DTV APPROVED Soft Power 5 year 🙏

No agency required, paperwork is very straight forward.. Give them exact documents requested on Embassy Site.

Canada, Ottawa requested 3 months statements "open and closing balance" 500000 thb. I didn't have 3 showing open and close. 

No income, dividends from investment, not accepted.  Amount didn't matter. Gave option for sponsor. got sponsor letter, 4 months bank statements proving monthly income. and passport.

Tiger Eye MMA Bangkok -  Muay Thai - asked for additional letter with training schedule for 6 months. 

Submit app Sept 22, sponsor letter Oct 6 approval Oct 31.

How exactly does this work for 5 years? I understand that its 180 days and then gets extended. Do you need a program that lasts for 5 years? Can you swap to different programs or repeat them?

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.

wasn't asked to see DTV when flying, they just asked. At Bangkok airport they want the address of hotel. My travel companion has no exit ticket. Got 60 day entry and can extend another 30. No hassle

Anonymous participant thanks for your helpful reply ✅. It's BEST to present your passport with the DTV Visa paper in it for the Thai Immigration Officers to see. Enjoy your stay in Thailand 🤗
