Do I need to show a hotel booking in Bangkok for a Soft DTV visa if my Muay Thai school is located there?
For soft dtv visa. If the muy thai school is in BKK. Do i have to show a hotel booking in BKK ? Do they check ??
Answer summary
The necessity of showing a hotel booking when applying for a Soft DTV visa in Thailand depends on individual circumstances. Generally, proof of accommodation is not a strict requirement for the application itself. However, some immigration officials may inquire about your accommodation, particularly when they are checking your attendance at the school. It's advisable to have a temporary hotel booking you can cancel later or be prepared to indicate your accommodation on the arrival form.

Make a hotel booking that you are able to cancel once you've recieved the visa. It's not rocket science.

After the initial approval there are no checks. Only 90 day check in and exit the country every 180 days.

Because sometimes people might land in Bangkok and need to stay overnight before moving on to another city. Damn. People are so stupid. This guy had a legitimate question.

Sam Ebb easy to understand why immigration is so choosy....

Sam Ebb i read it as …the school is IN BKK for which he using as the intended reason for his DTV VISA . Either he no intention of attending and chilling somewhere in another city (do they check?).
Sam *****
Todd Capron then if his digital arrival is correct he's looking at about a 30 second entry

Why would you not have some form of accommodation booked where you will be doing your training?
Andrew ********
CoolBunny_7244 Because he may not be planning on doing the training or hasn't figured out a long term rental.

Andrew I was saying that tongue in cheek.
If I was a betting man I would put my money on your 1st possibility.

No, 6 months of bank statements is. I've read they're changing requirements as well for amount of time you need to enroll in classes
Todd *********
Hans Collins 6 months of bank statements.... Nope.
Hans *********
Todd McGowan Thats what my Muay Thai school told me. unless you've done it recently, they've changed their requirements
Todd *********
Hans Collins 6 months has never been the requirement. Some RTE demand 3 months. Some don’t.
Nobody has a requirement for 6 months at all. And no, the requirements have not changed.

Proof of accommodation isn't part of the DTV application. If you mean in the TDAC arrival form, you put whatever accommodation you stay at, first.
Andy ******
Frank-Steven Eichholtz my agent told me to show a booking confirmation at a hotel in the same town as the gym membership, even if it's just 1 or 2 nights.
Looks like guidelines are different everywhere.

Sadly, true. When it comes to Thai bureaucracy, things tend to be applied very inconsistently.Activity
