TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking advice on visa applications for moving to Thailand and is feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information available. The community responses suggest that applying directly through the Thai government website is straightforward and can be done without an agency. Many emphasize the importance of carefully preparing documents to avoid denials, and some offer personal experiences about successfully applying for visas without agency assistance. Overall, the consensus leans towards DIY applications being manageable and efficient.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

The application for dtv is literally just uploading your information to a portal. A visa agency can’t help you, best to do it yourself

How should a agency help you to do the application i a Embassy outside Thailand, where you have to stay in that country throughout the whole application proces, until your visa is granted.

Read to officially website and prepare your documents carefully. Because if your visa get denied, there are no refund from government. But if you need agency help you. They should advise and prepared documents for you or any documents missing also need to provide too! Because you pay extra. Decide from yourself. If need agency inbox me. My boyfriend apply from HCM , Vietnam and took 5 working day approved. I can suggest and I'm sure 100% if you understand the point what government prefer. It's very easy to get DTV! GOOD LUCK👍🏼

You apply in what ever country you are in online at the thai gov website.

It guides you very easily.

If you can read and follow instructions you should have no issue.

It seems many on here lack this ability though.

It took me 10 minutes to fill out and submit all needed information

No follow up and approved in 5 business days as I followed the directions and gave what they asked for in the website.

Anyone who has went to school up until the 5th grade should easily be able to do this with out an agency or help.

Welcome to my Ted talk I hope you can figure it out 🤘

This is the best recommendation. My boyfriend did the same and got approved in 5 business days. They only asked for one more piece of proof. No agency was needed. Reading all the advice from others in this group helped a lot. 🤗

Meen Sasiratthe 5 year validity starts the second it is approved, the stamp yes gives you 180 days . But the time the visa is valid starts from the approved date of the visa not when you enter thailand. This is fact

the visa is active when you enter Thailand and pass the immigration. You need the stamp on the passport. It will be for 180 days
