Hi everyone,

I spent a few years in Thailand and Vietnam and am booked to return to Thailand in January.

I'm a UK passport holder and I only plan to spend a few weeks in Thailand. I have onwards travel booked and a hotel booked for the first few days (to recover from the journey) 😊

I can't remember how the visa system works as it has been a few years since I entered last, but I'm pretty sure I just go for the visa exemption?

Is this correct please?...and if so, what is the process for this? Is there a form to be filled out before I go, or do they do it once you arrive there?

Also, is there anything else I need before I fly?

Sorry for all the questions, and many thanks in advance for any help given!

Just got my DTV from the Thai embassy in Laos

Thanks to everyone in this group for their guidance and advice....

My process that I followed

Getting a Laos visa (as a UK passport holder) - USD 40 if you do VOA (visa on arrival)

Evisa option only available now as all bookings this month are full up

- 6 months bank statements showing THB 500k minimum (lucky I have a Thai bank account

but you can do with your home country bank statements showing the equivalent)

- Proof of residency (copy of lease agreement etc)

- photocopy of your passport BIO page

- photocopy of the Laos visa page (did not know this at the time..lucky photocopy place across the road)

- paperwork from the Muay Thai (fitfac) in Bangkok showing DTV approval

- proof of payment for the Muay Thai classes (photocopy needed)

- THB10000 in cash for the non refundable embassy charge.

Had appointment on the Thursday morning and picked up the visa on the Monday (13:30)

Now taking a bus (from app 12GO) from Vientiene to udon Thani (around thb200)

Feel free to ask any questions..but thanks again to the members of this group for their valuable contributions ...good luck to those going through the process

Iam Egyptian seeking to dtv visa with muythai or cooking course I don't like to apply by myself if any recommendations for agency and please if you know about what embassy accept Egyptian to apply because some of them refuse like Malaysia bank statement ok from my home country

Note Egyptian allowed for dtv because many Egyptian approved already

A couple LTR questions for those of you who obtained one. How long were you in “Final Reviewing” status before you were approved or rejected? Additionally, once you were in Final Reviewing, did they ask for any additional documents from that point forward? Thank you!

Is there anyone who applied DTV on Monday in HCMC got approved in these days? I applied on 2nd December-Monday evening around 4:00 pm and still stuck in “Pending Approval” stage. I just want to make sure there may be any problem or not. Thank you all. 🙏

Hi, I would appreciate recommendations on a Muay Thai institute in Phuket, from people who have successfully issued a DTV visa through them😎

Hello. I'm asking for advice. I applied for a DTV visa while was in Bulgaria. I arrived in Thailand with tourist visa for 60 days and two weeks later I saw that I was approved for a DTV visa as a business owner. Now I need to leave Thailand and enter on a DTV visa. Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Thank you very much for your help. I'm a little worried.😊

Hey everyone,

I’m considering applying for a Thai Elite Visa (either Bronze or Gold) for a long-term stay in Thailand.

If the visa is approved and everything goes smoothly (including getting the membership card), is there a specific time frame to get the visa affixed after approval? Or can I get the visa affixed at any time as long as the membership is valid?

Thanks in advance!
