Hello. I am thinking of applying dtv visa through Soft power (Muay Thai) . I have been gathering some information and so far where I see most people applying at is Vietnam, Jakarta and Laos. I have gotten most recommendations to Laos due to it being quickest process but apparently you can’t do e visa there.

So my question is where do you guys think is fastest to get dtv visa and easiest embassy to deal with ?

I am from Norway and currently staying at Bangkok .

I’m in. Thanks for your help. Arrived at Bkk and was stamped in no problem, even though I put the wrong arrival dated on my, digital arrival card. Just got scolded a little. I was informed that the digital arrival card is required every time you return.

Still a little confusion in a few areas. We all know about the banking. But had a confusing conversation with a True mobile counter help. She informed me there was no E-sim available for True on a tourist visa longer than 30 days. You had to get a new number every 30 days. Anyone have any information regarding esims and the DTV?

Is There a Thai immigration app you can apply for the TM-6 entry and exit stamp or just a link? What happens if you cannot do it 3 days in advance ,only 1 day in advance because of my work schedule offshore ?

Hi everybody,

I am coming to Chiang Mai soon and I will attend a Thai Lanuage School for an ED visa. I've read it's impossible to start a business whilst on said ED visa. Is that true, or can a visa agent perhaps help with some legal loopholes I am unaware of? Thanks in advance!

Happy New Year!

Have to get a new extension next month for Non-O (over 50). First time doing it in Bangkok. Does Chaengwattana require the bank issued transaction record or does the updated bank book and copy showing 12 months of transactions suffice (along with the bank letter)?

I just moved to Bangkok from Kanchanaburi where I have lived 17 years. I used to my 90 days at the local immigration but they said before I moved that I could do it online, is that also possible if you just move to a different province? Or do I have to report in person the 1st time? Hope someone knows, thanks for your help!
