I’m an American citizen will be applying for my DTV Visa here in Cambodia. My question is is a statement or a letter from the bank showing my current balance would that be significant enough for the application? Also, how does it work if you’re married and have kids 

Looking for a trustworth Visa Agency for DTV with Muay Thai!

Thx

Just got approved for my DTV visa for soft power (cooking school) through the Los Angeles consulate in UNDER AN HOUR (~45 minutes)!!!!

I was so stressed while doing the application because I was worried about making a stupid mistake that would get my application rejected instantly. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the first and only status update was to approved.

If you are trying to get a DTV through the LA embassy now seems to be a good time because they seem to be moving fast!

I started my DTV application but I don’t have specifics such as where I am staying or what my flight number is or which region I will live in… how did everyone else fill it out?

Hello ! Anyone who got DTV with soft power courses experienced any issues at airport immigrations during visa runs ? Like the officers question about new courses and how the course is doing because normally the courses are 6 months long. Is it required to enroll new courses after each one expires just to extend my period of stay? i’m going to skip soft power option if it is so. It’s going to be costly.

Hello, I decided to get a driver's license so that they can recognize my European license, but they are making me translate the legend into English. Has anyone had a similar problem and is there an office in Bangkok that I can go to without a translation? I was at Mo Chit's office.

It seems that for those that qualify based on the passive income requirement, the LTR is an easier option for a long stay. Is there an advantage by going the non o to oa route over the ltr?

Need Advice: DTV Visa Rejected – What Now?

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as a Dutch national, under the Thai Soft Power Activities category (Muay Thai training). I submitted my application to the Thai embassy in The Hague, but unfortunately it was rejected.

Here’s what I submitted:

1. Biometric passport page

2. Recent passport photo

3. Bank statement (over 500,000 THB in my name, held for 3+ months)

4. Proof of residence

5. Muay Thai gym documentation

I initially uploaded the standard documentation provided by the Muay Thai gym. After submission, the embassy specifically asked for “a certificate issued to the school/gym from the Office of Boxing Sport Board, Sports Authority of Thailand.”

The gym was surprised, as they claimed this was already included. Still, they issued a new cover letter explaining their compliance with all relevant government bodies. I uploaded that — but even after submitting the extra explanation, the visa was rejected.

It seems the reason for rejection is linked to the Muay Thai documentation, despite all efforts.

My flight to Thailand is booked for September 1st, and I’m now unsure what to do:

1. Re-apply with another Muay Thai gym

2. Apply under the Workation category instead (I meet all requirements)

3. Go to Vietnam or another nearby country and apply from there

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue? Any advice would be hugely appreciated — especially before I spend another €350 on a new application.

Thanks in advance!

If I have a DTV but I'm doing some travelling and sometimes staying in Thailand for only a few days, does it make sense to even show the visa at the immigration as opposed to getting the visa exempt. I'm only talking about these times when I know I would be just stopping by.

My visa have been approve. When I enter Thailand ( or the departure airport) do I have to have exit ticket?
