I already train at a Muaythai gym in Pattaya, but I don't think they are set up to help with DTV.

1. If I have to change gym, what's the minimum period of enrolment for a successful application?

2. Do I have to re-enrol at the same gym? Would I be able to re-enrol at my USUAL gym even if it's not the one on my original application?

Hello to everyone in the group, a Spaniard living in Cambodia. I am going to Thailand in January to renew my passport. I have read that from December/January onwards you have to fill out an online document, I think it is called etravel or something like that. Do any of you have the link and can you tell me what it is for? We Spaniards do not need a visa, we have a visa exemption for 60 days but it seems that this online document is mandatory for everyone. Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration.

Hello everyone! A few days ago I received my first one-year Extension of Stay Permit (EOS) from my immigration office. I had my salary certificate certified by my embassy in Bangkok. My immigration told me that I actually have to have this certified certificate certified again in Bangkok by a Thai authority. (over-authentication).

What is the name of this authority in Bangkok?

And where is this authority located?

Because it is my first EOS, my immigration has kindly stamped the EOS in my passport without this additional authentication just for this time.

Thank you for your answers!

I applied on Friday 29th November. I was asked for further documents, one being my e-ticket. So it appears the London Embassy want you to have booked a flight. I fly on 16th December and I am at ‘pending approval’ stage. Feeling a little nervous the DTV won’t come through in time, if approved. Has anyone else applied around the same time and have you been approved?

Since the DTV was introduced am i correct in thinking that land border crossings are now not limited to 2 per year ? think i seen a post about it on here somewhere.

Are visa extensions at local immigration now 60 days instead of 30 ?

Anyone experience with the 'medical' category?

I'm too sick for Muay Thai and don't like cooking.

I have contacted numerous hospitals. One replied initially but when I asked to confirm the appointments, they never replied.

Is it a mistake to mention the DTV? Better just ask for the apointments and not scare them? But I will need them to provide a nice paper with letterhead and all...

Please share Dr. recommendations in the chat. I'm mostly looking for nutrient testing and nutrition consulting.

Did anyone open a bank account with kasikorn on dtv? Any special requirements?

Rejected application due to DOB typo via E-Visa LA. Be careful, they really wanted that non-refundable application fee over a pity mistake. Entered the month/date backwards. Proper waste of 13k baht innit. My 4 forms of identification clearly show my DOB or my previous approved E-Visas. Smh…

Are those who get the DTV as a dependent allowed to work remotely just like the person who got a DTV for a workation and does the person who already got their DTV have to prove they can financially support the dependent?

DTV - Taipei Experience

Arrived in Taipei 07:30 on Monday morning, at the Taipei office by 09:00. Picked up the DTV 16:00 on Wednesday and back on the plane by 1930! 😂

I have been in/out of Thailand since February 2024 on an MTV and then the latter months on Visa Exemption and decided to extend my stay in the country through the DTV soft power category. Due to a condition, I have to have dental checks every 3 months so, visited the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital Dental department who set up a care plan for the next 12 months. I was able to use these 4 check up appointments plus an up and coming appointment to repair a chipped tooth to qualify for the Medical Treatment category of the DTV. Checked in advance with the Taipei office and they required appointment slips along with a medical certificate from the dentist department.

Submitted it all at 0900 and was told to come back that day at 1530 for a decision outcome. When I returned they explained that the supervisor wanted to have an interview the following day (Tuesday) at 1500. (Panic started to set in) So nervous as hell I was called in to the side room at 1500 and was out by 1504! They just wanted to check where the savings ammount had come from and future pending payments and that I wasn't working within the country. She also asked why did I apply in Taipei and not anywhere else and I was honest and replied with "because I used my miles on EVA which made it cheaper" 😂 She approved it there and then and told me to go back on Wednesday at 1600 to collect it!

Overall the experience in Taipei was great, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I was nervous being called for an interview but she was very nice and didn't make it stressful at all! Would highly recommend the office in Taipei and Taipei is a very nice city although, I was shivering for the entire 3 days. I am glad to be back in the Thai heat!
