I made my request 2 times for DTV with a muy Thai school, the first request to Ho Chi Minh was refused (I had returned to Thailand before the answer I did not know...). But I remade my application in Hanoi a few days ago, I have absolutely all the necessary documents and amount, but they still refused....without any explanation... I don't know what to do it's a lot of money for nothing. Do you have any advice?

DTV oil rig work

I work 4 on 4 off ,

What is my best option to get a 5 year dtv visa,

I am about to go back to work in Denmark for 5 weeks then I'll get 3 weeks off this time.

Should I apply in Denmark whilst I do my 5 weeks or apply back when I'm in the UK for 3 weeks.

Is my best bet a mauy Thai visa ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Denied dtv visa.I thought business owners would be able to this visa?Very strange.The business is not in Thailand.

Has anyone had this while applying for there DTV. I understood as long as you apply for it outside Thailand once you’ve applied you can in theory travel back into Thailand.

Hey Everyone,

I applied for DTV a few weeks ago (Thai Embassy Munich) and haven’t received it yet.

I am arriving in Thailand tomorrow!

Which is not a problem for now, since I am just staying for 70 Days and can just use tourist visa + go to immigration for extension after 60 days

(Or maybe get an agency, who does this for me?)

BUT do you know if my DTV application is terminated, when I travel to Thailand without it? Because in the application they asked for my flight and day of arrival😬

That would be very sad to just spend the money for nothing

Thanks for your help!

Can I "renew" a marriage visa into a retirement Visa or do I need to start over with the retirement Visa process?

Hi all,

UK, 30s, looking at the DTV 5-year Muay Thai visa and had a few quick questions:

1) I meet the 500k THB requirement but it’s split across a couple of investment accounts.

Do they accept multiple statements or is it safer to move it all into one bank account first?

2) Best place to apply if I’m currently in Thailand?

Happy to fly anywhere but want to keep costs down.

3) Roughly how long is processing taking at the moment?

Also — I’ve got another account with 500k but the money comes from betting exchange trading.

I’m guessing it’s best not to mention that on the application given Thailand’s stance on gambling?

Thanks in advance !

Hi, so I finally received a reply from London Embassy regarding DTV application questions and I’m just wondering if anyone can advise whether or not they had to provide actual flights tickets or similar confirmation as per the below?

“Flight details (e-ticket issued directly by the airline), showing your name, departure date, and full itinerary from the UK/Ireland to Thailand, including onward travel (if any)”

I never understood this to be honest because if I don’t get DTV I’ll just travel as a tourist and book a return flight for 90 days, but if I do get DTV I’ll book a return flight for 180 days. Surely this condition would be more relevant if the visa was actually approved first because changing the return flight costs money and I’d rather know the visa application status before booking!

The wait is over

Question regarding the 500,000 THB. I have it but on my broker/investments account (so technically it’s not a bank account). It is not invested so it was liquid at all times. Would that work?

UPD: the answer is no, so I just transferred it to my bank account, would that be enough if im applying in 2 weeks or it has to be there for 3 month?
