What are the best strategies for obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand, especially for applicants from sensitive countries?

i don't know my but I know some friends who got DTV with cooking class. My friends are from SE Asia just to give you context. I am on DTV workcation so when I saw how easy they got their DTV, I felt like workcation is the most complicated. Cooking schools also offer money back guarantee if your application gets rejected. Of course, with the tuition for for cooking courses or muay thai, you are taking out more money especially if you really don't want to take those classes, only getting them for DTV purposes. But if you really like it, then it's a win-win. One of my SE Asian friend did her DTV application two weeks ago in Laos - she enrolled to a herb mixing class - tuition is THB 18,000 only. She got her DTV after a week. Haha.

If you have the right documents and put a little bit of effort into the application you will have a high chance of success. There really is no need for an agent. A step by step guide with checklist and cover letter templates will guide you through it. Check out dtvquickdotcom

I went to Laos for exactly this reason. Vientiane Thai embassy in Laos interviews every Dtv applicant so you have a chance to explain stuff or correct stuff etc. took a bit longer (I was there a month) but totally worth it.

You are absolutely right.

Applicants from more sensitive countries such as China, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, some Middle Eastern countries, and certain African countries do not have the same experience with the Thai Embassy in Hanoi as Western countries.

However, to be honest, at the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, applicants from many Western countries sometimes face more difficulties obtaining a visa than those from so-called “sensitive” nationalities. It all depends on personal circumstances and the specific Thai embassy location — not everyone has the same experience.

If your documents are in very good order, your chances of approval are higher at Thai embassies that require interviews. Also, a previous rejection does not have a strong negative impact if you reapply immediately at a different Thai embassy that conducts interviews. Just make sure your documents are well-prepared — it’s best to have them reviewed by an experienced agent or school.

Regarding obtaining an ED visa now — yes, it is still possible. However, with a Chinese passport, two previous ED visas, and a rejection, I would not say it is impossible to obtain a DTV visa in the future, but it will be significantly more difficult based on your current history. Thai embassies are increasingly aware of ED visa abuse, especially among certain nationalities.

We recommend reapplying, but you should first have your documents reviewed by experienced professionals who can suggest improvements and advise on the most suitable embassy location for your case.

Don't get the Ed Visa.. it's problematic and EXPENSIVE.

I applied in Hanoi last week, easy!

If you have the documents required and invoice of proof, they give you, mine in 7 business days was approved!

They just request my Brazilian statement to check then approved. Entered in Thailand with out any question very smooth.

If you have how to proof your online work and have the money they give you, easy!

*i was in Thailand last year doing visa run, I have many stamps in my passport for the last 4 years.

It's not that much about confidence, but rather having all the requirements documents and funds.

Which embassies require interviews? Apart from Vientiene it is a lottery. Many embassies have never ever ever interviewed. You are listening to the wrong people.

Of course it may be more difficult for some from "Sensitive" countries where they would prefer them to apply in their home countries. For the B Visa for work certain passoirt holders must return to home country to apply while others can chose a neighbouring country. These sort of rules have been in place forever.
