Sawasdee Krub,

Anyone familiar with this coming from the Us should be able to help.

I’ve been told the move to stay in Thailand is to apply for the DTV visa, full stop. The issue of course is that you need 500,000 baht average in a bank account (checking /savings) for 90 + days.

I have a brokerage account with the amount but from what I understand, that doesn’t work because it has to be currency, not stocks, crypto, etc.

My back up is an ED visa, but I’m concerned because the fees aren’t refundable for either option, and I’m flying on 31st Oct.

If I’m being honest, I’m planning to train Muay Thai, and learn the language (probably seek citizenship eventually)

I get checks for life, and plan on working digitally on top of that, but they want 3 months of the money in my account to recieve DTV.

Can I come in with ED and and apply after the expiration from another SE country?

Is there any tips on how I still may be able to get the DTV? I really really want that one!

Khop Khun Krub!

Hi everyone 👋

I’m looking into getting an ED visa to study Thai in Bangkok, and I’d really appreciate some advice.

* What are the most reputable Thai language schools in the city that people recommend for the ED visa?

* Any tips or experiences (good or bad) you’ve had with schools, the visa process, or things to look out for?

Thanks a lot for any insights 🙏

Possibly a foolishness question, but why does no one seem to use the Thai language visa?

Hi everyone! I have will have spent a year in thailand in April on a ED Visa (language learning). I’d like to stay one more year, but does anyone know if its possible to get another ED Visa for a different school/study (such as muay thai or hand to hand combat?) what are my options besides the DTV visa? Seeing so much mixed info online. Thank you!

Hey , so around the summer of 2027 I’m going to be leaving out the army (not retirement) I’ll be 28 and my plan is to use my gi bill to go to college full time learning Thai for 4 years. Any advice of work from home jobs certifications or savings amount and anything else that is recommended to make the move easier that I should do before I move there. I have 2 years to prep.

I am a Japanese living in Bangkok. I want to get an ED visa. Can you tell me a cheap school that teaches Thai in Japanese?

Ill be applying for my ed visa soon. Which school did everyone decide to go with? I just want to select the best school. I also want to stay away from any with processing issues. I have heard someone recently get deported because the school didn't complete their paperwork in time.

Hello! Can you recommend a good Thai language school in Bangkok that does courses for 3-4 months and also provides ED visa?

I'm looking for small group classes (intermediate level probably) and I genuinely want to study, I'm not looking for a way to get visa only. I would like to start by the middle/end of February.

Thank you for any advices!

Hi all!

I'm looking for recommendations on any language schools that people have joined and then successfully applied for DTV visa?

Preferably a school with good teachers and teaching methods :)

Hey guys!

I'm a US citizen looking to get my DTV in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. I wanted help with the best practices/EXACT paperwork and docs needed so i get the least amount of additional requests or needless holdups:

I am a remote worker with an LLC although i'm fine doing soft power (muay thai or language) if that is a similar alternative. Which would be better?

Any advice and guidance would be super appreciated 🙏
