Someone who gets a visa based on studying Thai boxing and is approved for 5 years... If he leaves Thailand after 6 months, travels to his country for a few months, and then returns to Thailand... will they ask at the entrance to see the course registration again?
I got my DTV visa approved for Thailand, but my plans changed. My flight was delayed by about a month, so my entry date and departure location are different from what I submitted. I’ll enter Thailand about 4 months after applying.
Has anyone had a similar situation? Did it cause any issues or require any updates?
Would love to get your help on the below, and if you ever come up with that request. I submitted my documents to the Belgian embassy with the digital normal workcation (I have a permanent contract here that lets me work from anywhere), and 3 days late,r they came back with the following request for additional documents:
Higher res photo - did you scan or maybe take a picture of your passport-sized photo with your phone? I scanned it to ensure it looks better, but I guess not suitable
2.Other request documents: Since application would get 5 years-visa, please provide the letter of explanation of your plan/ project for the next 5 years in Thailand
Have you ever needed to submit project plan like this - not sure what plan they expect, that maybe I want to take language and cooking courses, perhaps at my own pace and understand the culture better?
✨✨ My DTV Soft Power Thai Cooking (Arun Thai Cooking Class) visa has been approved in Laos. Everything went super smoothly, and all the required documents were arranged within just one day.
My DTV visa journey (Thai Embassy in Laos):
Applied online → paid the fee at the Thai Embassy in Laos in Thai baht (cash only) → waited for my interview appointment → had the interview and received the result on the same day.
1. How to support myself: I will say it’s from my savings with that 500k thb bank statement. Would it be enough to explain myself?
2. My plan after the 5 yr visa: I will use soft power Muay Thai. So what would be an appropriate and successful explanation? If I say I would like to renew the DTV or apply other visa to stay in Thailand, will it give a bad impression?
