Someone here, with a “M” Visa (Media) or any experience getting it? I Need some advice thank you.

Uk male. 64 years old. Semi-retired. Have necessary funds in bank. Have 2 part-time jobs for Thai companies in UK but combined salaries only £500 per month. Easy enough to get contracts of employment. Anyone know if the size of salary is taken into consideration when applying for DTV. Thank you

Question, if i get the DTV visa i can leave and come back from Thailand whenever i want or just once every 6 months?

What is the longest lag time allowed between being granted a 90 Day Non O Visa in your home country, and actually arriving in Thailand, receiving your non-o passport stamp, and beginning your 90 Days of paradise? I was told u actually also have 90 days from day of visa approval to arrive and still be valid for 90 days in Thailand.

During this past week, several Thai Embassies and Consulates around the world have officially announced and posted Notices that they will go to the Thai E-Visa website [members only]/ system to accept Thai E-Visa applications, process, and issue Thai E-Visas starting on the New Year, 01 January 2025.

Generally, they will stop accepting in-person visa application submissions and stop issuing Thai Visa Stickers on Christmas Eve, 24 December 2024, with a few Thai Embassies/Consulates stopping before that on 20 December 2024 or earlier. At Taipei, they will stop on 27 December 2024.

Do note the processing times with Thai E-Visa are longer than before with many announcements stating 10–15 working days to process and issue Thai E-Visas.

Also, some Thai Embassies/Consulates will NOT be accepting card payments via the Thai E-Visa website, but will instead be accepting payments in Cash after submitting an Thai E-Visa application via the website.

Those Thai Embassies/Consulates that have announced this different method of payment (Cash) are: Vientiane, Savannakhet, Yangon, India, Brunei, Pakistan, Tel Aviv, Jordan, others....

These announcements are in line with the stated goal of the Thai Government to change all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world to the Thai E-Visa website system by December 2024.

To the helpful, concise, informative people in this group who don't just make stuff up or post half truths or misinformation, thank you very, very much, you were a big help. Sorry for anonymity, but it's for legal reasons. Thai embassy Hanoi for the win! 4 days processing time.

Thank you to this group for providing lots of info, hope this helps someone applying to the same location.

Hi,

I just wanted to clarify something with people that already did the DTV.

Is the total cost of the VISA for 5 years (Excluding extensions) 10,000 bath?

Is any other type of VISA like ED mandatory?

I've contacted multiple agencies, and they all try to push their language / cooking / course on top of it.

So again, is another type of VISA like ED mandatory or is enough to pay the DTV and have all the requirements (income/savings/etc.).?

Thanks!

Hello group, want to ask, if I’m unemployed, but want to attending muay thai course, is it possible to apply DTV? thank you🙏

Dear Community,

Does anyone know what kind of information is disclosed by the Thai Embassy (for example in Germany) when you're submitting for the DTV? Thank youuu!
