Hey all I live in my friend's condo and I have to go to Renew my visa in 2 days.

he does not know how to print the TM30 form. He filled it when I checked in but it seems like the system is not letting him download.

it says that "check in date can only be selected unto past 7 days". Anyone know about this?

First of all, thank you to everyone who is helping.

I would like to clarify the bank balance requirement for the DTV visa application. Do I need to show that during the past three to six months I consistently maintained a balance of over 500,000 THB?

At the moment I have a higher amount in my current account, but in previous months the balance was lower because I invest my funds and do not keep large amounts in the bank on a regular basis.

Could this situation affect the approval of my application?

Hi folks, could I get a DTV if I book some dental work to be done in Thailand? Is relatively easy, simple?

I'm in and from the U.K.

Thankyou in advance for any helpful replys

Hello, I am exploring the idea of getting the DTV visa via Muay Thai training. Looking for gyms in Bangkok, since that is where I plan on living. Anyone have any experience that they can share pros and cons? Any recommendations on legit approved gyms that work with DTV visa applications?

is it necessary to book 2 weeks in Hanoi applying for the DTV or can I just book 10 days accommodation?

(Does it matter for the application?)

I’m working on my application but stuck on the document part as it asks for multiple documents but only allows one file each. If anyone could help me I really appreciate it

Good morning everyone. I'm returning to Thailand in March and need your help. I'm looking for an agency that handles visas in Thailand. I'd like to apply for a DTV visa (6 months for 5 years), and from what I've heard, there's an agency in Pattaya that can help. I'd like the name and address of an agency that handles this type of visa. Does anyone have any information? Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Is the flight information on the DTV visa completely arbitrary?
