What are the best practices for applying for a DTV visa in Thailand, and should I use a visa agency?

Take control of your life, and apply by your self, it’s not rocket science.

And you will feel so great, when you get the visa you have applyed for.

It is pretty straight forward, if you meet the requirements

The Agents are charging around 100k… I did mine myself…You can do it! It’s actually a pretty simple process. Just have your documents together

the best thing to do is figure out what embassy you are going to apply at, the review that embassies website. They usually state what is required for each type of application, freelance, remote worker, soft power, dependent. There are a lot of posts for successful applications in the various facebook groups for numerous embassies, some are very detailed. You either apply online if the country you are in uses the e-visa or go in person. Several embassies have been noted to be really helpful and will review your documents, letting you know if things are missing... others not so much, so you need to chose carefully. It really is as simple as getting the paperwork together as stated, making sure you are using bank accounts not investments as that seems more readily accepted, etc.

If after reviewing all you still feel uncomfortable doing it yourself you could contact the Thai Visa Center, owner of this group, to review your documents and arrange assistance but they can't do the application for you. It isn't cheap and I'd be very careful of paying huge amounts to people who "guarantee" anything, they can't.

No agent can do DTV

There is a well respected local agent in Hua Hin that is offering help on the DTV via Vientiane. She is very popular for local services at Hua Hin immigration and also for renewing UK passports.

Why an agent?

The DTV can only be applied for out of thailand not within the country so no agents can help. If they say they can it is not true. You need to apply yourself, suggest you for online to see the requirements in the country you are applying from

Thai Visa Centre

DTV is done by yourself (if you fulfil all the criteria), not through agents. Submit an application at a Royal Thai embassy outside of Thailand. Beware of any agents promoting their service for DTV.
