Just have some questions about DTV (Soft Power - Muay Thai)

Boxing Sports Commission of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) now has set the guidelines to apply for DTV (Soft Power - Muay Thai) and my questions are...

1. Does the DTV applicant still need all the documents from Muay Thai Camp and submit them to the embassy / consulate ? or

2. The DTV applicant submit the documents to the Muay Thai Camp instead of submit to the embassy / consulate and then the Muay Thai Camp will take the responsibility for any further proceed.

3. Do both 1 and 2

Anyway, I'm also trying to contact them but still don't get any clarification, so just try to ask here in case anyone can answer.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hello everyone. Coming back to Thailand for 4 to 6 months but on a bit of a budget so around 9 to 12k a month is best until my plans start to kick in. Will be back and forth from Hua Hin/ Cha Am to Pattaya/ Jomtien and looking for rental sites for monthlies studios. Any suggestions would be appreciated

In regards the 800,000 in a bank for a retirement visa those funds have to come from overseas. Previously when transferring via Wise, there was an option on the drop down menu to say the reason for transfer was 'funds for long term stay' that would then show as international transfer with Bangkok Bank. However that dropdown option no longer exists with Wise. Has anyone else noticed this or know a work around?

Update: On the Wise site it suggests putting in purchase of property. However I emailed Wise and they replied saying either select 'Funds for Long term stay' or if it is not there (why do they not know whether it is there or not!?!) or Other and then type in 'Funds for long term stay'. However the APP does not let you do this, perhaps a few other regular users could email Wise and point out that they will be losing a lot of cutomers...

Update 2:

Having further questioned Wise below is their 2nd reply:

'....was able to run a further investigation and found out that we have made changes to transfer purpose list for customer sending THB.

We've updated the transfer purpose list to make it easier for them to choose. Rest assured, they can still make the same transfers as before, just with the new list of transfer purposes.

Guide to THB transfers

How to get your THB transfer marked as International Transfer by the recipient bank?

If your recipient Bank is Kasikorn Bank or Bangkok Bank:

Set transfer amount and currency to THB

Add recipient details

Choose Kasikorn Bank or Bangkok Bank Public Company as the recipient bank

Enter account number

On Transfer Purpose: select Purchase of Property

Review transfer details and Confirm

Select pay-in method, and pay for your transfer

You’re all set!

Your transfer should be marked as International Transfer in your recipient bank’s app, website, or passbook.*'

2 things to note. Wise is asking you to lie if you are not purchasing property, and they say your transfer SHOULD be marked as International Transfer, not WILL.

Anyway I have sent a small amount like this as a test...

A quick question about the e-visa situation from Thai embassy London. When applying for a SINGLE ENTRY non immigrant visa o based on Thai wife they ask for proof of either 400k or having a monthly income in the UK of over 40k per month. Everywhere else I've ever applied for my single entry they do not require this. My question is is this the e-visa website failing to properly consider single entry requirements or is this actually the requirements for a single entry from the UK.

Hi everyone. I booked an appointment with the Vientiane’s Thai embassy for the first week of October. I’m currently in Thailand and will be travelling by plane to Udon Thani and then catch a bus to Vientiane.

I requested employment certificate and/or contract from my employer and today my employer sent me a document titled "Employment Certificate". It mentions my work position and that my work is entirely remote.

Is this document enough for the employment certificate/contract requirement? Thanks in advance

I am an American with a Thia girlfriend. I am interested in getting her a tourest visa. I contacted an agency he told me it was hard to get and a fiancé / marriage visa would be easier..

He wants $600 to help fill out paperwork and tell her what to say durring the interview.

This feels a lot like a scam I would aprecate any advice on the best path to take with this.
