If I want to learn Muay Thai through soft power in order to obtain a DTV visa, do I have to go to a Muay Thai gym for five years?

thank you

Can i still open a bank account under the 1-year ED visa Or the bank will consider it a “tourist visa”?

Soft Power (muay thai) approved today in Hanoi (previous education visa for 1 year and UK passport):

Documents submitted:

- passport and photo

- all passport pages with stamps inc entry stamp to Vietnam (shows education visa was cancalled at immigration before leaving Thailand)

- hotel booking confirmation in Hanoi

- gym documents

- 6 months of bank statements (only final month showing 500k baht)

- entered flight details back to Thailand dated 2 weeks from application date

Applied: friday 23rd May (after 6pm office hours) but status went straight to pending document check

Monday 26th PM- pending approval

Friday 30th AM - visa approved

No request for extra documents and issued in 4 working days. Partners visa also approved same time on independent applications.

Hello👋🏻 , m planning my first ever trip to thailand where i would preferably stay for a year at least as a remote worker ( I don’t make 2700$/month for a DTV ) , should i just go visa free for 90 days then leave and get a 90 visa for a total of 6 months ? Is there any better options ? I heard people take muai thai classes for a full year visa. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻

Hello group,

I hope to get some advice from you here. My daughter will be studying in Bangkok for a year. University starts on August 13th, and we are arriving in Bangkok in mid-July for a vacation. We live in Holland and have a tourist visa valid for two months.

My question is:

Should we apply for an Education Visa for our daughter before entering Thailand?

Or is it better to enter Thailand on a tourist visa and apply for the Education Visa later while we are in Thailand?

Thank you in advance

Currently under a Tourist visa that expires in one month:

I need to extend and find the best visa for 6 months until October (become 50 and can get RTM).

DTV prices seem very expensive for 6 months.

I have had ‘ challengers’ at airport from immigration due to previous stamps.

What’s the best advise for a 6 month visa ….

Thank you

Has anyone applied for an education visa whilst being in Thailand? Can I ask what documentation is needed?

Hello all! We are looking for people in a similar situation. Both my wife and I collect pension, roughly 284,000 THB per month combined, not including outside sources of income. We started working with Bangkok Buddy as a visa / travel agent, but after hours of research into the subject we are lost.

Quick bio of our situation, we are both U.S. Military Veterans with 3 children, we would like to put them in an international school, however we must figure out our visa situation before applying. Another thought that may be important to take into consideration with Visas, (having a Thai employee, aka Nanny). We are both in our 20’s so we don’t hit that 50yr mark quite yet lol.

For the expats in similar situations, did you stick to Thailand or move from country to country every 90 days? Please help us navigate this 🙏🏻 Thanks ya’ll!

Interesting.

Can anyone who has been on an education visa tell me the cons?
