I've been applying from the UK for a Muay Thai DTV and have been asked to go to the Embassy for an interview. Has anyone had this experience? All my documents are in place and everything was sent to them as requested.

Anyone have a first-hand visa agent recommendation for DTV? I'm not looking for advice on doing it myself, so no need to tell me. Just looking for an agent

What should I select as my country of residence on the new TDAC form if I’m living in Thailand on a DTV?

Question about the new TDAC form from May 1st

I don’t really have an issue with filling out the form itself, but I’m confused about one thing:

When selecting *country of residence*, it seems you can’t choose the Kingdom of Thailand.

What do you do if you are on a DTV -  live here, pay tax here, and officially have residency here?

Choosing another country would technically mean lying on the form – any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Is there anyone who applied for a DTV in Ho Chi Minh City on March 25, 2025? I applied on that date, but my status is still “Pending Document Check.” I’m wondering how long it usually takes to get approved. Could anyone share your experience? I am kinda worry right now and I still need to change my flight.

Thanks in advance!

What do I need to prepare for my first 90-Day Report in Thailand?

Sharing my experience with my first 90-Day Report at Koh Samui Immigration! It was super quick—took only 15 minutes (though it might depend on the day). I just submitted my original passport, TM30, and a printed copy of my DTV E-Visa. After that, they told me to head upstairs, waited about 5-7 minutes, and it was all done! Smooth process, no hassle. Hope this helps anyone preparing for theirs! 🙏

Hello, 

I just returned from a 3 day trip to Hong Kong after my 180 days. Not one question asked at BKK. Stamped and straight though. 

Soft power- medical
