For those who went through the Muay Thai path.

-Did you get your classes from a gym licensed with the Sports Authority of Thailand? (The gyms near where I am trying to train in Phuket don't seem to know anything about this)

-Was proof of buying the classes enough? Or did you also have to get other documents from the gym (Such as owner info, certification license, custom letter of acceptance, etc)

I would love to come in with my partner early next year. I earn in USD and am Nigerian. My only way to access my money would be my USD card.

Knowing that with a DTV, I am not entitled to opening a bank account here, what other ways can I send my money into Thailand and/or pay for stuff?

Thank you.

Hi, everyone! I almost hesitate to write since I applied this morning only. (Hoping for a successful result on Wednesday afternoon. 🤞🏻) However, I thought I'd still try to help others.

In case you haven't seen this info in other posts, in addition to the documents stipulated in the infographic, do take the following:

1. A copy of your passport, even though they'll be keeping the original

2. A copy of your Lao visa on arrival (or other Lao visa), even though it's in your passport they'll be keeping

Finances:

Even though (or maybe because) I maintained more than double the required amount in a Thai bank account for the last six months, the officer didn't pay much attention to my bank statements.

Employment:

Instead, there was a lot of focus on my employment confirmation letter. Even though our HR (I work remotely, full-time) prepared it with great care, it didn't seem sufficient. The officer was looking for "company licensing documents" and/or a full employment contract. Definitely err on the side of providing too much information!

Other tips:

Although not necessary, you can save yourself some time at the Embassy by printing and completing the visa application form beforehand, and gluing your two pics in the spaces provided.

(Although this might not be the case for everyone, they didn't ask any questions about where I'm staying in Thailand (or Laos).)

Good luck! 🤞🏻

On a 60 visa exemption but applied for a Non O visa in Thailand. Will the new 90 day visa get added to my current 60 days or will I loose the remaining days on my 60 days.

Also I’ve been told to return to CW after 14 days to collect my stamp. Do I need to make an appointment or just show up and ask at the desk?

When does the 5 year start, is it on the date the visa gets approved or once you make your first DTV entry into Thailand? Thanks.

I got N NON O visa for 3 months, can I get an extention for 1 month tourist visa. I am Dutch.

Hello! I want to apply for DTV visa. I had broken fibula and ankle 2 years ago and then I got pregnant (hard pregnancy) so I couldn't do rehabilitation or improve all of the damage.

So my question is where to apply? I've been in Laos and KL so far for tourists visa. In Laos was really smooth, KL they was a bit annoying. I'm planning to go on holiday in KL anyway beginning of December. The question is where to apply. How about Vietnam How long is taking in KL, Vietnam and can I have some advice for the documents . Also I read in KL they want 1year medical treatment is it true?

I'm traveling with my 1y old daughter so I really want to skip unnecessary delay or any kind of problems.

Thank you

Is there any chance you will get a visa sticker in your passport if you applied online? Will Thai immigration officials give you that when you enter Thailand when you present them a printout of your DTV?

Advice needed

I've been employed remotely for a US company for the last three years. I have my employment contract, money in the bank, a letter from my employer stating remote work is acceptable and tax returns for the last two years showing income from remote work. However, I've been taking an extended holiday for the last 6 months so I don't have proof of income during that time. I've started working again but won't be paid for a month or so.

Anyone know if this is likely to be an issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I saw this message in a French group about a "tax" issue for DTV visas at Don Muang Airport. Does anyone know if there's an official rule about declaring 35% of funds in Thai accounts or paying this kind of "tax"? Or is this just another unclear situation in Thailand?

Thanks for any insights!
