So with all the 6 month cooking and muay thai classes, what happens after month 7, let’s say if you return to Thailand and immigration starts asking questions. Does one just continually renew those courses or take a risk? Because there isn’t anything on the visa itself that says how you qualified unless when they scan the QR code more info shows up. Thoughts ?

I entered for the first time on my dtv soft power, cooking classes. I was questioned but it was pretty reasonable and was not asked to show any documents.

She asked if I was a chef, I said no and just that I love thai food.

I do wonder if it'll be like this every time I come back in.

I actually do love to cook and I am prepared to keep taking these throughout!

Anyone had any issues coming back in on soft power? Proof of fund checks etc?

Or is it just a straight stamp… non anon accounts only 🤣

🙏🏼

Hello, do people who applied for the DTV through soft power have to, for example, practice Muyai Thai for 5 years?

Asking for a friend (seriously), he is Belgium passport holder and wants to come to Thailand end of this month. As far as I understand he can come in for 30 days under de visa exemption and extend that in Thailand for another 30 days? But getting in he needs to proof that he will be leaving Thailand before the end of his first 30 days? Is this really checked?

When you get an ed visa do you know how many pages they use in your passport. Including the three month immigration checks. Thanks Also if you have previous pages that they skipped in your passport can they go back and use those pages..

Thanks for the answers on the TM6 Departure Card. Please advise if we should be carrying it and our passports on us at all times while here? Thanks all, enjoying BKK so far

For the NON-O Thai spouse visa owners.

Do you also have the visit from the Thai immigration officers? They called me all day today and I ignored their calls as I dont answer to unknown numbers, then they called my wife saying that they will visit us tomorrow. My neighboor has to be a witness. It's the 2nd time I am doing this visa... Just want to know if it happens to others too. Cheers!!

Just an update on the weekly clean up attempts of Thai Police and Immigration. Take care your visa or extension of stay.
