Hey everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice on my visa situation 🙏

My situation in short:

* 🇩🇪 German, 29 years old

* 🎓 Officially a student (Bachelor in Applied AI) at an online University in Germany

* 💻 Also working part-time remotely for a German company (but I don’t have an official letter saying I can work from Thailand)

* 🥊 Planning to join a Muay Thai school for several months

* 📍Currently staying in Thailand on a tourist visa

* ✈️ I need to leave Thailand by 20 November

* 💰 Bank statement proof (up to 500,000 THB) is no problem

* 🎯 Goal: stay long-term (ideally DTV-Visa for 5 years, but 6 months would already help)

* 💸 Looking for a low-cost, transparent process – I know official DTV fees are 350 EUR, but agencies quote me 1,000 EUR+, which feels excessive

My questions:

* Has anyone successfully applied for a DTV-Visa themselves (without agency help)?

* Do you know a reliable Visa-Agency that charges a fair price?

* Is it possible to find a Muay Thai school that can provide the official *Letter of Education/Proof of Enrollment* directly, without going through an agency?

* Or is it true that self-applications usually cause issues with the Thai authorities?

Any tips or personal experiences would help me a lot. Thanks in advance 🙌

Any DTV agent in pattaya ?

Can someone please reccomend me an agent for the DTV - mine seems to take days at a time to reply. Looking for someone more reliable, thank you!

Hello can someone be recommend a good agent to help with dtv please

Received approval for my DTV today from Hanoi, Vietnam. For anyone wondering, I submitted on the 20th of January under soft power using the Muay Thai gym called Tiger Eye (highly recommend).

I submitted a few months of compiled bank statements, proof of my passport stamp into Vietnam and all the documents supplied by the gym.

Vietnam New Year celebrations start from tomorrow onwards, so I was praying I’d get the approval beforehand. I hope everyone else also waiting like me gets approved today also 🙏🏼

Very grateful for this group existing, made me feel confident applying myself and not using an agent. Now it’s time to celebrate with 1 million bia hoi and as many banh mi as I can stomach before coming back to the place I can now call home - Thailand 😁

Hi I only see one visa agency in Krabi called Buttercup can anyone reccomend them for a retirement visa? Or would a bigger town be more wise to try to do it instead?

Hi everyone! 😄 any recommendations for reputable Visa Agencies for DTV?

My partner and I travel for most of the year but are now looking to make Thailand our main base. There is so much information out there, we both want to make sure we go about this is in the right way, respect the rules and have the process be as seamless as possible.

Any recommendations would be so appreciated, there is SO much to take in😅
