Under the information about the DTV on the info page is says

"Financial evidence: amount of no less than ฿500,000 ( $ 14,750+ ) for the last 3 months, e.g. bank statements, payslips, sponsorship letter"

Does sponsorship letter work for all softpower?

If i do a medical soft power application what does this sponsorletter need to say?

My impression is that a sponsorletter is to secure and cover your stay, but should that then say 5 years or 180 days??

Anyone used a sponsorletter on a softpower dtv?

Hey there! I’m applying now. Is it okay if I created my business three weeks ago?

(so I don’t have proof of paying income taxes)

Has anyone had a similar experience?

We will be travelling inside Thailand during the burning season. If our 90 day reporting comes, can we do the reporting anywhere in Thailand other than Chiangmai where we live? Tia.

GPT summary:

The "Destination Thailand Visa" (DTV), introduced in July 2024, has seen significant uptake in its first six months. Initially targeting digital nomads, approximately 30,000 visas have been granted to remote workers. Additionally, around 50,000 visas have been issued to individuals engaging in "soft power" activities, such as enrolling in Thai boxing or cooking classes, or seeking medical treatments.

Initially, application processes varied, with some embassies issuing visas swiftly. However, from early 2025, procedures have become more standardized, requiring online applications. Despite this, individual embassies maintain discretion over specific documentation, particularly concerning the mandatory 500,000 baht (approximately US$14,000) bank bond.

The success of the DTV has prompted adjustments in other long-stay visa programs. For instance, the Thai Privilege Card has suspended its 50,000 baht enrollment fee and introduced a more affordable 5-year Elite visa. Similarly, the Board of Investment has lowered income requirements for its digital nomad visa under the 10-year Long Stay Residence program, focusing more on applicants' qualifications and potential contributions.

Overall, the DTV has broadened its appeal, attracting a diverse group of long-stay visitors to Thailand.

Hello, I am in Hong Kong with HKID. I am a Indian passport holder. I want to train muah thai in thailand for 2-3 months. From a google search, I see that I can get 14 days visa free entry with my passport.

If I go to apply for 2-3 months tourist visa on the thai website, I am asked for accommodations and acceptance of institute for the course I am taking.

I would like to get to Chiang Mai first, find what I like and train at that gym and find a condo.

I'd like to budget within 600-800 usd per month.

I want help and guidance on how to proceed.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m on a Non O (married to Thai) visa with the annual extension ending in June. Unfortunately I’m going through a divorce (common farang/thai situation 😒) and will change to the DTV next month.

QUESTION please: Do I need to cancel my Non O visa before leaving the Thailand to apply for the DTV? Or are there any other steps I need to do please?

I was hoping to have the DTV visa lined up before the divorce is final since I have made Thailand my home and plan to return.

Thanks in advance for all your help! 🙏

Hi, I would like to ask about not canceling my Thai visa.

I finished my study in Dec 2023. After that, I went for a visa of research assistance (Non-ED), which was expired in Nov 2024. However, I left Thailand in June 2024 without canceling or buying re-entry.

I read that not canceling my visa is violating Thai regulations. What should I do now to make sure that I did not committed to crime in Thailand? I heard that not canceling visa will be seen as overstay, which can be fined or banned from the country.
