DTV Visa – Full breakdown (so there’s no confusion):

I applied from the United States through the Los Angeles embassy

Submitted: Feb 15

Approved: Feb 17 → 2 days

Total I paid: 18,500 THB ($540) – ALL IN

This price INCLUDED:

✔ 13,000 THB government visa fee

✔ 3,822 THB agency service fee

✔ 7% VAT (1,178 THB)

So it was not just an agency fee — it covered the visa + their service.

What the agency actually did:

I own a real estate business, so my application had:

• company documents

• income proof

• bank statements

Before submitting anything to the embassy they:

✅ Reviewed all my documents

✅ Told me if something needed fixing

✅ Organized the entire application properly

✅ Double-checked everything for compliance

✅ Submitted it correctly the first time

Because of that there were:

no extra document requests

no delays

no back-and-forth

That’s why the approval was fast.

Can you do it yourself?

Yes — many people do.

I chose an agency because I wanted:

✔ speed

✔ accuracy

✔ zero stress

✔ lower risk with business documents

Different people value different things.

Has anyone applied for a DTV visa through this agency: [[members only]/)? How was the experience?
