Anyone successfully applied for a DTV visa under Muay Thai with this gym: Elite Fight Club Bangkok successfully? Anyone done it in Indonesia (hoping to go to Bali or Yogyakarta)? How long did you wait? Its the same gym Agency Issa Compass has proposed but I'm just gonna do it myself to cut half of the expenses.

Thanks

Hi all , I have an account with Bangkok Bank but I have been out of Thailand for over a year . I’ve seen there have been issues with people having their accounts frozen, I’ve also read that it doesn’t affect people who are married to a Thai and have an address in Thailand both of which apply to me . Can anyone confirm this to be correct ?

I’ll soon be returning to Thailand but I’m not sure if I should transfer money from my UK account to Bangkok bank or not .

If they were to suspend my account would they give notice ?

I’ve logged into my account’s app and everything seems to be ok at present .

Any advice would be welcome . Thanks .

Hey everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur on September 3rd. It’s been 3 weeks now and I haven’t received any updates yet. Two days after I applied, they requested some additional documents, which I uploaded the same day.

Should I be worried, or is this kind of waiting time normal?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Just adding a data point. Arrived in BKK, we had to fill out TDAC, the TDAC asked for leave date and airline flight, we picked a random one about 6 months from now and filled that in. When we went continued through immigration and got stamped no questions were asked, we simply gave them our A1 printed out visas and was stamped for 6 months.

Is there any additional forms, or reporting needed on our end if we plan on staying 6 months?

Approved in Vientiane / Laos. Freelancer category.

Timeline:

Application submitted: 14/09

Request for further documents: 15/09

Interview: 23/09 10am (seen at 11am)

Approved: less than 15 minutes after my interview.

Entered Thailand: 23/09 (the evening of approval).

So it was 9 days from submitting and paying for the application to then physically being in Thailand 🇹🇭 very fast. I believe it was fast because I was extremely thorough in my application.

The only request for further documents I received was a clearer photo.

This group helped me a LOT!!!! And I mean, A LOT. So thank you to the admins and also all the members 🙏

My experience:

I own an events and entertainment company in Australia. It’s only small. I have zero staff and run it entirely online alone. I employ entertainment contractors for private events, parties and pub / club events.

I supplied a bunch of invoices and a bunch of remittance notices (payment confirmation slips).

I also supplied screenshots of my website and also a copy of my Australia business registry page from their website with my company name and Australian Business number, which matched all of my invoices.

Nothing more for proof of income.

I uploaded screenshots of my bank balance.

I did also upload 3 screenshots of my bank statements but only the opening and closing balances of each month. Not the whole 3 months of every transaction.

I wrote cover letters on every single document page and wrote as much information as possible.

I specifically wrote on page one of my employment documents specifically that my work was 100% Australian only and I had zero intention to bring that work to the kingdom (I referred to the Thailand as the kingdom of Thailand each time it was mentioned).

I explained that my intention of staying in Thailand was to immerse myself in thailands rich culture, nature and to learn about Buddhist culture whilst travelling and boosting the Thai economy through my remote income.

My 500,000THB had only been in my account 2.5 months. Not 3.

During the interview the staff were very kind. My interviewer was lovely. I was in there for under 10 minutes. He just asked to look at my bank balance on my phone app and also to see my website and asked me 1 or 2 questions about what my business actually did and how I was paid.

I found that the process was EXTREMELY easy (thanks to the knowledge acquired from this group) but quite time consuming. I uploaded so many documents because I just absolutely did not want to risk any chance of rejection and I did not rush.

I used Canva to create documents that were multiple pages long so I could upload around 4-6 screenshots / documents per page and also write notes on things if needed and circle things etc. then exported as a PDF and compressed the files before I uploaded. Because as you will see, there is only the option to upload 1 document per section, but of course we need to upload so many more, so this was the easiest way for me and it worked very well.

Thank you to everyone who helped with my questions during this time I will always appreciate you.

I would definitely recommend Vientiane / Laos for applying for DTV because I believe if there’s any small issues or mistakes in your application you’re going to be able to explain these in the interview. Laos is the ONLY destination that do interviews. This is why I chose it.

Please feel free to ask any questions if you would like some help! I’m happy to pay forward what everyone in the group (except the trolls) did to help me.

Hello

I fill in the tdac, can you help me please

Date of departure : nothing right ?

But now need to fill departure flight number and cannot continue without filling departure flight no.

Thanks for your help 🙏

Has anyone any experience or knowledge about applying for a DTV through one of the Thai consulates in INDIA.

Having had experience dealing with the Embassy in the past the CAN be difficult.

European passport and not Indian just for reference.

When entering Thailand do you need to physically present your DTV on paper or is it enough to enter it on the tdac form?

My husband and I just applied for the online tourist visa. We are coming in 2 weeks for a 1 week vacation. They rejected our visas because the pictures I uploaded weren’t good enough. It was a huge pain in the butt. My question is can we just show up with our documents and get in? We are from the US and paid the $40 each already

Hello all I was in Thailand for two months last year. . I was there again this year for seven weeks. I am going back in February next year for possibly three months. When I'm there I am continuing with dental treatment I had in June July this year.

What is the best way to do this please for three months stay. Do I simply extend for an extra 30 days at my local immigration office in Hua Hin?

🙏🏻

Note to Trolls.

Yes I have googled it. Thanks👍🏻
