I want to apply for Dtv visa, Soft power muay thai or cooking course.

My question is if the course has to have a minimum lenght to be accepted.

I'm still not sure whether to live in Phuket or Koh Samui, and what would be the exact location in one these 2 islands.

I don't want to pay for a course in one place if then I decide to live in another.

Would Muay Thai be accepted for a 55 years old woman? Obviously I dont want to go on the ring, but would love to get fitter. I regularly go to the gym and I can consider to do something more challenging. I would start from a basic course.

Thank you

Since 2023, I have showed a doctor GI Specialist and took antiviral drugs until now. The doctor wrote a medical certificate with Liver cancer surveillance. I have appointment cards every 6 months.

I have 500000 THB in my bank for 5 consecutive months.

I bought a condo in BKK.

Can I apply DTV Medical route in Vietnam or Cambodia? Or I should use an agent ?

I am worry for reject my DTV visa.

Please suggest me and share your experiences.

I'm getting a monthly retainer from a company my registered business works for.

So if you have to supply any documents with dates on them(like invoices or bank statements showing you got that retainer while in Thailand on the visa exemption), but you don't do any work while in Thailand on the 60 day exemption; does that mean the embassy(will apply in Laos) will make an issue out of that?

Anyone had a similar situation and how did it go?

Morning all! We are heading to Hanoi for our dtv application in January. Can anyone recommend a nice budget friendly place that they stayed at? A lot of places seem to look nice but have some scary reviews.

Thank you.
