What should I know about applying for a Thai DTV visa based on personal experiences?

Hi everyone!😊

This group had been super helpful for me, so I wanted to share my DTV application experience and give some motivation because when applying for the visa I felt some anxiety after having read lots of negative experiences before applying and almost did not dare to try it. So if you resonate then this is for you:

I applied for my via when I was in Cambodia, Siem Reap. It took me around 2 weeks to get approval.

I have my own online business and had to explain (in 2-3 sentences) what exactly I am doing. I sent them my website, very easy.

My bank account statement was 500,000 baht for one day only. Before and after it was about 500$ less. I had to show my bank statements of 6 months, though.

At the border it was very easy and they were friendly as well. Officers at the border did not ask me anything and simply approved my entry and smiled at me. I felt that they were happy for me to be able to enter on this visa.

I hope this gives hope to others as well who are a bit afraid to try and apply since there are lots of negatives experiences described here. But I think that like with every "review sections" above all negative experiences are shared and those people who do not have application problems don't share that much about their process.

Wishing everybody good luck with their application!🙏
