ORIGINAL POSTERJakarta 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!

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 themManita **********

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.

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.

@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 optionsReply to

our kids are not on DTV. They will get in on visa exemptionSeb ********

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?Florence ************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Seb *******
kids (under 12) can overstay without being fined so we are going to just do thatJames ********
@Florence ***********
correct ✅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 ************

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.Reply to
