Sharing a quick observation from our DTV application process and helping a few others recently with documents, application forms, and choosing where to apply from.

From what I’ve seen so far — applicants with a solid travel history and no overstay or immigration violations seem to be getting approvals faster compared to those without much travel background or any past issues with Thai immigration.

Of course, this is just an observation, not a rule. We’re all learning and supporting each other through the process.

Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Has anyone noticed something similar?

I usually use just the passport.Visa exempt stamp in my passport and then I go out of the country every sixty days and I have had no problems. This trip I have a tourist Visa which is valid until October multiple entries.And at the end of the two months I went to laos and when I came back to don muang i was pulled aside and taken to an area where they looked at my history of traveling. They made me show them my Visa. My bank accounts in America how much money I had on my hotel reservation, My return ticket to America which is in October and also I had to get my girlfriend's I.D picture and show them that. So after all that they did allow me entry but they said if I try to do a two month exit and come back again they will possibly ban me from coming to thailand. I thought the tourist Visa would not be a problem.So what everyone has been saying about it becoming more difficult to come back into thailand after short exits is true. As of today I will be leaving one month before my return ticket date. I may go to the immigration office and try to apply for an extension and see.I have the same problem.I did at the airport. Anybody have a suggestion on that?

This question is not for getting a visa into Thailand, but for a Thai person getting a tourist visa to the UK. She is working, 50 yrs old and will have a return flight.

Has anyone had any problems with a Thai friend getting into the UK for a holiday, and meet a friend?

My Question

Can I get DTV Thai visa from Pakistan, I am frequent traveler with strong travel history including Thailand 🇹🇭, anyone have idea and experience please share

How do Thai people gets their tourist approved to visit USA?

So my wife was recently denied tourist visa to the USA. Background, she has a job at a hospital, we own a home together, and we have over 300k in her bank account “that money has been sitting there for over a year”. She also printed out her bank statement for the interview but they never asked to see it. Agent asked, what she want to go to the states for, where is she planing to visit and where is she staying. After that the interview was over and found that she was denied.

Maybe some of you guys who have had experience can share with me in how to get her a tourist visa.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone here can help me with a few questions about the DTV (Soft Power Muay Thai) Visa.

I’m currently in Indonesia (Kei Islands) and planning to apply from here. I’d be very grateful for any insights:

1.) Does anyone know a good Muay Thai gym in Bangkok that offers training vouchers or flexible packages?

I plan to stay in Thailand for only 2 months before going back to Germany for work for 4 months — and then returning to Thailand. So a full 6-month course might not make sense if I can't use the whole time.

2.) I still have an unused Tourist Visa from Cambodia, but ended up entering Thailand via Visa Exemption at a land border because the Tourist Visa process took too long. Could that cause issues when entering Thailand with the DTV Visa?

3.) Would it be better to enter Thailand again now using the unused Tourist Visa (by plane from Indonesia), and apply for the DTV Visa later from Germany?

Travel history this year:

Dec 2024: Entered Thailand with Visa Exemption. Was questioned at Immigration, but had a nice conversation in Thai with them and they told me, I should get next time a proper Visa and did too many 30 days extensions (last year and only Visa Exemption entry) but could enter Thailand again...

Feb 2025: Left to Cambodia for 10 days

Mar 2025: Returned to Thailand via Visa Exemption again

Apr 2025: Left Thailand to Indonesia

May 2025: Planning to return (flight from Indonesia)

I didn't do any 30 days extensions this time :-))

Thanks so much in advance! Really appreciate any advice or shared experience 🙏🙏🙏

My passport needs renewing next year so when I return to Thailand with it, the immigration officer won’t know how many times I’ve been in & out of Thailand unless he goes into the system am I right thinking that 🤔

If I have 2 passports, and I present a brand new passport to the customs officer, does the system see my entire previous travel history, or just my last departure from Thailand?

Has there been any cases of DTV visa holders being denied entry to Thailand at the Bangkok airports due to a long history of stays in Thailand? Ran a search and couldn’t find anything, which I guess is a good sign

Hi, I'm from the UK

I entered Thailand on visa exemption in June, stayed 30 days and then flew to Cambodia.

I flew back after 5 days on visa exemption it had changed to 60 days so I stayed and then flew to the Philippines.

After 5 days I flew back to Thailand and stayed 60 and the extended 30.

I flew out before Christmas to korea and will return on the 2nd of January.

Do you think I will have issues entering next week?
