Hi everyone,

Sawadee Krup,

Being both a German and Suisse national, turning 48 very soon, I am currently considering to move to Thailand in the near future. Having done some research regarding visas a, I am still quite uncertain what is the best option for me.

1.

I’ve already learnt that I am eligible to apply for Education Visa which is supposed to run one year. For that purpose, I need to find a language school in Thailand where I could either enhance my English skills or learn the Thai language from scratch.

Can I apply for another type of visa after one year? Am I eligible to apply for the same visa after one year again?

Furthermore, could I apply for an Education Visa in Thailand if I entered already on Tourist Visa (60+30 days)

2.

In addition to that, the Thai government offers the opportunity to apply for an DTV which is valid for 5 years. Basically, there are three options given for the DTV Visa, two of them include soft options such as Thai Cooking Course and Muay Thai Training. Since it is valid for 5 years do I need to take part in several courses over the duration of 5 years in order to keep the Visa valid? I already know that I have to leave the country after 180 days.

3. Could you be so kind to give me a recommendation regarding an agency (preferably in the Chiang Mai area), which deals with Visas and relating stuff?

Thanks for any advice!

Has anyone here worked with an agency to process their DTV visa?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations based on your experience.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice

I’d really like to continue staying in Thailand

long-term, but I’m a bit stuck on what visa options are realistically possible for me right now.

I’ve already been on an ED visa for the past 2 years (through an agency), so I don’t think continuing the same route is a good idea anymore.

I was considering the DTV visa, but I don’t currently meet the financial requirements (not enough funds in my bank account), so I’m not sure if that’s still an option.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

What visa options would you recommend that are actually doable (and safe) for staying longer in Thailand?

Also, if you’ve had any good (or bad) experiences with visa agencies, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thank you so much

Hi, has anyone applied through 'DtvThaiVisa - best dtv agency'? They were very prompt with reverts initially, but since the time i have paid them, they have stopped reverting. Anyone who has experienced their service? Pls let me know since it's been 2 weeks since I have paid and sent my documents to them and I am very worried now.

Hi all, I am about to start applying for a DTV visa for my fiance and I. Most of our income is dividens will this be an issue? If so I could lower the dividend and up the payroll salary for 3-6 months before applying to strengthen our opportunity. Lastly is it best to apply myself via the Thai government website or use an agency? Which agency’s have people used? TIA
