Got my DTV in Sydney Australia yesterday. Lodged on 6 November explained that my existing visa expires 19 November.

Stayed at pending document check until 20 November. Got a email 21 November Approved.

No problems with the application. No additional documents. Got the DTV on the Softpower platform Thai Cooking classes with House of taste 6 months.

Thanks for the advise read on this forum.

How will the new border run rules affect dtv holders?

Or does nothing change for us?

Within how long do you have to enter Thailand once the DTV visa request has been approved?

I can submit the application from Europe in December, but before going to Thailand in June I need to travel to Bali first.

And I want to apply for the DTV Soft power.

Has anyone applied for METV and why do people choose DTV instead of trying the METV?

We have just obtained the 30 day extension from the 60 day visa exemption in Hua Hin Immigration (Blúport office). Photo is longer required.

Police clearance

Has anyone done police clearance in Bangkok recently and could remind me if they needed tm30 or certificate of residency for prove of living address. Could you also please remind me what else was needed as of documents .

Many thanks

Im planning to live in Bangkok

Looking at muya Thai gyms chiang mai seems affordable than Bangkok

So if register with chiang mai gym and if my rent agreement in Bangkok will they approve for DTV ?

I want a budget muyathai gym around 15k bhat and under if possible

Should I notify my landlord to update my TM30 each time I come back to Thailand?

Hi guys, sorry for the weird question.

I am in Thailand on dtv, I know the TM30 "resets" each time I leave and enter Thailand. I do frequent flights due to my business ( around every 2-3 months) and don't want to bother my landlord each time I enter, is it required by law to update the tm 30 each time or is it only required when I need it for something ( at immigration etc) ?

I'm kinda confused about the 90 day reporting requirement. If I never stay in the country more than 90 days, does that mean I don't need to do it? What if I signed a lease for an apartment?

When applying for DTV, what address should I put in Thailand? I only have a hotel booking for the first 3 weeks but don’t have an apartment rented yet.
