Hello people who have applied in Kuala Lumpur for the DTV soft power? I would like to know for the DTV soft power application, if they ask for the same documents that are requested on the official website? Because some say that it is strict. I would like to have feedback from people who have applied for it. Thank you

Hello,

My application for the DTV Soft Power Visa has unfortunately been rejected again – this time in Hanoi, Vietnam. I was not provided with a clear reason for the refusal, so I am unsure what the issue was.

Around two months ago, my application was already rejected in Cambodia because the documents from my previous Muay Thai camp were incomplete and insufficient. Since then, I have enrolled in a new, professional Muay Thai camp in Bangkok, booked a nine-month course, and submitted all the required documents in full.

As I believed everything was correct this time, I am now uncertain about what steps I can take in Hanoi to possibly have my visa approved, or what other options are available to me at this stage.

Could you please advise me on what I should do in this situation?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi Everyone,

My fiancé (American) and I (Filipina) are planning to apply for the DTV Soft Power visa and are hoping to base ourselves in Chiang Mai. We’re currently looking for reputable agencies or schools that offer eligible courses for enrollment.

If you’ve had a good experience with any, we’d be so grateful for your recommendations. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions — thank you in advance!

Los Angeles Thai Consulate DTV soft power approved in less than 2 hours! Seriously could not believe how fast that was…after reading it had taken some 4 weeks or more! Now all set to go Sept 21! Thanks all for the helpful info!

Good day,

I am planning to have my bank statements translated for the DTV Soft Power Visa for Muay Thai. Since these documents need to be officially translated and certified, Google Translate is unfortunately not accepted. Does anyone know where I can have these PDF bank statements translated and certified at a reasonable cost?

Hi I’m currently in KL in the midst of submission of my DTV soft power Muay Thai. I sent extra documentation once already of the first picture and was just sent this second request does anyone know what letter they are referring

Hi, I need some help. Country: Netherlands.

I want to apply for DTV Soft Power/ Medical Care. Have been to Bangkok Hospital yearly for 3 years in a row now.

My "problem" is:

Wait for the 500K stay in my bank account for 3 months before applying in a neighbour country of Thailand? And enter Thailand with a tourist visa for now.

Or: try and apply after 1 month of having the 500K in my bank account . Apply from The Netherlands. And take my chances that hopefully it won't be a probleml having the 500K in my account just for a 1 month.

Any Dutchies have experience with this?

Thanks for any help in advance! 🙏😊

I'm planning on applying for a DTV Soft Power visa through the Los Angeles consulate and had a question about proof of funds. The account I keep $17k+ in that I would provide statements for proof is a high yield online savings account administered by Goldman Sachs. Its not an investment account, its just a savings account and any transfer requests to my checking are done within 24 hours. Has anyone had any issues with that type of account being used as proof of funds.

My checking account statements show ending monthly balances of about $8k-$9k. Would including statements from that and explaining that I keep most cash in the savings and can have access within 24 hours to the savings if the need should arise?

Has anyone here successfully applied for the DTV Soft Power visa through the Thai embassy in London?

I’m considering enrolling with Arun Thai Cooking School, which offers:

* 6-Month Program (8 Classes) – 18,900 THB

* Visa Support Package (Optional) – 18,000 THB

The visa support package includes the official embassy visa fee (13,000–14,000 THB) and claims to cover full application submission and embassy coordination. They also say there’s a money-back guarantee if the visa gets rejected.

I’m wondering if it’s smarter to go directly through them, or if it’s better to just take the course and use a more well-known visa agent like Issa Composs?

Has anyone here gone through either route? Would love to hear real experiences — success stories or warnings welcome.

Hey Guys,

I am going to apply for the DTV Soft Power Visa. Now they are talking about a Sponsorletter as alternative for the 500.000 baht. Does anyone know what the Sponsor letter needs to contain?

Would be aswsome to get some tips.
