I have a question regarding the visa application process. As the spouse of a Veteran who receives disability benefits, which serve as our primary source of income, I am unsure about the application procedure. Will my husband be able to include our children and me under his visa, or do I need to submit a separate application? If so, should I attach his benefit checks as proof of income?

Also is it true it is better to fill out the application two weeks after you land in Thailand?.. We’re planning our move in October.

Thank you in advance

Me and my partner were quoted 1700$ USD for a 3 month Muay Thai course in Hua Hin for both of us. Has anyone found cheaper in Hua Hin? And if not, how about Bangkok? We will be flying Into Bangkok initially.

Also! Do we need an exit flight booked in advance?

Appreciate any info! Will be applying at the NY consulate.

Hi, Does anyone know Arun Thai Cooking? They say it is valid for DTV with 2 month courses. Thanks.

In my recent experience a DTV isn't a guaranteed reentry into Thailand ( words from an IO)and IOs are asking to see proof that you do what you said you did on your original application. Doubt most people will be asked but i'm certainly going to have a print out of my original application next time. X (land border) 99 % of you toe rags will be fine, i'm just saying have a bit of proof with you as some of the IOs are jobsworths.

New 60 day on arrival visa, arrived in November on 60 day tourist visa and got 30 day extension at Buriram, went to Vietnam for a week, arrived back in Bangkok and they would not let me back in the Kingdom, said I was staying too long, put me in a room with a bunch of Africans, luckily my partner of 5 years was with me and she had to sign a form and after an hour I was allowed in, I thought that I had followed the rules to the letter, I think that in future I will get the 6 month multi entry tourist visa, my girlfriend has a 5 year visitor visa for England and we spend 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in England, just a warning for people here on the 60 day tourist visa I would do a road visa run to Cambodia and avoid the main airport.

Great To see the Extension price is the same as the other Tourist Visa..

1,900b

As many people thought may of been another 10,000b 🤔🫡🤫

🤣😂😂

I got the DTV from Paris in less than 20 days with no additional request! Got a lot of tips from here so I wanted to share:

- I carefully followed the instructions on the Paris embassy website. Each embassy got slightly different requests, just follow them carefully

- Less is more. Don't explain or give more than what they ask, easier for you and for them

Documents shared:

- I'm an auto-entrepreuneur (freelance) I wrote a letter in French + English to explain my activity and shared a link to my website

- Proof of address in France I shared a mobile phone invoice

- Bank statement only showing the correct balance (over 15 000 EUR) no need for 3 months statement etc...

- Proof of registration of my self-employment issued by INSEE in France

- Invoice from one of my client + proof of payment received in my business account

- ​​Screenshot of the “About” page from my website showcasing my activity, including my full name, first name, and photo

It was quick and easy, don't overthink it just provide EXACTLY what they ask at your local embassy!

Can you still work remotely under a soft power visa? I am not planning on applying under workcation just wanted to know if it’s legal to work remotely(not for anyone in Thailand, but for a foreign company) later while still under the soft power visa?

Hi team. I’m a Fifo (Fly in fly out of Australia) working a 2 on 3 off roster. Other than 2 years of Covid I been living in Thailand for over 13years coming in and out on a tourist Visa via Suvarnbhumi AP, never a problem…

I’m keen for a DTV for various reasons including but not limited too, long stays other than my 3 weeks off, drivers license renewal for longer than 12 months, accounts and personnal reasons.

My question is, has anyone FiFo here or know of anyone FiFo been successful with this DTV?

Thanks in advanced 💙

So now the question is..upon getting the dtv while in Thailand how soon do I need to fly out to activate it?
