Hi everyone, which visa , should I apply for ? I have a girlfriend in Thailand, no plans to get married as yet , I go to Thailand often , never overstay , usually stay a couple of months , then head back to work. Do this around 3 times a year , never been a problem before , was there last in December til January, heading back again in beginning of April , thanks in advance

Update: My DTV was approved on April 8th!

Thank you so much to everyone in this group for the invaluable advice and support throughout the process. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

P.S. would recommend staying in Australia until you receive a decision.

Hi guys! I submitted my DTV application (soft power Muai Thai) on March 6th in Australia (Canberra) and included my Australian visa as well as my VEVO to indicate I was onshore when I submitted the application. And today they requested me to upload the VEVO again. Does anyone know what this is about?

Just need some advice on what you would do in this situation, I went to do my second non o extension but a couple of things went wrong, the bank letter for one was in AU dollars not Baht but my bank statement was in Baht, not accepted, they wanted 12 months of bank statements didn't have the required 800k amount for that time as i changed banks, thinking i would need only 2 months of the money being in the bank before my extension was done, not accepted, biggest problem now is im out of Thailand for 3 months and now i will have to do another non o visa so i just asking would you do an eVISA online or just get an visa exempt come back and get an agent to do the both the visa & the extension

Hi

I have a “non-immigrant O” extension of stay based on retirement. I have been renewing via an agent every year at a cost of about 17000 Baht. I think the doors are closing on agents depositing and withdrawing 800,000 in the banks. Every month I deposit more than 65000 into Bangkok bank and it shows as “Foreign T/T”.

My question is: Can I use the statements showing those monthly deposits to renew my “visa” myself?

I am looking to apply for the DTV Visa. However I have no interest in Muay Thai, on a number of levels. Instead, I'm seeking to apply on the basis of gym membership. I am in my 60s. I am good at gym and can run 10km or walk 30km. I want my application to be completely genuine. From the research that I have done, I would need:

● acceptance letter from gym and trainer

● six months (preferably a year) course

● 500k THB

● gym certification/ business license

● proof of payment

● current proof of location outside Thailand

● training schedule

Please don't suggest Thai cooking as I don't wish to tarnish the good reputation of Thai cooking. Nor do I really want to do a retirement visa at this stage. I won't do anything that is contrived or nor genuine as this isn't who I am.

More specifically, has anyone else applied for a DTV for "sports training". Sports training is listed as a seperate category from Muay Thai. Thank you in advance for any positive and constructive advice. 🙏

Where and when to apply?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for a DTV for a medical reason (I have a motor disability) and I’ll be requesting a 6-month treatment plan. I meet the financial requirement (500k THB).

I’m currently trying to figure out where and when it’s best to apply from, and I’d love some feedback from people who’ve already done it.

I have a few options:

Applying from France (I’m French and will be there this summer), but in that case the treatments would only start in October.

Applying from Sri Lanka

Or possibly from Laos or Philippines

I’ve seen mixed info saying that some applications made from Europe were approved but with shorter validity (3 years instead of 5), or that the process took quite a long time.

So I’m wondering:

Has anyone successfully applied from France with a medical reason?

It’s better to do it in Laos or the others country in my list ?

Any real experiences or advice would be super helpful 🙏

Thanks!

Question for UK DTV holders , what size is the visa to be laminated?

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience getting the DTV (soft power) and being approved with a sponsorship letter from a member of family? Specifically I will be applying in the UK (my home country) and it would be easier for me to supply this rather than have 500,000 THB in my own bank. Thank you for any answers or advice.

This there a 6 month visa one can get ?
