Hello, is the soft power option limited to Muay Thai or can I do it with Freediving training, let’s say 1 month training. I plan to come training regularly at good season but not always at the same location due to weather conditions.

DTV visa approved in Hanoi - Self-employed digital graphic designer (also day trading but thought to not mentioned it and apply with the simplestt option)

They will move to E-visa (may take longer to approve) but hope this post will help you regarding the docuemets anyways

* The funds was deposited into Krungthai bank same day as printing out bank statement (*2 days before appointment*) - the bank was opened in May, so it wasn't 6 months statement but also submitted Revolut along with it - The staff asked to open Krungthai bank app to show her the 500K is still in there the day of my appointment

* Got the bank certificate + notarized from the bank just in case (200Baht)

* Been in Thailand already almost 2 years- 1st year tourist + boarder run - 2nd year non-Ed

Document

1. Cover letter - mentioned self-employed - approximate income monthly- ability to work remote - keen interest to be staying in Thailand while working

2. 3 quotations + 3 invoices + 3 paid slips from the past work

3. 3 letter verification of services from last 3 customers (matching with customers from No.2)

4. Upwork earning certificate

5. Portfolio (my website + CV+Upwork profile screenshot) - 10 pages total

6. Letter of relationship and financial support from my parents (don't forget to show birth certificate showing they're your parents - I forgot but the staff was ok with it)

7. Bank statements (Krungthai - 500K- daily spending transactions (May-Sep) + Revolut - 2 transactions/ month (March - Sep)

8. Condo rent contract in Thailand + The owner Thai ID card + Tha bien ban

* Total of 55-60 pages of paper

* Try to be patient when submitting the paper work. Don't speak if they didn't ask - organize the pages according to their document requirement from A-Z.

Try to make everything easier for them, they will appreciate it. They deal with a lot of nonsense and people who showed up unprepared all day. I can't image the stress they faced on the daily basis. Be calm and be respectful, and they were very nice back to us.

* They speak perfect English

* Submitted on Monday 23 September -went to pick up passport 26 afternoon (the email came eventually but I already went to pick up my passport before that)

Thank you for everyone's info and answer from this group.

If you have any questions, I can try my best to answer.

Transfer of existing visum with EOS from an old to a new passport.

Easy peasy.

1.) Get your new passport 😉

2.) Copy ALL pages of your old passport.

3.) Copy picture page of your new passport.

4.) Fill out ½ an A4 from immigration.

5.) Go with all of the above to immigration within 1 minute.

6 ) About ½ an hour later, I had my stamp in my new passport. It is actually FOR FREE. In my case even with a new 90 day limit.

7.) TM30 notification: I did a new one online but the officer said that it is not necessary, the old printout would be OK.

Go eat a celebration noodle soup for 40 THB, and think about how old you will be in 10 years when you will have to do it again.

NB. Immigration Korat today.

Does anyone know if it’s possible for UAE residents to apply for the DTV online, or is the only option through an appointment at the Embassy?

Thanks!

Searched and just didn't find a suitable answer so please excuse if this has been covered and I glazed over it.

Scenario :

I am currently on 2nd year of non-OA visa, good until late April.

I have prints of original visa, now technically expired.

I have prints of required insurance good through late April.

The original visa is 'multiple entry'.

Neither 'stamp' in my passport shows any reference to 'multiple entry', year 1 or 2, that I can tell.

I may need to return 'home' for a short period. My biggest question is, will my multiple entry still be honored? What should I do in anticipation when leaving and returning? I expect to have prints of the original visa and the current insurance going and returning.

What can/should I expect?

Thanks!
