Received Email Requesting more documents:

* Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht.

Side notes:

* Just scan and submit the entire passport to avoid requesting further documents

* I did email the consulate: [consular.hom@mfa.go.th](mailto:consular.hom@mfa.go.th)

* Previously I’ve been nervous I would get rejected because I haven’t seen a “not anonymous person” post about getting their DTV through Learning Language” but I am proof that yes it can be done

You are indeed a very lucky person to get the DTV Visa for Thai language study as VERY few have been reported.

It's study for Thai language...

What is the name of the school ?

Where is it located in Thailand! ?

What is the length of the course ?

How MANY classes per week?

In person attendance?

Or online?

Cost of the course of study ?

Thanks for your helpful information 🙂

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
