QUESTION ABOUT THE DTV :

Do I strictly have to apply for it at the Thai Embassy of my home country or can I also do that at an Embassy in one of the surrounding countries near to Thailand.

I m asking because I m living in Thailand for 5 years now , until now with a workpermit / visa , working for a Thai company.

Now I want to switch, working for a Foreign company online

Thanks for all helpful information in advance 🙏

Hi Guys

Can we get Thai TIN number on DTV if we stay more than 180 days and what's the process for the same ?

Information for educational visa in thailand.

There are two types one is for university study and the one I am giving information on is "Soft Power Education" this includes thai boxing language and such

There is two things to this. The soft power education visa is permission from the Educational Ministry to learn for one year.

What you get from immigration is a 3 month stamp that you have to extend with fee 1900 baht ( 50 USD ) also ontop of this you still have to check in every 90 days which can be done on an app on your phone or in-person at immigration office.

If you miss extension or have to leave for any reason and you mis the time frame to extend you have to start back over and the educational visa is 20,000 baht .. ( 500 )

I just did this today and was given full explanation by the school doing my visa.

Hope this helps someone else 🙏 and I was explained that bank accounts are not given for these soft power education or hard to get just FYI

Hello, are payslips a mandatory requirement for the DTV Visa?

I am currently unemployed as I'm in the process of launching my own remote business so a regular income statement is not possible.

However, I have more than the equivalent of 500,000 baht in foreign currency in a bank account from my home country (Australia).

If anyone has any prior experience or advice that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Did my first 180 day bounce & return with my DTV! Absolutely effortless. Showed the agent my passport, said, “DTV,” included a printout of my visa, and I was stamped for another 180 days with no issues or discussion!

Side note: for anyone looking for a great weekend trip, I chose Singapore and can recommend it warmly. What a wonderful experience! Just the airport alone is worth the trip! I know Singapore has a reputation for being expensive, but the flight was dirt cheap, it’s only two hours, I got a very respectable room for not that much money, and I ate some delicious food at the Hawker’s markets without breaking the bank! There is also a ton to see for absolutely free, like the gardens by the bay, which cost no money!

I don’t think it’s mentioned enough as a great place for a border bounce, and while certainly not the cheapest option, it wasn’t that bad on my wallet, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Recommended!

Hello! Couple of quick questions for the DTV as a little unclear to me...

- Do the proof of funds (500,000THB) need to remain available and in your bank account at all times? If so, when do they check this?

- I got my DTV in Nov 2024. Do I need to renew or repay visa fee at any point? I do leave the country every 90 days for holidays or similar.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there! If you’re in HCMC, Vietnam solo waiting for your DTV visa before heading back to Thailand and feel like hanging out, drop a comment and I’ll DM you. Would be great to meet up for coffee or dinner—just a small group, maybe 3–4 people. Cheers!

Hello ,

I am so discouraged. I was approved with my DTV on 4/22

I applied for my children DTV on 4/23

On 5/5 - I received an email for additional document request.

My original application in which my DTV was approved with Washington DC embassy. (They required only one bank statement .

Now they are request “3 months” of bankstatments for my children DTV along with other request. I want to know does anyone know if all 3 months have to show over 16k?

Hi guys

I have a DTV and my wife has a DTV ,we are planning to enter Thailand next month. Is it necessary to put my 1 year old son on a DTV now or would it be fine if I only put him on the DTV after the first 180 days? I have seen a few posts saying that kids under the age of 3 do not need a visa if they are accompanied by their parents?

Hello everyone, when applying for the DTV visa, the 500,000 baht must be in a personal account, but can the $2,000 monthly income be justified from my business account?
