Hello, I would like to know what is my best option do have a DTV ?

I am 30yo, do not have a work but have ~52 000 baht "income" everymonth.

Should I contact visa agency about my case ? I read many things on internet... dtv visa with muay thai... dtv with cooking lessons... dtv with dental treatment...

I really need a DTV visa because I almost got denied at the border ( too much visa exemption ) and I would like to live at least 50%/50% my country and thailand for my life.

About the other requirement, I have enough in my bank to meet their needs.

Thanks :)
Answer summary
A 30-year-old individual seeks advice on obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) without a work contract, while having a monthly income of approximately 52,000 baht. The poster is concerned after almost being denied entry due to excessive visa exemptions and wishes to balance living in Thailand and their home country. Comments suggest options such as enrolling in soft power activities like Muay Thai or cooking classes, and some recommend consulting a visa agency, though others believe the visa can be managed independently given the individual's financial stability.

Send me a PB I have sorted a few DTV for my pals in recent months, everything is durable as long as you know what you’re doing

Where about in Thailand are you based?

Agents will really unnecessarily charge you,

My mates got quotes anything from 55-230k for a simple service.

Also it can be processed in like 2-4 bank days if you know the system

You could probably use a marketing agent, someone who can build you into a brand maybe? A website and some records of your financial stability. PM me if you want to see some work prospects that will save you a long-term issue. (8 yrs in Thailand - I understand things). Cheers

You should be able to get the dtv yourself without agent as you've got the savings. Just sign up for soft power- muay thai or cooking class, at an embassy like Hanoi or Jakarta

Anonymous participant 605 The paperwork literally takes 5 minutes. Create an account on the Thai e-visa site and see for yourself.

Anonymous participant 605 I don't mind paying an agency to avoid stress of paperworks. And about Hanoi, yes I can go there for few weeks while DTV is applied. I could even go to Cambodia or Vientiane

Bronze Visa through Thai privilege might be a better option.

unfortunately I am not that rich enough for it even if I saw the " discount" with the bronze that didn't exist before... I have enough to buy it but that would be a huge amount gone on my saving account...
