APPROVED! Applied under the soft power category (6-month cooking course) at the Thai Embassy in Singapore.

I found the information on this page quite useful when preparing for my application so sharing my experience for the benefit of others (esp. anyone thinking of applying in Singapore).

25 Oct - Submitted my application

27 Oct - Embassy called to request for further information namely to remove the watermark from the school enrolment documents and to submit my proof of accommodation in Thailand (no airbnb allowed). Submitted the documents on the same day. Status changed to "pending approval".

3 Nov - Approved!

I had initially consulted with a visa agent who advised me to apply in the Philippines, Laos or Indonesia or if in Singapore then under the Muay Thai category which they seemed to think had a higher success rate. This didn't make sense to me at all so I decided to do it myself.

The process was quick, easy and stress-free.

Hope this helps someone, good luck!

I issued a tracking visa for my kids under my DTV and their passports lost, what should I do?

..We are outside Thailand

Hello to all,

I have done already 2 Visa Runs on Thailand on the North Border (by land both), everything was very smooth.

Now I want to make the 3rd by air, going to Malaysia, to stay in Thailand for the Christmas, after that I have other place to go.

🤔 Is it possible to make it (3rd)? By air is something different? Should I apply on Malaysia for a visitor visa or just get back to CNX? (Visa on Arrival?)

*If someone knows an agent who are good with this, please let me know. 🙏

Can anyone help me understand the part circled in red? I arrived on a visa free entry 60 days and then got my 30 day extension. Do I need to go get a re entry permit to leave and come back

I applied for a non O visa online but it is cancelled due to picture not clear enough, how do I update this? It says no data in incomplete. Thank you

DTV via Soft Power for Medical treatment? I am looking for Soft Power DTV and I see thai language course is not always accepted. I don't need Muay Thai.

I was wondering for Hair Loss Treatment (maybe one mesotherapy session each 4 months) as Medical treatment for Soft power. Do you think it could work?

I'm already looking into doing the treatment anyways so I thought I could take advantage of it.

Hi, I’m Iranian. I came to Bangkok one month ago on a tourist visa to look for a way to get a longer-term visa.

Someone suggested the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) to me.

I know I have to leave Thailand to apply, but as an Iranian, which country should I go to — Laos, Vietnam, China, or somewhere else?

How long does the whole process take?

While the application is being processed, can I return to Iran, or do I have to stay in the country where I submit the application?

Also, is a personal interview required, or can everything be done online?

How much does the visa process cost in total?

And finally — is Bangkok a good place to live for now, considering that I don’t have a job yet and I just want to apply for a visa so I can later find work there?

Is it possible to get 5 years renewal thai driving license with DTV in Bangkok?

I paid for an e-visa in August from Thai consulate in London, so I thought that I had 90 days straight through without having to report to immigration as I would have done when if I arrived on visa exempt, but when I arrived in Bangkok I was stamped in for 60 days and told I had to report to immigration on or before date stamped, so I thought fair enough just a formality, ooh more to pay. WRONG after being processed get to counter and Told 2000 Baht please. So why did I have to pay Thai embassy for e-visa and then pay another 2000Baht to the immigration office. Surely that tells me one thing that getting an e-visa is a waste of time and money. Grouse over😠😡
