Soft power. Unemployed. 6 months. Documents are valid. Requirements are met. Attended a 1 hour interview. Embassy in Vienna.

I saw someone post about wanting to be based in Thailand for 2-3 years and asking about the process. I thought the DTV isn't meant for long-term stays, but at my interview the embassy questioned every small detail of my application, and did so several times. I stated that after finishing the soft power course, I would return to my country, look for a remote job, and maybe come back later to enroll and finish the other 6 months of the 12 month course.

In the end, they mentioned they would be asking for more documents to send to Thailand for review. One of these is a motivation letter. Now I am worried that what I already explained might make them think I want to overstay. I’m a bit confused is an understatement. How should I write a motivational letter?

Hello,

I am a German citizen but I don't have a German residency or any other permanent address.

I am a perpetual traveller.

What can I do in this case to get the DTV as it requires the proof of a location/address?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar situation and managed to get the DTV approved without having an official residence.

Thanks a lot!

I have a friend who is 19, and he's here in Thailand with his father. His passport is absolutely full of stamps because he used to go to school in Gibraltar when he lived in Spain.

The problem now is that he's overstayed his visa, and he wasn't able to get an extension because his passport is literally out of space for any more stamps.

The extension was due on the 29th of July, and now it's the 11th. So we're looking at the best route to get him a new passport and to help him renew his visa and extend it before the end of the month.

We’re also considering just paying the overstay fine and then having him fly out of the country and return to Thailand on a tourist visa again.

In Chiang Mai, so thinking Flight to Vietnam.

But whats the most rapid way to get a new passport with space

I am applying for soft power for medical treatment from my home country, Sweden. It is a legit medical treatment with a plan over the course of 2 years with check ups every 6 months. I have that letter from the hospital, bank statements for 6 months, extract from the tax office showing my address, ticket to Thailand, hotel booking for the first few nights. Is there anything else I need?

TIA.

Just got denied today at Jakarta embassy. Applied 3rd of July. No reason given.

Ummm... How long is this suppose to take?

Hey guys,

After my visa application got cancelled, I don't have any other option except to try applying again. But at the same time, I'm running out of time on my Vietnamese visa — I’ll have to leave the country by tomorrow at the latest.

Which embassy should I choose between Penang and Jakarta?

These would be the best options for me because my country doesn't require a visa for up to 30 days.

Thanks for your help!
