Thai Visa DTV Visa Visa Application Process Soft Power Course Motivation Letter Embassy Vienna

Nov 12, 2025

ORIGINAL POSTER

Soft power. Unemployed. 6 months. Documents are valid. Requirements are met. Attended a 1 hour interview. Embassy in Vienna.

I saw someone post about wanting to be based in Thailand for 2-3 years and asking about the process. I thought the DTV isn't meant for long-term stays, but at my interview the embassy questioned every small detail of my application, and did so several times. I stated that after finishing the soft power course, I would return to my country, look for a remote job, and maybe come back later to enroll and finish the other 6 months of the 12 month course.

In the end, they mentioned they would be asking for more documents to send to Thailand for review. One of these is a motivation letter. Now I am worried that what I already explained might make them think I want to overstay. I’m a bit confused is an understatement. How should I write a motivational letter?

Do some reading about the DTV and what type of visa it actually is and also the conditions required for an application. You sound totally confused about what a DTV is. It's not a 6 months visa it is 5 year multi entry visa. You need to extend every 6 months either at immagration in Thailand or go out and come back to get restamp for another 6 months stay Yiu do this for 5 years. You are giving way to much detail and l don't understand your interview. I did an interview and it's just about your 500.000 in bank and supporting yourself. If you transfered money or give it much info they will get suspicious you are scamming
