I am posting this anonymously because I own a Muay Thai gym and I want to respect the groups rules and I am not trying to promote my gym.

Here is my question. Why on earth are people getting agents? Some of these agents are charging exorbitant fees - what are they charging for? The requirements seem pretty straight forward and this visa seems ridiculously easy to apply for.

Someone contacted us and gave me a list of documents they required which sounded off because we have done many DTV applicants and they never asked for some of these docs, then they told me the agent was asking for them and when I found out how much the agent was charging my jaw dropped.

When your 90 days for your initial non-b is nearing expiration I assume you go to your local immigration office to get it extended.

Does immigration office also stamp your passport for the extension?

Anyone used this seminar to apply for the DTV? It only costs 3999.00 Baht. It says you have to attend only once per month online. The website says it qualifies for the DTV. I wonder if its legit or scam.

Hey guys, just a quick question regarding the bank statement... I'm going to be sending 6 months of my Wise account (with the official Wise verification stamp and signature included), however the currency I have is RON (Romanian Lei). Will this be okay?

The statement is 100% in English, but the currency is not USD or EUR, it's RON.

500,000 Thai Baht is around 70,000 Romanian Lei. Shall I send an XE screenshot showing the conversion?

Thank you

I would like to share how I got my DTV visa in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

This group helped me a lot during my preparation and that's why I wanna contribute too.

❗I applied in September and at that time, the embassy accepted walk-in application, however, it will change to Evisa starting from 8th October.

General info

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

The process was pretty easy in my case.

No appointment was needed.

I applied on a Friday and got an appointment next Friday.

The processing time was pretty long though.

There was no interview.

Visa fees $400

Documents I submitted

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

✅Passport

✅Passport front page copy

✅Visa application form

(1 photo, white background, 3.5 x4.5 cm)

✅Place of stay in Thailand (condo rental contract)

✅Flight ticket (not a mandatory though, since I have already bought one, I submitted it also)

✅Workcation category

•Work contract

•Recommendation letter

•Payslips (6 months)

✅Bank statement (3months)

•With Myanmar bank account

•The account has been opened for more than 1 year but was inactive without transactions.

•Put the money 2 weeks prior to my application date

✅Bank certificate

•I requested the bank to include the currency in both MMK and USD.

•Both of my bank statement and bank certificate are not the original documents. Since I am already in Thailand, my mom helped me get the documents and sent me the scanned copies. I submitted with the sacnned ones and that was okay.

I have also made a video about this but I'm sorry it's not in English sub.

Hope this helps!

All the best ☘️

How can I get a Performer’s / actors “O” type visa?

Long story short.

I am a successful touring DJ , singer, and music producer (played major festivals with Snoop Dogg, SEVENTEEN, etc) actress (commercials only) , and content creator.

I am not SAG-AFRA. But I’ve booked major TV commercials.

I know in Japan for example, there’s companies like GxPlus , Halo Live, etc who sponsor foreign entertainers and YouTubers for the explicit purpose of promoting Japan soft power and allowing them to work with Japanese brands etc.

I’m guessing there are similar companies here, as I have seen foreigners in ads, commercials, and obviously DJing etc.

I have a large Asian and western following with many media articles about me to prove this for immigration sake (I know many countries ask for media coverage)

Anyways does this sound plausible?

I don’t care about the actual earning potential in baht because I still earn passively from my US / Canadian work.
