If you apply for 6 months muy Thai course for soft power DTV from an approved provider will you still get 5 year visa? I’ve read mixed reports. Applying from London embassy if that makes a difference.

Hello 👋 anyone ever been rejected at the Jakarta embassy and then applied again there and got approved?

I know people can try other embassies, but I'm specifically wondering about Jakarta for a soft power visa

Has anyone applied for a soft power (medical) DTV visa in Tokyo? What was your experience and were you successful? Did you have to visit the embassy or could it be completed all online? I'm currently in Japan on a tourist visa. I have seen some older information stating I require residency, though newer embassy posts seem to just require an entry stamp.

Hi guys, just looking for some advice which would be highly appreciated. I am on an education visa atm which is due to expire on the 7th of July. I have to go back to Australia as my father is sick. I fly out on May 12th and return on May 25. I was wondering if anyone has applied for a soft power DTV in Australia and how long the process could take? Do you guys think this would be a smooth process.

Thank you

Good afternoon all.

Firstly) When applying for soft power visa, is it acceptable to write occupation as unemployed? I have the said amount of savings and every other document. Just apprehensive about the unemployed part.

Secondly) it asks when I will leave Thailand and what is my flight info. I have no plans and no flight as I intend on staying for 6 months and will purchase an exit flight closer to the time. Any help on what to write on this application would be greatly appreciated

Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone,

As many of us who have lived in Thailand for a number of years know, immigration rules can shift without much warning. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the new DTV visa, particularly regarding future enforcement.

How long do you think it will be before immigration officers at airports or land borders start requesting more detailed proof from DTV visa holders—such as:

– Proof of ongoing funds (e.g., showing that the 500,000 THB minimum is still available)

– Evidence that remote workers are still actively working for the company they listed on their application

– For those who applied through the Soft Power route, confirmation that they are actually attending classes or programs (e.g., signed attendance or progress reports)

Do you think this type of enforcement is likely in the near future, or will things stay relatively hands-off?

Received our dependent DTV’s today for myself and 2 kids (Under wife’s Soft Power).

Approved no questions asked in Hanoi.

I would like to thank all the assistance I had from the search button inside this group. I won’t bother going into details of how we able to all get approved first touch, as nobody will read it.

But feel free to ask questions. 

Hello! I am an Australian passport holder and I’m currently on an Ed visa with a Muay Thai school. I am wanting to change to DTV after my 6 months is up. Potentially in Australia as I will go home to visit family. Has anyone had experience with changing from Ed to DTV and is it straightforward? I would be applying under soft power Muay Thai with my same school. Also anyone had experience applying soft power Muay Thai from

Australia? I am also open to using an agent if anyone has a recommendation?

The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

Anyone had any issues coming back in on soft power? Proof of fund checks etc?

Or is it just a straight stamp… non anon accounts only 🤣

🙏🏼
