Hi Members,

I have A DTV Visa. I intend to stay in Thailand approx 123 days.

I have an elderly mother who is 80 years old and relies on me as her carer.

I understand the spouse Visa is for a wife and Children under 20.

1 - Will they make any exception to allow me to sponsor a Elderly dependant parent if paperwork (Medical - birth certificate etc) is provided to show the dependancy.

2 - If this is not possible, and we apply for her own Soft Power DTV Visa, can anyone recommend a Thai cooking class Close to Pattaya who we can book with, Ideally a company that can provide the relevant paperwork for the Visa Application.

Any help would be appreciated, I just want to decide which is the best route to go down.

Many thanks

Jac

Hello,

Did anyone apply for Soft power DTV visa, but with multiple Muay Thai gyms?

I want to do multiple gyms in different locations, Chiang mai, Bangkok, Koh Samui etc , changing the gym every month

I want to apply for the visa in October-November, London embassy

Thank you 🙏

Hii everyone,

For the Soft Power DTV visa, you need to leave the country every 6 months, and then you can return and stay for another 6 months. But if I no longer have a membership to train MMA after the first 6 months, my DTV visa will no longer be valid, right? Even though the visa itself is valid for 5 years.

Does anyone know how this works?

Hello group ✨

I have a question about the legality of online employment when applying for the Soft power Muay Thai DTV visa. Is it legal to work online for an overseas company in this visa category? From what I’ve read in the group and online, many who applied for soft power are showing income from overseas (and they ask for proof) so it seems ok, but it’s not the workcation option and legally it seems a bit grey.

Is it better to say unemployed or student?

I’m applying from Hanoi this week and a little worried now with posts about rejections…

Thank you 🙏🏼

I am still maintaining 500,000 baht in my bank balance. I want to make a soft power dtv visa. I am looking for a reliable company to help me with this.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the Soft Power DTV visa from the Thailand consulate in Chennai and I had a few questions. I’d really appreciate any help from people who have applied recently:

1. What documents did you submit?

2. How many working days did it take to receive the visa?

3. For the bank statement requirement, do they expect to see personal savings history, or is it okay as long as the account reflects the required balance at the time of submission?

Thanks so much in advance for any guidance or tips!

Anyone with recent experience applying through New York? I‘m going on 2 weeks for my soft power DTV. The status still says checking documents. I called after a week, it was last week Wednesday and they told me it would be done by the end of the week. Status still the same.

Soft Power DTV Visa Rejection – Need Help!

Hey everyone, I’m in Ho Chi Minh and recently applied for the Soft Power DTV visa. I submitted everything—500K+ THB in my account, a 3-month condo reservation, and all required docs.

Still, I got rejected two days ago. They asked for income proof, but here’s the issue:

🔹 I’m a stock trader making ~$1,500/month.

🔹 I closed all my old accounts, so I have no past records.

🔹 My country doesn’t tax stock profits, so I can’t provide tax documents.

I’m worried this could lead to a final rejection. Anyone faced this before? Any advice?

Thanks, friends! 🙏
