Me and my partner were quoted 1700$ USD for a 3 month Muay Thai course in Hua Hin for both of us. Has anyone found cheaper in Hua Hin? And if not, how about Bangkok? We will be flying Into Bangkok initially.

Also! Do we need an exit flight booked in advance?

Appreciate any info! Will be applying at the NY consulate.

I need DTV VISA can you please help me.

Approved through US Consulate.

Applied Feb 18th. Requested additional documents March 3rd, Approved March 5th.

I applied online through the evisa site on the 18th through Workcation catagory.

I am self employed but did not have the funds required for the visa application so I had my dad sponsor me with his savings account.

Was initially worried about that being under workcation catagory but after I applied they just needed an employement verification letter signed (by myself) and they approved it.

I submitted:

Letter of Intent, Employment Contract, Proof of Work (Link to my site and invoices), Sponsorship Letter, Bank Statements (I used 6 months), Copy of My Dads Passport for ID verification, and Employment Verification Letter. I had already purhcased my flight and made a hotel reservation for my travels (March 31st is my flight out)

I wanted to say thank you to this group as I combed over tons of posts before submitting my application. I have never been anywhere outside of the US and Mexico (right across the border) but this has been a dream for going on 10 years now so I am so hyped to make it happen.

I used ChatGPT throughout my process to help me draft letters and follow the requirements with the DTV. I had ChatGPT make editable templates of all the letters I submitted if that would be helpful I put them here in a shareable folder (just make your own copy of them as needed).

Can somebody recommend an agency for border run from Bangkok-Cambodia

Thanks🙏🏼

Arrival post,

Got approved for the DTV visa two months ago, arrived a month later than my original intended arrival date. Immigration officer seemed happy that I had a visa, and said that most people aren’t getting appropriate visas at the moment. (I believe people have to apply for a visa exemption on arrival pre departure now, but a lot of people aren’t) stamped me in and said after 180 days to leave Thailand, and then come back for a new stamp. Whole process took 2-3 minutes, didn’t ask for any documentation etc. just had a print out of my visa. 🙂

Did anyone who changed from Non B to DTV got their bank account closed by the bank?

The bank ask me to "update my info" on where am I tax resident and submit some docs, but I don't know if they see that I am DTV they will automatically close my account?

Thanks🙂

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question about visa rules for Thailand. I currently hold a DTV Visa for Muay Thai training, but I’m planning a short trip to Thailand for 2 weeks (mainly for Songkran in Chiang Mai). After that, I’ll return to my current country of residence and come back to Thailand in 4 months to use my DTV Visa for a longer stay.

My question is:

- Can I still get the on arrival tourist Visa for this short 2-week trip and save my DTV Visa for later, or will having both visas cause issues at immigration?

- Or should I just use my DTV Visa for the short trip and re-enter Thailand with it later?

I want to avoid any complications with immigration or visa rules. If anyone has experience with this or knows the regulations, I’d really appreciate your advice!

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone provide advice on importing goods and personal effects with a DTV Visa?

What were you able to get duty exemptions on?
