Hello ! Anyone who got DTV with soft power courses experienced any issues at airport immigrations during visa runs ? Like the officers question about new courses and how the course is doing because normally the courses are 6 months long. Is it required to enroll new courses after each one expires just to extend my period of stay? i’m going to skip soft power option if it is so. It’s going to be costly.

Ive tried to search for this in the group but cant find the right answers. We'll be living in Samui but will need to do visa runs obviously, what is the cheapest way people are doing this? Needing money to stretch as on a soft power DTV so no money coming in.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

With the visa extension, after 12 months where do you guys choose to boarder cross curious if entry is easier in some places thank others? I really wouldnt want to stay away overnight if possible as I’ll have a cat at home who’s struggles being solo.

Hello everyone. I am German and would like to be in Thailand from December 25 to the end of March 26. For the DTV only Softskill is an option. Are there offers for only 4 months? What if I want to change my location after 2 months? What if I pay for the course but don't go at all? I would also only take care of accommodation and flights once I have the DTV, because otherwise I can't plan it. So the course should also offer a full refund if I don't get the DTV. I would be very grateful for any advice. Are there people here who have received the DTV in Germany (via Berlin) and would share their experiences with me?

Kind regards

If I’m currently in Thailand and need to leave after 6 months being on a DTV.

- Do I have to stay abroad for a certain number of days, or can I leave and return on the same day?

I am currently in Thailand on a visa exemption and planning to apply for the DTV. I'm wondering how urgent it is to apply.

So far this year, I’ve already used a visa exemption and extended it to 90 days. I left the country to the US and came back again on a new visa exemption, and I’ve now been here about 30 days. I'm going to Korea next week. Before all this, I also spent about 1.5 months in Thailand at the end of last year.

Can I return to Thailand one more time on a visa exemption, or is there a high risk that I’ll be denied entry at the border?
