Anyone recommend a Visa Agent or is it just that simple to go fly to a neighbouring country and provide the relevant documents?

Hello everyone🙏

Hoping for some advice or help - I’m looking at getting the DTV to stay in Thailand long term without any bs boarder runs etc - would like to do it legit

I’m a bit unsure on the best/correct process (for myself) and like I said would like to get it/apply for it the correct way

I was thinking via Muay Thai as would like to learn the sport - but ultimately it doesn’t matter if via that method or not (will still train regardless)

Just wondering would be willing to talk me through the process/help me deciding which method will be best for me?

Let me know, any help is appreciated 🙏

Hello

i want to know how to apply China Visit Visa with DTV visa in BKK. Any suggestions?

Good day all,

Can I apply for DTV visa if I have thai wife and children living in Thailand ? I working abroad 3 month on/off. Marriage visa is taking time and hard to renew when I am at work when it's suppose to be renewed.

Have anyone had experience cancelling DTV at embassy in Vientiane, Laos?

Do we need to do to Vientiane or can be done online by email?

My DTV was issued with stamp on my passport(not e-visa).

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the 500,000 THB financial requirement for the DTV. Once the DTV has been approved and issued, is this amount required to:

* remain available at all times during the 5-year validity, and/or

* be shown again at each entry into Thailand?

Or is the 500,000 THB only assessed at the time of application, with no obligation to maintain or re-prove the same balance for future entries (assuming no other red flags)?

For context: after approval, I plan to use a large portion of these funds (around 80%) for personal expenses/investments outside Thailand, meaning that at some point the full 500,000 THB equivalent would no longer be available in my bank account.

I’m not asking about visa-exempt entry, but specifically for valid DTV holders making multiple entries over the 5-year period.

If anyone has first-hand experience or official guidance on this,

I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I heard immigration has been questioning DTV upon border run arrival. Does anybody have any advice? I am wondering if I should enter through Bangkok or through Chiang Mai. I live in Chiang Mai, but I heard that Bangkok may be better for entering.

Appreciate any info 🙏

Hi everyone,

Quick question regarding the DTV dependent visa:

If my DTV application gets approved, can I apply immediately for my spouse and children as dependents before entering Thailand, or do I need to enter Thailand first before submitting their applications?

Also, does applying for dependents right after my DTV approval carry any risk of affecting or canceling my own DTV approval?

Thanks in advance for any clarification 🙏

My DTV Visa was issued online through the Los Angeles, CA Royal Thai Embassy.

Do I have show anything more upon arrival in BKK?
