If you have the DTV for Thai language lessons, how long are you allowed to be out of the country? For example, if we wanted to travel somewhere in Asia for a couple of weeks, would that be allowed? I haven't found any information on this.

Hi, has any Filipino crossed Thailand with a DTV visa? What are the common questions? Do you really need to print all the documents and the return ticket? I heard they can be strict with asian nationalities. Thank you.

I have applied for DTV using Discover Thai nature for which im genuinely excited- but does this mean I have to live in Bangkok the whole time? That feels like a huge commitment - I would like to give it a try but if it doesn’t work and I want to move during the course year what happens?

Issue with Bank Statements Timing

Hello everyone, I have a question about the DTV application.

I would like to apply at the Thai Embassy in Rome, but I have an issue with my bank statements.

My bank (Fineco bank) allows me to download a 6-month statement, but it only releases the official document at the end of each quarter.

For example:

If I apply in May, I can only download the statement for Jan–Feb–Mar, while Apr–May–Jun will only be available in July.

This means that during certain months of the year, I cannot provide a fully updated statement.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Could this cause issues with the DTV application?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Professional Athlete training in Thailand. Is this considered "foreign talent" for the purpose of the application?
