Hi everyone! 👋

I'm looking to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) soon, and I'm planning to apply in the Philippines.

Has anyone in this group successfully completed their DTV application in Manila recently?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a reliable visa agent to help me apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) from Vietnam.

I already have all my personal documents ready, plus my employer and company documents.

I just need support with the application process and a clear quote for your service fee and the official visa cost.

Please DM me if you can assist. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and I have two quick questions:

• For the bank statement, is a PDF from the banking app acceptable or do I need bank-stamped statements?

• If I registered a freelance company less than a month ago, is it acceptable?

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I urgently need your help. Has anyone here ever applied for a DTV (Domestic Tourist Visa) 180 Day for Thailand in Laos that also includes a spouse? We're currently living in Hua Hin on tourist visas but want to stay longer with our children. If so, what documents do we need? My wife and I are married in Germany. We're unsure which documents we need to have certified. Thank you so much, Katrin

Hi! I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), Soft Power – Muay Thai, while living in Pattaya. Could anyone who has actually applied via Pattaya gyms share your experience?

• Which gyms did you use? (name + location + manager contact)

• What package length worked for the visa: 6 or 9 months? Is 12 months worth it?

• Price: I’m seeing around 35–40k THB for 6–9 months — does that match your experience?

• Did the gym provide a full visa pack: Acceptance letter on letterhead + DBD (company registration) + SAT/Office of the Boxing Sport certificate + invoice? Will they email the letter directly to the consulate if requested?

• After approval, did they require attendance, or was enrollment/payment enough in practice?

• Any refusals/refunds? What were the refund terms?

• Which consulate did you use (HCMC, Vietnam or elsewhere), and did everything go smoothly?

• How long is the acceptance letter valid (can you defer the start if timing shifts)?

Would really appreciate short reports including: submission/approval dates, gym, price, package length, consulate, and whether you attended classes. Thanks!

DTV Application – “Pending Approval” stage: how close am I to approval?

Hi everyone, I’m posting anonymously just to get some reassurance and to help anyone else going through the same process.

I applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through the London Embassy. A few days after submitting, I was asked to provide extra documents including a clearer passport scan, proof of funds showing at least £11,000, my company registration confirming my name and position, and a letter confirming that I’ll be working remotely for my UK business and not doing any work in Thailand.

I’ve now submitted everything they asked for, including a signed client letter confirming my remote work setup and UK income, plus bank proof showing well over the required amount.

Today my online status has changed from “Pending Document Check” to “Processing – Pending Approval.”

Does anyone know if that means I’m basically through and just waiting for it to be issued, or is there still a chance it could be rejected at this stage?

Thanks in advance — this group has been a huge help throughout the DTV process.

Does anyone have a trusted agency recommendation for applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)? My son is planning to apply through Vietnam under the Muay Thai category.

Hi, I’m Iranian. I came to Bangkok one month ago on a tourist visa to look for a way to get a longer-term visa.

Someone suggested the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) to me.

I know I have to leave Thailand to apply, but as an Iranian, which country should I go to — Laos, Vietnam, China, or somewhere else?

How long does the whole process take?

While the application is being processed, can I return to Iran, or do I have to stay in the country where I submit the application?

Also, is a personal interview required, or can everything be done online?

How much does the visa process cost in total?

And finally — is Bangkok a good place to live for now, considering that I don’t have a job yet and I just want to apply for a visa so I can later find work there?

Hey everyone 🙂

I’m currently preparing to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) from Switzerland, and I’m a bit unsure about one thing:

Do I already need to show a rental contract in Thailand, or is a hotel/accommodation booking (for the first few weeks) enough for the application?

Has anyone here applied from Switzerland and can share what documents were accepted?

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏
