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.

I applied for my DTV through an agency. After it was approved, I entered the country by bus. At immigration, the officer was about to give me only 60 days, even though I had received a PDF confirmation from the agency. After I showed the officer the PDF, I was finally granted the DTV. How is it possible that it wasn’t showing up in the system?

Did anyone change a DTV to a Non-B/Work Permit Within Thailand and what was the cost and how complicated the process?! Thanks

How many of you guys here have gotten approved using Wise?

I’ve seen mixed feedback on certain countries/embassies approving/denying. I’ve only got Wise that has the balance.

Thanks! I’m applying in a week so I’m pretty nervous 😬

I issued a tracking visa for my kids under my DTV and their passports lost, what should I do?

..We are outside Thailand

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?

I want to apply for DTV in Vietnam. I am basically eligible for both, workation and Myai Thai camp (soft power). Now I am choosing an option to go with. I am more inclining towards Myai Thai (since I want to attend classes anyway). Are there any disadvantages with soft power path compared to workation? Based on available history, which of them (soft power or workation) is easier when re-entering (after 6 month)? Do they ask a re-confirmation that you are still attending the Myai Thai classes when you are re-entering after 6 month (has it ever happened to anyone)? Also any potential differences with handling taxes (for non-Thai income)? Which of them has more chances (in general) for paying no taxes in Thai?

Experience living in Thailand on METV

Hi guys, I currently live In Thailand on DTV but my partner is on metv until he saves up enough money for the dtv. Has anyone had any successful experience renewing your METV after it expires or will the embassy see it as a no-go? Will immigration cause issues for such case?

Hi everyone 👋

I currently have a DTV and want to upgrade to the TrueMoney Advanced Plan. Someone here previously suggested selecting Non-O and then choosing “Freelancer” as the employer option to complete the upgrade.

However, I’m only seeing these options:

1. OWIC (Smart/Labour Card)

2. Passport with Non-Immigrant Visa (Workers)

3. Work Permit Card

4. Work Permit Book

5. Passport with Non-Immigrant Visa (Non-workers)

6. Passport with Student Visa

7. Non-Thai ID Card

8. Thai Driving License

9. Thai House Registration

Could anyone please advise which one to choose or how to proceed from here? 🙏

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 🙏
