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.

Hi I am interested in applying for a muay thai DTV soft power visa. I want to find a gym in Pattaya. I found these two gyms but am not sure about their reputation or if they are legitimate in regards to the visa process and sponsorship letter.

Does anyone have any experience with either:

1. Battle Conquer Gym

2. Fairtex Gym

If not do you recommend a muay thai gym in Pattaya.

I appreciate your help and time.

Thank you.
