Hello everyone!

I'm seeking advice on applying for a DTV visa. I've been in Thailand for over a year, and I've done 4 visa runs and 3 extensions with local immigration. I'm a freelancer with a registered VAT number and I meet all the requirements for the DTV, but I'm concerned about the potential impact of my previous visa runs on my application.

Should I use an agent to apply for the visa, or is it safe to apply on my own? I've prepared all the necessary documents thanks to the advice shared in this group.

Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Apply for it yourself, but do it now rather than risking going back and forth between Thailand any further on exemptions/visa runs etc.

Will it have an effect on the application? Potentially.

However I’d rather apply for the visa and obtain the correct one, rather than doing multiple extensions/visa runs as a tourist, when obviously you’re working on said tourist visa, than worry about doing further extensions and/or visa runs in the future.

Your previous stays will not impact your application, use them to highlight your motivation to stay longer in Thailand via the DTV.
