ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

My son lives in Thailand First at a tourist visa, but that has now expired and he is back in the Nederlands.

In May we applied for the DTV visa at the Thai embassy throygh a visa agency in the Nederlands.

It was rejected because he still had a visa (while the embassy had said before that this was not a problem)

We are now going to request it again.

Can anyone advise me on whether i should have it done by an agency again? And if so by a dutch or thai agency

And what is easier  as a freelancer or through muay thai

Because i read that you can register through an immigration service  and then you will receive all the required paperworks

I hope you can advise us so that the application goes well this time

Because he wants to go back tho Thailand as soon as possible with a visa

Is he a digital nomad? Does he have enough income to stay in Thailand on the DTV visa? If those answers are yes, apply for the DTV visa. If not... How can you 'live' here?

-Non B working visa. Will need a job as a teacher probably

- Marriage visa. Will need a wife and income from overseas.

If you’re son can’t figure this out on his own how is he going to make it in Thailand

You can't hold 2 visas at the same time, if that visa has now expired he can apply again. No need for an agent, just meet the requirements
