Apply for the DTV at the Thai Embassy in Dhaka

The Royal Thai Embassy in Dhaka handles e-Visa applications for Bangladeshi nationals and foreign residents legally staying in Bangladesh. Whether you’re a freelancer in Gulshan, a remote IT professional in Chittagong, or a digital entrepreneur in Sylhet, your application will be routed to this mission. The embassy itself does not ‘process’ or ‘adjudicate’ the DTV in a traditional sense; it simply reviews the electronic submission as part of Thailand’s centralized e-Visa system. This means you enjoy the convenience of applying from anywhere in Bangladesh with an internet connection.

Bangladesh has a thriving community of IT freelancers, online educators, and remote workers—many of whom already collaborate with Thai companies or dream of basing themselves in Thailand. The time zone difference is minimal (Bangladesh is just 1 hour behind Thailand), making it effortless to sync work schedules. Direct flights from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport to Bangkok and Phuket operate daily with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Thai Airways, and US-Bangla, so weekend recces are simple. This seamless connectivity, combined with a similar cost of living, makes the DTV especially attractive for Bangladeshi professionals seeking a change of scenery without disrupting their income streams.

For a smooth DTV application, you’ll need to present financial and professional documents that are common in Bangladesh. Bank statements from any recognized Bangladeshi bank—such as Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, or Islami Bank—are accepted, as long as they clearly show the required balance of 500,000 THB (approximately $15,000 USD). Employment credentials or freelance contracts do not require special governmental attestation; a signed letter from your employer or client, along with recent invoices or payment proofs, is typically sufficient. If you’re self-employed, a short business profile and evidence of ongoing work will strengthen your case. All documents should be in English or accompanied by a certified translation.

General guidance only — not legal advice. The DTV is applied for online via the Thai e-Visa portal; mission jurisdictions and requirements change over time. Confirm details on the official portal or let our team handle it for you.
