I’ve recently been granted my DTV visa — is there a specific deadline by which I need to enter Thailand for the first time after it’s issued?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi, i am planning to apply in Manila. Besides hotel and flight infom do you need to prepare formal documents beside those that requested (3 month bank statement, soft power application)? Others like passport, photo are standard. Has anyone submit their thabian baan for address in Bangkok? What other things need to submit? Does Manila has high approval rate?

Has anyone submitted application after only having the 500k THB IN ACCOUT FOR 24 hours ?

I meet all other requirements

Can someone please recommend Muay Thai schools that provide documents for DTV? What price can I expect? Is it required to have a 6-month training course? Thank you!

Anyone went to Bangkok to get their LTR stamped after having received the qualification endorsement from BOI? If so, I would like to know how long did it take you after you submitted your TDAC and passport copies to get the visa appointment?

Respect post please

So I will try to do 1 year Non B Visa E-Extension soon. May I ask if what is the “Letter of confirmation and request for a temporary stay” document could be? What could be the additional documents I should upload?

And are there any reviews and recommendations about visa extension whether I should do it online or in immigration office?

Thanks!

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 ☺️
