Is there anyone who reapply the DTV visa application during one year which has been rejected once? Could share experiences us?

I would like to share my experience. I have received the approval for DTV Soft Power in September from the Thai Embassy in Paris (I am French).

I have applied with Arun Cooking School for their 6 months course. The application was prepared with the help of a visa agency in Bangkok.

Visa was approved by the Embassy. However when entering Thailand to activate it this weekend, they were reluctant at first because I had already spent some time as a tourist before during the year.

Immigration officers in Suvarnabhumi were super nice and calm during the whole process. I had to wait a bit for an 'interview' with them. They were surprised that I was granted DTV for cooking school, and were wondering if I should have an education visa instead...

In the end, they stamped me for 180 days and told me they were going to notify the Embassy about their feedback. I find it weird because they are the one to set the rules for DTV anyway and visa was granted already.

So a bit of a stressful experience but it ended well!

I wonder what will happen in May 2026 when I want to stamp another 180days! Especially if I have not extended my cooking lessons (not sure if I will, I would like to try something else)

Hi everyone! I first entered Thailand on August 31st on my DTV visa, and I’ll be leaving on December 1st after using the full 90 days. I plan to come back again in January on the same DTV visa (for my Soft Power Muay Thai training).

With all the recent rule changes at Thai immigration, I wanted to clarify something:

👉 If I re-enter after 1 month, will I have to show accommodation proof, training proof, or any new documents again?

👉 Or will immigration stop or question me because I’m entering again on the same visa type within a short gap?

👉 Has anyone recently re-entered on the DTV after a short exit?

Any updated experiences or advice would be really appreciated — thank you! 🙏🇹🇭

Hi, anyone here has ever get your DTV from Laos via an agent?

Hi all.

I want to apply from Italy.

No problem for the 500k.

My money are all invested through a broker (Interactive Brokers and Scalable).

Do you think it could be a problem?

Just in case I can sell some investments and buy again later, but I could loose money.

Thank you!

Question for tdac, is outbound flight necessary for dtv Visa holder?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Everyone, I have a dtv Visa and spend already 4 months in Thailand this year 2025.

Now I am applying for the Thailand boarding pass. Right now I do have only the inbound flight, do I need an outbound flight as well?

Thanks for your help.

I know I’m about to get crucified for asking a question that has been asked before, but there are many different answers and also from long time ago.

When applying in Ho Chi Minh.

Has anyone been accepted with having the 500k only a 2-4 weeks prior to application? So three months statement but only the last month having 500k in it?

Hello group. I have a question. I’m in the US, retiring soon. How difficult is it to secure a retirement visa and insurance if I’ve had a kidney transplant? TIA
