Can anyone recommend places in Chiang Mai that do the DTV ‘soft

power visa?

QUESTIONS RE AUSTRALIA & AGENT

🙏

Hello! I’ve searched the group which is very helpful but I haven’t found an answer to these specifically.

I am wanting to apply at the Thai Embassy in Australia for a soft power DTV (currently in Thailand on Ed visa) so will go home to Australia when my Ed visa expires and apply so I can continue my Muay Thai training (DTV wasn’t a thing when I applied for my Ed)

1. Does anyone have any recommendations for an agent they used and were successful using for Australia specifically???

2. My partner is working here on a work visa and supporting me and our baby so I don’t have an income currently as I’m a stay at home mum. But I have the required $$$ in my bank. I am hoping an agent can assist with my documents to best explain this situation ect because I understand even with soft power they are now asking how you intend to support yourself. We are not married by paper but considered defacto under Australian law which the Thai embassy have already told me is not a problem when I emailed them as we share a bank account. Has anyone had any success in a similar situation in Australia?

3. Any other infomation those who were successful in Australia would like to share that I haven’t seen already in search function 🙂

Took only 4 BUSINESS DAYS, from Thai Embassy in HANOI. Amazingly short time, I couldn't be happier!

Went for the 6-month cooking class from "House of Taste Thai Cooking" (Bangkok) and I decided to go for a visa agent, as I have a long history of different visas in Thailand and was afraid not to be granted the DTV for this reason.

French passport here, started with border runs, then an ED visa, then some Tourist visas, and even despite owning a TV, I was stopped at Suvarnabhumi airport by the immigration agent for coming in & out too often, so I then decided to go for an expensive Elite / Privilege visa. That was 6 years ago, just before the Covid era.

Last week, instead of renewing my Elite visa (as I didn't see any rational reason for paying that much - 50x more, at least - for it, except maybe for being able to open some bank accounts), I simply went for the 'new' DTV and I have absolutely no regret! Applied on a Wednesday, approved on a Monday.

Good Luck to EVERYONE, Peace! :)

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for a trustworthy visa agent, I’m staying in Pratumnak.

Many thanks. 🙏

My husband and I have started the visa process. It seems fairly straightforward, although I'll probably have more questions as we move through the process.

Is it worth it to hire an agent to do some leg work and/or review the required documentation? If so, what's the average cost?

We'll be staying in Krabi when we come back from tidying up our affairs here. So if we need to meet up with an agent hopefully they're near Krabi.

Just arrived in Thailand went to start my visa process. Any advice? Looking for a good agent.

Hey guys so Im trying to understand DTV better because I've spoken to 10 different agents/agencies in the last two weeks and have had almost completely different answers everytime

* Different prices

* Different requirements

* Different time frames

* Different counties id need to go

* Different finances

* Some require meetings some don't

* Some require 500k some dont

So what should I actually know and who should I actually talk too?

Looking for good reputable visa agent in Bangkok. Please help

Can anybody recommend a reliable and reasonably priced visa agent in Phuket?

I've been quoted 70k for a marriage visa, in which i think is a complete rip off. This includes assistance with a yellow book and the registration of the marriage. Additional, i just handed over 25k for an Australian tourist visa for my wife.

Any thoughts on what i think is my own stupidity.
