Hi all

After browsing the UK Thai Embassy website it seems a METV is the visa I’m looking for.

However I couldn’t seem to see the fee amount for this visa.

If anyone knows the price I’d be really grateful 🙏🏼

Oh and am I correct in thinking I’ll have to leave and return into Thailand after 60 days? Or is it 90 days? And then granted another 60/90 days on my return?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.

Hi I just wanted to share my experience obtaining the DTV. I applied from Hanoi, Vietnam on 03/21 and used the soft power option, using a cooking school. I submitted the following documents:

- My Vietnam airbnb receipt

- Confirmation letter from the thai cooking school

- Proof of accommodation and flight to Thailand

- A PDF containing 6 months worth of bank statements combined with my offer letter from my US employer. Youre not required to submit an offer letter and i think they only wanted 3 months of bank statements but i wanted to demonstrate that i had sufficient income and that i do not have a thai employer. My boss is also fully aware that im in thailand and supports it

I was asked on 03/24 to submit my Vietnam entry stamp and business registration letter from the cooking school. My status immediately changed to pending approval

Officially approved on sunday 03/31.

When I arrived at BKK airport, all I did was show my DTV visa on my phone and I got my stamp. No questions asked.

The whole process was smooth and straightforward.

So, please tell me is the 60/30 days free entry over now?

Hi, need a quick answer please, not been to Thailand for over a decade, can you please tell me how long you get in Thailand without a visa from Uk !? Answer I'm finding on Google are conflicting !

Please excuse me if this question is considered stupid.

I am an American 60yo. I would like to come to Thailand 2x per year for no more than 90 days each time. Is this possible? I do not have the 800k for a non O visa, and really only want to stay for 90 days at a time. Thanks in advance.

Later this month am visiting Laos from Northern Thailand for 2 nights as advised so I can return to Thailandas my family visa expires. Can someone please tell me how many days you get 30 or 60 days - believe changed to 60 a few months back but want to check. Thank you

How's it possible to get a soft option DTV that lasts 5 years???

That's a lot of cooking and music festivals lol

I'm skint, but I have a Thai girl who owns her own condo and has a bank account. What can I get away with?

Hi everyone!

I might have a rather stupid question but this visa is still new and confusing so please forgive my ignorance.

DTV visa is a multiple entry visa and is given for 5 years. Every time you enter you get 180 days.

Does it mean 2x180 entries a year x 5 years or like I am allowed to travel and have, say, 3-4 entries a year without it affecting the overall 5 years timeline?

How long can I stay on tourist visa in Thailand? How many entries can I do?

Is possible to be there 180 days all together?

Thank you in advance
