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

DiscoverThaiNature Team"

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 ☺️

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.

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. 👍

Question Re : Non O Requirements/Eligibility

- I am a retired Canadian over 50 years of age.

- I have a Thai partner but we are NOT married.

- I currently have a multiple entry Non OA Visa which expires on November 22nd

- I have a Non OA eligible Thai Insurance Company issued insurance policy

- I have 800k Baht on deposit with a Thai Bank.

- I am returning to Thailand on November 12th.

- I would like to apply for an Non O Visa rather than apply for an extension of my OA.

Question :

Am I eligible? Do I qualify?

Is it possible to obtain a NON O Visa once I have returned to Thailand on November 12th before my OA Visa expires on November 22nd?

What steps must I follow?

Is there a current file here listing the contact and appointment reservation procedure for the Thai Consulate in Savannaket, Laos?

Also the requirements that the Consulate requires for the Non O Thai Spouse year long multiple entry visa?

It might be helpful for some who are interested in this.
