I made my request 2 times for DTV with a muy Thai school, the first request to Ho Chi Minh was refused (I had returned to Thailand before the answer I did not know...). But I remade my application in Hanoi a few days ago, I have absolutely all the necessary documents and amount, but they still refused....without any explanation... I don't know what to do it's a lot of money for nothing. Do you have any advice?

Hello

I try to apply for a Soft Power Muay Thai Visa.

I have to fill out the lenght of my stay, which I dont know yet for sure. The Gym made me the letter for 1 year, but I wont stay that long. Just about 3-5 months.

Thank you for your help

Have anyone had experience cancelling DTV at embassy in Vientiane, Laos?

Do we need to do to Vientiane or can be done online by email?

My DTV was issued with stamp on my passport(not e-visa).

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the 500,000 THB financial requirement for the DTV. Once the DTV has been approved and issued, is this amount required to:

* remain available at all times during the 5-year validity, and/or

* be shown again at each entry into Thailand?

Or is the 500,000 THB only assessed at the time of application, with no obligation to maintain or re-prove the same balance for future entries (assuming no other red flags)?

For context: after approval, I plan to use a large portion of these funds (around 80%) for personal expenses/investments outside Thailand, meaning that at some point the full 500,000 THB equivalent would no longer be available in my bank account.

I’m not asking about visa-exempt entry, but specifically for valid DTV holders making multiple entries over the 5-year period.

If anyone has first-hand experience or official guidance on this,

I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Has anyone successfully evidenced savings for the DTV visa using a non-traditional bank account?

For example, an easy-access ISA, a Cash ISA, or a Stocks & Shares ISA where the funds are held as uninvested cash.

I’m planning to apply in Hanoi, so experiences specific to that embassy would be especially helpful.

Thank you in advance

Second time arrived to DMK on DTV. Zero questions asked, stamp and bye. Saw zero people being grilled and waited around 20 mins.

Please don't worry too much about what you read on this group especially from new users.

A friend arrived at Suvarnabhumi visa exempt and was (we assume) accidentally stamped in for 60 days. Visitors from his country are only permitted 14 days visa exempt. Any idea what might happen if he follows what's been stamped and stays say a total of 3 weeks?

Is there any restrictions on how many non O visas for retirement you can have from your home country? I am not ready to commit the 800,000 yet to extend, i am not ready to stay longer than 90 days yet, and have had 4 visa exempt this year. Going home for Christmas tomorrow and back early next month for 7 weeks, then gone for 3 weeks and back late March. I cannot find any official that limits how many non O i can have.

Once the DTV is approved, is it effective immediately? I'm wondering if I will be able to go to Thailand before the "arrival date" I picked in the application.

Has anyone with multiple citizenships tried to use different passports for exemption? Or they have a way of tracking it?
