Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

ah ok - do you think that folks could get accepted for the DTV with just one month of training ? That's what the owner of Tiger Eye is saying in this youtube video (around the 9 minute mark)

it might be possible but your taking a chance. Anything less than 6 months leaves you open to the chance the embassy may issue a tourist visa as they view that more appropriate for courses of 3 months or less.James ********

Correct 💯James ********

Not possible... don't try it.Bashir *******

we are seeing Thai Embassy or Consulate issuing a SETV single entry tourist visa instead of the DTV visa as the course of one month can be done on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry.Bashir *******
@James *******
i have yet to see that. There's been 2 cases of someone being issued a METV recenely that i personallyhave seen, never a SETV. Both cases were very recent and at an embassy which until recently was accepting 1 month courses.I'm not saying it hasn't happened, its just not happened in my experience and I think my experience has value given the volume of applicants I have seen.
In the end everyone saying it's a high risk only results in people committing to training longer at the gym, which I have no issue with. But I am obligated to speak honestly about my experience.
All said with respect and with the acknowledgement that I don't consider myself an expert, just someone speaking honestly about what they have personally seen.

Hey, I've sent you a private message 🙂James ********

WHY RISK IT ? No need to answer. I would ❌ NOT recommend applying for the DTV visa with a soft power activity course less than 6 months.Reply to
