What are the requirements for re-entering Thailand on a Soft Power DTV visa after completing a course?

@Khun *****

I don’t know if they can see it but then they can ask for your work contract/business papers or course right?

did I mention anything about visa agents, jerk?

@Nongluk ************

am I a jerk because I am telling the facts or because I don’t give the answer you all want to hear? Would it make you happier if I say: “ No, you definitely don’t need to book any new course, you don’t even need to attend to Muay Thai or cooking class because Immigration will surely not ask, don’t carry money with you as well, be sure to be as broke as possible because they will not ask you for proof of funds”. Tell me, is this the answer you want to hear?

@Destinee *******

it is fully addressing your question. If you want to have peace of mind when entering the country, make sure you have an active course. Or you can risk it, there is a high chance Immigration will not ask you to show anything but if they do, then you have a problem

@Destinee *******

don’t just pick the answer you would like to hear or the one which is more convenient for you. And definitely do not listen to that old troll Christopher Kilcourse or his buddy James Miller. Let’s just be realistic and ask yourself the question(hopefully the 2 old guys will read this also):

Why would somebody give you a 5 year visa for a 6 month course? Why does the DTV visa have more categories like Workation or Soft Power Muay Thai or Cooking Class, or Medical? Because when you apply for the visa you say: I am applying because I want to do Muay Thai or because I am sick and I want to treat myself in Thailand, or make my teeth in Thailand. Of course they are not asking you to book a 5 years course because it would be absurd but the idea behind this is that if you get a 5 years visa based on Muay Thai, then you should continue attending to Muay Thai also after your initial 6 months course is over. So if we think logical, if your course is over and you did not book a new one or maybe you never even attended to your initial course, then you are not eligible for the visa anymore. This is so obvious that if someone is unable comprehend this and still trying to contradict me is weather on idiot or he is just trying to deny the reality. Yes, it is not an official requirement to extend your course, but yes you can be asked to prove your attendance anytime.

Same thing with the 500k proof of funds. Many people here have a big mouth and they are rushing to say that the 500k is not a requirement when entering the country. So why is it then required when people apply for the visa? Just for fun because they have nothing better to do? It’s a requirement when you apply for the visa and when you enter the country is not a requirement anymore and if you made it so far means that you can enter the country with 10$ in your pocket and get stamped for 6 months? Just think, people, think🙄. Just like for the other visas the requirements are 400k and respectively 800k( for getting stamped for 1 year), in the case of DTV it is considered that you need 500k to support yourself in the 6 months you get stamped, money which you need for each 6 months when you enter the country.

In conclusion, yes, it’s not an official requirement to renew your course after the initial 6 months corse expires and the 500k is also not an official requirement when entering the country. Most of the people are not asked to show all this but you can be asked anytime and if you cannot show, you can get in trouble.

Thailand is a highly corrupt country where you have to give bribe literally at every step and where the laws are scrapped and replaced with new ones overnight. In most of the cases you are at their complete discretion, they can do with you whatever they want and all you can do is smile and say Khap khun krap.

@Destinee *******
