Has anyone recently tried to extend their DTV visa at the immigration office in Phuket?

I'm assuming the same documents are required as during the initial application.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When you entered Thailand on a DTV did immigration ask for BANK DOCUMENTS and if so how many months did they ask for or did they just want to see a traditional bank statement again?

Did it have to be a recent bank statement or the same one you applied for the Visa with? Do you perpetually have to have 500,000 baht for the entire 5 years untouched for immigration to not give you trouble every time you enter?

To be clear I'm not talking about your embassy requesting traditional bank statements I'm talking about did IMMIGRATION request to see bank statements on your first, second, third entry on DTV into Thailand after you have had your visa accepted by the embassy.

I understand everyones experience will be different depending on the officer but I want to hear your experiences. I'm asking because I want to keep my money in an investment account that generates a higher percentage yield on my cash than chase bank will. If I stay for 5 months I can always move the cash back to chase for a month to have a statement. Unless immigration wants to see 6 months of bank statements every time you enter.

Yesterday I was criticized by a forum member for offering what he considered to be wrong information about the DTV Visa COURSE of Study offered by...the seminar:

[members only]/

It appears that he has deleted his multiple critical remarks and blocked me for giving correct information. Not a problem for me. I wish him success in whatever he is doing.

I said in my reply to another forum member, that I believed that the course sponsor will make a refund of 80% of the course fee if your DTV visa application was DENIED.

I contacted the COURSE SPONSOR and they promptly replied in email to me:

"Hello James,

for acceptance of soft-power activities we always recommend to Check with your local Thai Embassy.

Acceptance of soft-power activity is at the sole discretion of the consul in charge of the Thai Embassy. We have no impact on that decision (We are not a visa agency or associated with one).

We have several countries globally where our participants were succesful.

If someone is interested, it is always advised to just contact us directly, as things are quite dynamic.

E.g. You mentioned Phnom Penh. No issues for many months, suddenly a few participants rejected and last week approved again.

Does it make sense? Not to us 😅

We currently Offer a 80% refund of the seminar price, in case of soft-power rejection.

(Need proof of rejection, that seminar is not Accepted)

Best regards

I also recommend anyone interested in this DTV Visa option... CONTACT THE COURSE SPONSOR TO GET THEIR UPDATED INFO ON WHERE THERE STUDENTS ARE GETTING THE DTV VISA APPLICATION APPROVED.

Hopefully this is helpful information for you ☺️

Looking for a good helpful Muay Thai gym for applying to DTV.

I’m curious how long the process is taking people to get approved for their DTV visa? I’m in America and I’m a self-employed digital nomad. I appreciate your input

If the house I’ve been renting for almost 8 months is in my wife’s name, what documents do I need to submit with my application? The rental agreement is under her name, and the year is nearly over. I’m feeling quite worried after reading some posts about people getting rejected.

Hey! Have a question regarding DTV visa.

How long do you have to be enrolled in a course in Muay Thai or a cooking course

Hi again,

I applied for Single entry Tourist Visa, staying at my girlfriends (not official spouse) house. Vienna Thai Embassy wants "an invitation letter from the accommodation sponsor". Are there any special reqirements for the Invitation letter?

Can it be written by me in English? Printed in TH, signed and returned to me as a picture?

Hi All, just chasing some advice on visa applications. I am an Australian citizen and currently in Australia last year I married my long term Thai partner and returned to Australia due to work but am wanting to return to Thailand to be with my partner and to buy a business. What is the best process for visa do I need to get a 90 day before I return then apply for marriage or business visa? Or can I enter Thailand on a tourist visa and complete all applications in Thailand? I am 52 and will have rented a condo in my name before I return in March. Just looking at what would be the best and easiest option. Thanks in advance for advice. 👍
