Uk Visa-exempt entry then DTV

Hi all!

I am flying to Thailand in January from UK

I am a VA and have one signed client… I want to have at least 3 clients before applying for my DTV so I have a stronger case built.

so coming up with a plan B just in case…

Is it common to for people on the

60days entry and then fly out to apply for my DTV!?

OR is this going to affect my visa getting approved

Be kind x

I'm kinda confused about the 90 day reporting requirement. If I never stay in the country more than 90 days, does that mean I don't need to do it? What if I signed a lease for an apartment?

I want to thank this group for all the information and prompt response to all answers, I found it very helpful during my application process. Now I want to share my experience in case someone finds it useful.

DTV application (Muay Thai) Approved London embassy.

Application submitted - Monday 13th October

Requested additional document (e-ticket) - Thursday 16th October

E-Ticket submitted (only outbound flight) - Friday 17th October

Visa approved - Today 22nd October

I submitted the following documents:

Last 3 months of bank statements downloaded from the bank app but also got the current balance printed at the bank with a stamp and merged everything into one PDF. (I read in some previous posts that the stamp was requested so I got a stamp just in case).

Driving Licence as proof of current location (Also suggested in some post by successful applicants and by the gym I will be training)

Scanned copy of Passport, Photo and the documents provided by the Gym (I used FitFac Muay Thai Academy in Bangkok - Highly recommended).

My spousal DTV visa was denied:

Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong country of passport

I'm pretty sure it's because it asks issuing authority and I wrote "United States Department of State" as is on my passport and all they wanted was "United States".

It's annoying because the forms make a big deal about everything matching your passport and double check that everything on your passport is in the form exactly without any mistakes.

Anyway, I didn't know about this group until looking up this problem so at least I know where to look for issues when I apply next time. Better luck next time.

Am I right in thinking that potentially I could enter Thailand on a visa exempt for 60 then leave for a few days then come back using a non o 90 day visa that I had applied for previously

I've had a bit of confusion over this myself so would love to hear from anyone that has written information regarding staying in the same country you have applied from while your visa is processing (linked sources only please, not ones opinion).

I was under the impression you had to stay in the same country you applied from, but the gym I am getting paperwork from told me I can leave (just not enter Thailand) so I called the Thai Embassy in Canberra today and they said that it is okay to leave the country.

This was obviously all verbal so would love to read information on this before I risk having my application canceled

Uzbekistani citizens will be able to apply for a DTV visa from Bangkok?

After having received the DTV, should one still keep the funds in that bank account in the event they ask for a reconfirmation anytime later on for whatever reason. Or are chances low they will ask for a proof of these funds again within the 5 year period of the visa? Would be a shame to keep the money sitting idle there for 5 years.

Hi all, has a gone got a DTV visa without having a long term rental but a 2/3 months hotel booking confirmation?

In the application procedure seems that hotel accommodation is also accepted.

Thanks in advance!

I’m new to this, but If I get a 3 month Visa & stay for two months & I go outside Thailand for 3 weeks to Cambodia then come back to Thailand does my visa restart? or do I apply again?
