What are the requirements and process for obtaining a DTV visa for Thailand?
Jakarta DTV update
My husband just got our 2 visas from the embassy!!! 🙌🏼😆
Documents provided
For him as main DTV holder:
- 500k THB on a bank account at date of application
- letter of acceptance from a Muay Thai school on Koh Lanta
- price 5,600,000 IDR
For me as spouse:
- proof of relationship - copy of our civil union certification from Amsterdam (NL)
- copy of his passport
He gave both applications on Monday around 1pm. And got the visas on Thursday at 1.30pm. 3 days like they announce on the website and when you drop the application.
I did not have to be present which allowed me to stay on Bali with our kids.
He only had to proove 1x 500k THB for both of us.
The MT school on Lanta gave a pretty high price to agree to give him the letter.
Note my husband DOES plan on training in MT but NOT everyday because as a family it just doesn’t work. And they were offering daily training at first.
He managed to get the price gor down a bit but still it was quite an expense. Something to take into account when applying for soft power DTV
I feel joy and relief that we are to enjoy Thailand again.
Also happy to answer any questions!

Some guy left a very good explanation of the whole visa application process at Jakarta embassy on Google maps - including times for applications and times for visa passport/visa collection, and other tips. just click on the embassy and you will see it - I found it very very useful

Helder *******
@Graham ******
but did you get the DTV with just the dental appointment?Graham *******
@Helder ******

Paul **************
@Graham ******
Can't be feasible of one appointment thought surely? maybe a blip as others have been rejected offering multiple medical appointments.
Cristiano ********
Congrats 💥Curious about the acceptance letter, how many months you need to proof a muay thai class to be paid upfront?And how many classes weekly, what is the minimum required?example: 1 class weekly for 3 months enough?
Florence ************
OP@Antonio *******
no idea. The school did not want to give my husband the letter if he was not committing to min 200h. It may differ every time and for every school. Pick school and ask them
Manita **********
Hi
@Florence ***********
, how much did they charge you for min 200h.
David ******
Congrats! Well done. So only 1 payment of 5,600,000 IDR? (And not 2 payments for your visa also?)
Do you think it would have been the same if you were in a diff country?
Also is it a sticker in your passport?
Thanks for all the info. We might follow in your footsteps.

Maryam ****
Did you include the kids?
Valdemar *******
Maryam Ja We are planning to do the same strategy with our 3 children who are 2 to 6 years old. I personally don't understand why they have to pay for a visa when they can't be charged an overstay fee and can't even have negative records.
Maryam ****
@Valdemar ******
yes, i have 3 kids, 1 born here. Overstayed for almost a year but we will be flying after our ed-visa expires and apply for DTV. Your situation is the as mine, i just want to see the optionsFlorence ************
OP@Maryam ***
no as they are still small we will get them on visa exemption and have them overstay
Paul *******
@Florence ***********
WHY?? Ridiculous to deliberately break the law.Maryam ****
@Florence ***********
is it cool if i message you? I have kids too i wanna know some tips
J**
Also wondering how you managed it for your kids? Did you need the THB amount only once as listed above or on both your accounts each (and how about the kids' additional amount if applicable?)
James *********
Hello, congratulations, private message sent
Martha **********
Was you civil union document in English? Or did you need to translate it?
Florence ************
OP@Martha *********
the original already included an english translation
Gayaanan ************
Did the school have to have a special license from a ministry in thailand or can we get this from any muay thai gyms in thailand?
Andi ***********
@Gayaanan ***********
should be registered as a business and for tax purposes.
James ********
@Andi **********
correct ✅
Muhammad *************
Hi florence! Congrats, i just sent you a message with some questions about the DTV visa
Florence ************
OP@Muhammad ************

Florence ************
OP@Kirill ********

Alessandro **********
@Kirill ********
i want to know for my son tooSeb ********
What about the visa for the kids?
Florence ************
OP@Seb *******
our kids are not on DTV. They will get in on visa exemptionSeb ********
@Florence ***********
may I ask what the benefit of that is? You have kids who can only stay a very limited time and you/husband can stay 180 days. How are you planning to deal with that issue?James ********
@Florence ***********
correct ✅Florence ************
OP@Seb *******
and also blocking youFlorence ************
OP@Seb *******
they can enter on visa exemption for 60 days. That’s not illegal. You can also stay polite even if you disagree with what I am saying.Seb ********
@Florence ***********
respectfully, are you nuts? Your child would still be illegally in the country. Plus you (well, they) can be denied entry in the future even if the child can’t be fined. Wth!?Florence ************
OP@Seb *******
kids (under 12) can overstay without being fined so we are going to just do that
Velin ********
What’s the Muay Thai school name in Koh Lanta ?
