Hello,

If we have a flight on 9th of January from Gatwich until 23 of January when we will have our flight back. Wat exactly do we need on the entry in Thailand? Cash? How much per person or couple? TDAC? Accomodation? Do we need to have anything printed or is ok on the phone?

Thank you!

Hope this helps others:

I've applied for the DTV and the embassy wrote back to me with this comment: "DTV is not a tourist visa application, meaning of DTV is Destination Thailand Visa, omit the word Tourist visa".

Hopefully this helps others avoid that wording problem as I've seen many others in DTV-related facebook groups referring to DTV as a kind of tourist visa, apparently the Thai Embassy does not consider it as such.

So in short when referring to the visa in any of your application documents (e.g. letter from your employer) it can say "DTV" or "Destination Thailand Visa" but not "DTV Tourist Visa".

Dear Admin and people, if there is anybody who feels share his/her perspective, suggestions, or law information would be great.

I came to thailand the first time in 2023 for a few months. In 2024 i staid in thailand with visa exemption/extension 5 months. In 2025 my idea was to spend the same amount of time but i ended up being in the country for more than 6 months because of medical check and surgery procedure, because, apparently, thailand is the most reliable place in Asia to do that.

I understand and agree to the fact that if people want to spend long time in thailand they have to get the proper visa. I wanted to adapt to the changes and i am gonna apply for DTV muay thai soft power + i can demonstrate that i am available to work from remote with clients in Europe so i can sustain myself.

I haven't been back in Europe since many years, simple because i am intrrested in eastern Traditional healthcare and i want to spend time in asia and study this.

Also, as many other people, i just don't want to live in the west, if i have another choice.

My muay thai course starts 12th january.

- Should i apply to the DTV beginning of january? It might make any difference if i apply in january rather than december?

- would it be usefu for the applicationl to mention in the letter that the reason i been more than 6 months in thailand this year is for medical reasons?

- it might help the application to say in the letter that I don't want to stay in thailand more than 5-6 months a year?

- it might help the application saying that my intention is to go back to Europe for some time next year ir even orovide a flight booking?

- except the 500k, the muay thai fee paid, and just describing that i can work anytime and sustain myself, what other things the embassy might look at to decide if application is approved or not?

Thanks

Hi, does anyone know how to get thai baht or USD in Laos, in other way than withdraw from ATM and exchange? I just dont want to exchange twice.

I’ve got tickets booked to arrive in Thailand next week. This will be my fourth visit for the year. Others being in March, June and October. Each visit, I stay for 3 weeks. Genuine tourist. Have return flight back to Australia paid for. Accomodation booked. Enough cash to pass the 20,000 baht test. Have I got anything to be concerned about? As in, entry refusal?

Hello, I just want to ask po. Is it possible for e-Visa to arrive late at night? or on weekends? Applied in Ho Chi Minh and have stayed here for almost 2 weeks now 😭

Metv through my thai airways flight london to phuket via bangkok can someone shine light on process transiting through ..kind regards in advance immigration and any good advice

I have been on a Remote Worker DTV for 5 months.

Immigration didn’t give me the 180-day extension because half of my money is in the U.S. stock market and the other half was not in my Thai bank account for 30 days. All my other documents were fine. I still work for the same company.

I will make a visa run and enter through Bangkok airport.

Is there a high chance they will refuse my entry?

Do they want to see 500,000 THB in my bank account and check that it has been there for 30 days?

Hi everyone. Is there anyone here who was not approved for DTV?

If so, for what reason? And were you able to appeal?

My case- my application was canceled and I don't know why

Sri Lanka

It said you will receive payment receipt in your email, I didn’t but it’s showing pending document check and I can actually see the receipt on the system. I am just worried if they ask for additional documents via email, and why I didn’t get any confirmation on email. Does Sri Lanka office communicate vie the system or through emailing ?
