Hi all. In the E-VISA website, in the "travel document" section, page 2, what did you put in "Place of Issue"? On my passport, under "authority", I have: "préfecture des Landes MONT DE MARSAN", should I put all of that or just FRANCE? I am applying for my visa at the Thai embassy in Paris. Thank you very much for any help.🙂

Hello everyone, I'm just curious about the "soft" Muay Thai DTV visa... if my wife were to obtain this visa, is it possible for me to apply to be a dependent on her visa? Or can you only be a dependent for the other types of DTV visas? Thanks for any info!

# Dutchies!

I have recently heard about needing to have the required 500k for atleast 6 months in your personal bank account.. By the end of this month I have well over 500k but not for 6 months yet..

Do any of you have experience with this? If this is true I have to wait a lil longer to apply😩

EDIT: I'm asking about the dutch embassy (The Hague) specifically!

Both Thai-Cambodia Border Checkpoints in Chanthaburi Province Closed — Say goodbye (for now) to border bouncers. These crossings were easy targets for border-run agencies, But with all land borders to Myanmar and Cambodia now shut, options are drying up fast. Only a few Laos crossings remain open, and even those especially Nong Khai have tightened significantly. If you're in Thailand relying on border runs to reset your stay, consider this a serious warning

I am an American and I'm currently applying for soft power dtv through the Washington embassy. Im on the "Document indicating current location". I'm currently staying with my mom while I'm here so I don't have any "documentation". Is going and getting a hotel the only way around this? Thanks in advance!

Those on DTV in Phuket. Did you have to wait 90 days before you could get certificate of residence at immigration to buy a motorbike?

DTV Approved (Soft Power - Muay Thai) - Singapore - Non Singaporean

Hello! This group has been super helpful and I wanted to share my experience. I was living in Singapore under a work visa and I applied under the Muay Thai category.

First attempt - 26 March - Rejected due to wrong Place of Issue. I put the issuing country of my passport but it was supposed to be the "Authority" field.

Second attempt - 22 April - Provided all the documents (my passport, rent contract in Singapore under my name, my work visa screenshot and picture, letter from my girlfriend stating I was going to live with her in Thailand, her ID and her rent contract, Muay Thai training contract including the gym's owner passport and banking statement in SGD).

Interview - 13 May - They asked me a lot of questions to double check my situation. Where I was working, how long I knew my girlfriend, my profession, if I ever had trained Muay Thai before, etc. After almost 2 hours, they approved it in the final of the interview.

Arrival in Thailand - 16 May - I arrived in Thailand and they didn't ask anything, just stamped the passport. I had also put my Thai visa number on TDAC already, this could have helped.

Feel free to ask any questions.
