensure all information on your application matches your documents exactly. Any typo could result in visa rejection, and embassy fees are non-refundable. From our experience, there is no right to appeal for typographical errors.
- Unsure about workcation documents? Opt for the soft power route: Workcation support documents are ideal for those with legitimate proof that they are permitted to work remotely anywhere in the world. However, freelancers may find it challenging to provide such documents or even a tax return for freelance work. If you’re not 100% confident about your workcation documentation, the Thai government offers an alternative: attending a Muay Thai or cooking school.
