Hello, I need your help please. Normally I already have all the documents as well as my Muay Thai gym to apply for my DTV visa. I would like to avoid paying an agent to prepare the documents for me. I really don’t speak English very well. Do you think it’s realistic to do it by myself? Do you have any website to recommend that could make the process easier? I think I’m going to start my application now. I still have around 1 month and 10 days left before I need to leave Thailand and apply for the visa. If you have any advice at all, please don’t hesitate. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

The original poster inquires about the possibility of applying for a DTV visa in Thailand without using an agent, expressing concerns about their English skills.

Try Chatgpt. I found that they never give you sarcastic answers nor do they tire of your questions. Good luck.

If I remember well, the official website where you lodge the application is available in several languages.

I applied 2 months ago without any agency and everything went well. Got approved within 3 working days. As long as you have all documents well prepared, it should be fine.

You can do it yourself and use Chatgpt, Gemini etc to help with documents and do grammar checks. You can find detailed posts in the threads of what to include.

I think it's better for you to go with an agency, you have a good one which is dtv-thailand. I went with them and my DTV go approved in 6 days.
