Hello,

My application for the DTV Soft Power Visa has unfortunately been rejected again – this time in Hanoi, Vietnam. I was not provided with a clear reason for the refusal, so I am unsure what the issue was.

Around two months ago, my application was already rejected in Cambodia because the documents from my previous Muay Thai camp were incomplete and insufficient. Since then, I have enrolled in a new, professional Muay Thai camp in Bangkok, booked a nine-month course, and submitted all the required documents in full.

As I believed everything was correct this time, I am now uncertain about what steps I can take in Hanoi to possibly have my visa approved, or what other options are available to me at this stage.

Could you please advise me on what I should do in this situation?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Hello all,

This is a "& more" post. I have had a Bangkok Bank account with digital banking for a couple of years now. Recently, I purchased a new phone and need to go through the set up process for digital banking again. With all of the news about foreigners' accounts getting suspended for no longer qualifying (long term visa, property ownership), what is the best course of action to get assistance in configuration of digital banking on my new phone? Do I risk it and just go into a branch, contact an agent to assist in the matter or something else?

I use my account frequently to pay my rent, utilities and typical day-to-day stuff like buying food or ordering items from Lazada. Losing it would significantly complicate my financial responsibilities.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

My apologies if this has been covered, but I just want to be clear on a few things:

I just arrived on DTV a few weeks ago and stamped in for 180 days. I now have a 1 year condo lease in BKK.

I would like to visit Japan right around the 90 day mark for a week or so. How does that affect my 90 day reporting and my 180 day? This would be my first 90 day report and I will have a TM30 this week from landlord.

Should I carry all the DTV docs with me?

Has anyone had experience with the Non-Immigrant O visa for Thailand?

I have two questions:

1. Has it ever happened to someone that accompanying children (under 18 years old) were not allowed to enter Thailand or were rejected, even though a parent held a Non-Immigrant O visa?

I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences ,thank you!

Sorry if it’s asked a lot but re: freelancers on a DTV visa staying more than 6 months per year ..how hard is it to get a tax ID to start paying tax in Thailand? I’ve heard banks are reluctant to give them to folk on DTV
