Anybody had this? 🙂

Some years in a row i stayed in Thailand with tourist visa and border runs. And some years i was here more than 180days a year 🙂 now emmigration dont like this and i want to make DTV visa 🙂

It will not be an issue? Anybody done it?

Also if somebody stayed 180+ days, dont you have any problems with tax system (becoming Thailand tax residence)? 🙂

Thanks a lot for any advices

My Muay Thai gym is being advertised on another website as DTV available.

I'm not sure who these guys are or weather it's just an information website, visa service or scam. But for sure if you want to go the Muay Thai route contact the gym website direct. Will definitely be cheaper and more legit

Are the Thai embassies aware that their checklist for required documents for the tourist visa is a long time out of date?

It's already been 3 months since DTV launched.

All DTV visa holders are still having trouble opening bank accounts here.

I emailed all the banks every week and there were no updates from the bank of Thailand. I guess we just pay agents to do this 😭😭

Seeking advice for my Son who is currently stopped at immigration inside the Chiang Mai airport after a border run.

Immigration said he’s come and gone to many times and they won’t allow him back in to get his belongings from Lanna Muay Thai, where he’s been training. They made him buy a flight back to Malaysia.

How do I get my son back to Chiang Mai, Thailand? He has to get his stuff and use his return flight home.

Any advice helps.

Hopefully this post gets approved.

I am dealing with a gym that tells me they can accept my application and proof of funds and forward it to the Foreign Department in Thailand and they approve and forward to my embassy. And then I suppose I go to embassy for a stamp in my passport ? Sounds like they are acting as an agent ?

I just tried to apply in Savannakhet, Laos, but ran into some issues. When I dropped off my documents, they informed me that they couldn’t review them immediately and asked me to return in two business days, with no guarantee that they would even process the application.

When I went back two days later, they returned my application because my business license wasn’t notarized. They also pointed out that the last three bank statements need to show a minimum balance of 500,000 THB, otherwise the application would be rejected.

I'm confused. I have a DTV visa but the immigration only gave me from 4 October - 2 December on my stamp

I’ve got no possibility of applying for the DTV from my home country (the Netherlands) since I am already in Malaysia. Has anyone experienced trouble applying for the visa in another country other than their own?
