If you apply for 6 months muy Thai course for soft power DTV from an approved provider will you still get 5 year visa? I’ve read mixed reports. Applying from London embassy if that makes a difference.

What visas do you need now in order to open a Thai bank account. I heard DTV Visa can’t open it?

Hi guys, just looking for some advice which would be highly appreciated. I am on an education visa atm which is due to expire on the 7th of July. I have to go back to Australia as my father is sick. I fly out on May 12th and return on May 25. I was wondering if anyone has applied for a soft power DTV in Australia and how long the process could take? Do you guys think this would be a smooth process.

Thank you

I did my first exit, re-entry with dtv. Just overnight stay in Singapore for the run.

I have dtv e-visa so I printed letter + all my worcation application just in case.

No questions asked but I did show them the printed letter first and said that I had dtv. No other docs were asked no issues.

I had education visa before and did a lot of 1-2 months visits so I got used to be questioned a lot on previous non-dtv visits.

Arrived at Suvarnabhumi.

I’m 19 years old and looking to stay in Thailand long term as an English teacher. I am American native English speaker. I will have my 120 hr tefl certification in three weeks. I’d much rather prefer to tutor but if I needed to teach in a school I could do that. I don’t have 800,000 thb saved but I could borrow it for 24hrs to show them a bank statement. Any ideas?

If I have an Education Visa and I want to do the DTV Visa how is That working? Can I request the dtv visa 1 day after my education Visa expires? Does anyone knows how that works?

Can anyone suggest a few different Muay Thai gyms in Bangkok that provide education visas? (that you have personal experience with) Please and thank you.

Hello ☺️

I’m planning to travel to Koh Tao, Thailand, to get my Dive Master and Scuba Instructor certification, but I couldn’t find anything about a visa specifically for scuba diving courses. Does anyone know if there’s a special visa for that, or should I just go with a tourist visa? I was thinking of staying for two months, then extending for another month. Would that work?

Also, if I hit the 90-day limit, would it be alright to do a border run to a nearby country like Laos or Singapore and then come back to Thailand to continue the course? I want to make sure everything is above board and legal—no funny business!

Anyone with experience, your advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hello! My Muay Thai school has said they are hearing reports of people on an education visa extension not being able to return to Thailand even after obtaining a re-entry permit.

I am looking to leave for a weekend (I wouldn’t miss any classes) and would obtain a reentry permit. Would be my first time doing it on this visa. Is there any issue?

Hello! I am an Australian passport holder and I’m currently on an Ed visa with a Muay Thai school. I am wanting to change to DTV after my 6 months is up. Potentially in Australia as I will go home to visit family. Has anyone had experience with changing from Ed to DTV and is it straightforward? I would be applying under soft power Muay Thai with my same school. Also anyone had experience applying soft power Muay Thai from

Australia? I am also open to using an agent if anyone has a recommendation?
