Can anyone recommend a reliable and legally registered agency in Chiang Mai that can help with obtaining the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa)?

I’d prefer to go through an experienced agency with good reviews to make sure the process is smooth.

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏

Hello All. Thank you for all the information here!

It’s a pity I only discovered this group after submitting my application...

I’ve recently submitted my documents for the Destination Thailand Visa application. The consulate requested additional materials twice, and I’ve now provided everything they asked for.

I’m an artist and have organized exhibitions of my work internationally. In my application, I included a portfolio shwoing my past exhibitions, awards, and media coverage. In my self-introduction letter, I also mentioned that "*I* *hope to organize exhibitions in Thailand and engage with the local art community*."

I’m now wondering: could this be interpreted as seeking employment or commercial activity in Thailand, and potentially affect my application outcome?

I’d be grateful for any insights or experiences you might be willing to share.

P.S. I just understood from this community that it should be a letter of intent and not a self introduction letter ... I wish I discovered this group earlier!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at the Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

Does anyone know if they accept sponsorship for the financial requirement?

Specifically, can I use my father’s bank statement together with a sponsorship letter and proof of relationship, instead of my own bank statement?

If you’ve done this or know someone who has, please share your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing my application for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and wanted to ask for some advice regarding the financial proof.

I have a bank statement from Revolut covering the period from March 1, 2025 to August 9, 2025 with a current balance of €15,045.15 (well above the required 500,000 THB). The statement clearly shows my name, account details, and the balance history.

Question:

Will this bank statement be sufficient for the DTV application, or do I also need an official bank letter / balance confirmation from Revolut in English?

Thanks in advance for your help and experiences!

Has anyone been able to receive a DTV through application in a thai massage school?

We just completed our first 90-day reporting under the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at the Blue Tree Immigration Office in Phuket. The whole process took less than 5 minutes for both of us!

Received an acknowledgement receipt attached in the passport.

Here are a few useful things we discovered:

1️⃣ Documents Required:

They only checked our TM47 form, TM30 slip, and passport with the latest entry stamp. Super simple.

2️⃣ Child Verification Needed:

Our daughter was at school during the visit, but the officer insisted she must be present for verification. So we’ll need to make another trip with her during school hours.

3️⃣ Office Closure:

Heads up! The Blue Tree immigration office will be closed on Monday, July 28th (likely for a holiday).

4️⃣ DTV Extension:

If you’re planning to extend your Digital Nomad Visa, it can only be done at the main Immigration Office in Phuket Town – not at Blue Tree.

5️⃣ In-Person Visit Required:

Each applicant must be present in person for 90-day reporting or visa-related services – no exceptions.

We might do our next 90 days reporting in October or after 6 months. Depending on how our DTV extension goes.

Hi everyone!

Has anyone here applied for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) using a Muay Thai course as supporting documentation?

I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience, especially:

• How long the course needed to be (1 week, 1 month, 6 months?)

• How many classes per week were required

• And if you had any issues with immigration when submitting documents from the gym

Any advice or personal experience would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks in advance!

I'm a sole proprietor of my LLC and all my income goes into a business bank account under the company name. I understand that for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), they usually want to see personal bank statements, not business accounts — even if I'm the sole owner and signatory.

If I open a Wise personal account, transfer the funds from my business account to it, and keep it there, can that be used as proof of funds for the DTV application?

Also:

* How long does the money need to sit in the new personal account before it's considered valid proof?

* Will the lack of 3–6 months of personal statement history be a problem if I include a letter explaining the transfer and that I'm a sole proprietor?

I am looking to come to Thailand (Hua Hin) for 2-3 months on a US passport to see if I then want to return to live. I will rent a condo or Villa. My question is I am a consultant so work from home but do travel fairly often to visit clients and do seminars. So, during my 2-3 month stay I would likely travel in and out of Thailand 4-5 times (Hong Kong, Dubai, Vietnam, etc.). Is this going to cause me potential problems with immigration. Thoughts and recommendations appreciated.

Need a quick DTV reality-check—anyone done this?

• American, living in Bangkok on a single-entry ED visa (expires 23 July).

• Flying to Ho Chi Minh City on 10 July.

• Plan: apply online for the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) while in Vietnam.

• Funds: 500 k THB sitting in my Thai account for 6-plus months.

• Run a legit U.S. real-estate business (remote work).

Key question:

If I exit Thailand on 10 July (before the ED visa expires) and let that visa die, can I still file for the DTV from Vietnam without any headaches when I re-enter Thailand? Or will immigration scream “problem” because my old ED visa auto-expired?

Thanks for any first-hand experience or tips!
