To get my DTV visa I am looking for an authorized school to take Thai classes, thank you for your advice because I need a cultural activity on site to be able to get it. Some of you ever get it this way?

-------------

Pour l’obtention de mon visa DTV je cherche une école agréée pour pouvoir suivre des cours de thaï, merci pour vos conseils car il me faut une activité culturelle sur place pour pouvoir l’avoir. Certains d’entre vous l’ont déjà obtenu de cette manière ?

Landed safely, passed through immigration, and no questions were asked. Location (Airport): DMK, Visa: DTV. :)

So my LTR seems to have been rejected (according to the login page… I’ve received no info on why). Now I somehow need to get education visas for my kids before arrival in Bangkok on July 24 but the evisa site is apparently down. Any suggestions?

I'm doing my tourist isa on-line and they want the places I'll be staying at. I don't know yet and plan to travel around. How do I answer this question?

I’ve just submitted my application for a DTV and paid the £300. Reading it’s non refundable. If I’ve not completed it correctly or they need further info, will they contact me or do I lose the £300 and have to re-think my application process? I believe I’m ok but it just unsettled me when it says non- refundable

Got my retirement visa extension valid until 30. September 2026. multiple entries.

I guess it kicks in after my current non-O 90 days visa expires.

Timeline:

4. July 2025. Friday: consultation, paperwork, copies at Thai Visa Center, payment (1 hour)

7. July Monday - opening bank account. TVC staff was at the bank branch to assist (TVC car picked me up, 40 minutes at the bank, brought me back home)

8. July Tuesday - processing

9. July Wednesday - my passport with 1 year retirement extension and multiple entries and my bank passbook in my hands( My ATM card was with me when I left the bank). A messenger delivered passport and bank passbook about noon.

It was very quick, possibly, I got lucky and was within a batch of other applicants that they process once a week or in 10 days

Absolutelly great service by Thai Visa Center.

Hi all 🙂

Me and my partner are looking and staying long time in Thailand in October we are going to be based in Krabi

We would like to come on an educational visa and learn Muay Thai

Has anyone got any recommendations on how to get started? Who to contact? Or any schools that can help the whole process for us

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you :)

Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locked me out concurrently. Today, I wanted to pay by QR using the Bangkok bank app, I got the notorious locked app warning message indicating name on my SIM is not matching the name on the bank account which is a huge bogus as I use this AIS number for more than 2 years and opened it myself with my passport and all info is genuine. I noticed my AIS app also kept closing when I clicked on it, apparently they also locked me out for some reason but my wireless service was uninterrupted. Bangkok Bank demanded a letter from the AIS shop to unlock the app. AIS shop said they just wanted to take my new photo and see my passport again, I quickly solved the AIS issue. But why do I have to go through this. It seems either it is so lax in Thailand that agents can get phone numbers to scammers under false IDs or every single foreigner must line up with their passports at wireless and bank counters to have their photo taken and passports validated. Always extremes.. land of .miles long queus

I am trying to open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa, what is the friendliest bank office in Chiang Mai to attempt that? I already know it is becoming difficult

Probably been asked but has anyone manged to renue licenses from 2 to 5 year using DTV or a agent pattaya area?
