Cost big bucks to get “ help “ with a DTV inside Thailand

Apply outside Thailand - If you haven’t got the 500K equivalent in a bank for the application , it will probably be too pricey to get a DTV

Application: Must be applied for from outside of Thailand via the official e-Visa system. You cannot apply for the 5-year Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)—including the "soft power" category—while physically inside Thailand.

There’s a post on another that Embassies are soon going to need a minimum of 9 months training or cooking to get the visa and all premises supplying these courses are going to be thoroughly inspected.

John Robert Standard DTV is for Freelancers and Nomads (with provable overseas income). Soft DTV is for people wanting a cultural course like boxing or Thai language, and have 500k baht in savings, but not an income. Buy a course or gym membership for about 25,000, pay your visa and processing fees, and you've got a 5-year visa with 6-monthly border runs. Not a bad deal really.

Thanks Andy, my response was sarcastic. I know the supposed reasoning for DTV Visa’s.

“Not a bad deal really” actually poorly thought out and I predict it’ll be going away.
