Hi! I`ll be applying for an education visa at the Immigration Division 1 in Bangkok in person, my university listed that I need to pay the Visa fee - 2000baht. But I can`t find any information on where or how. I will be applying in person, will the officer be able to take the payment by a European debit card or should I bring cash? (Sorry, payment systems have been a nightmare here so far as many places don`t accept foreign cards so I`m a bit worried)

dtv soft power

do soft power applicants often get rejected? if you have the 500,000 baht and a letter from the business you’ll be studying at, is there a high chance you’ll be accepted?

Does anyone know approximately how much the education visa is? For some reason i haven’t seen a price when I’ve been reading about them

My name is Kelly Cusick, I am here on a DTV visa and I am trying to get my son a visa. He has been here on a tourist visa, I was scammed by an agent who I was using to get an education visa for my son. She held his passport for weeks and also scammed us out of 600 dollars, because she held his passport and did not return it my son Brennan has now overstayed his visa. He is 4 years old and enrolled at kings college. I want to know what should our next steps be. We went to immigration on the 29th to try and sort it out they said to come back today and they would do the visa stamp but the officer we went to said they can not do it because the visa needs 15 days left on it. What should I do?? They do not seem to know the answer either.

To those on a DTV visa doing a soft power course: is there a chance they won’t let you use your DTV to get back into Thailand once your course has finished? (My cooking course is only 6 months long). Thanks 🙏

Hi all is it correct that if I sign up for and participate in the appropriate approved course for a minimum of 6 months to be eligible for the DTV visa are there any future obligations to do courses or remote work or is the 5 year visa then in place regardless?

Hi there, has anyone successfully applied for the DTV soft power through Education for Thai Language? i.e. going to a Thai language school to learn Thai. From what I can see online, this is usually only possible through a Educational visa but the Language school I am speaking with are saying DTV is possible through them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

With an initial 90 day O visa, how early can you do the extension? And on the other side, how soon do you need to do the extension? The 90 day O visa expires on 13 October.

Hello everyone,

I applied for the Soft Power program at the Fukuoka Consulate and received an invitation for an online interview. May I ask if there is anything I should prepare in advance? I would also like to know what kind of questions are usually asked during the Soft Power interview.

Hello my name is andre, i have been planning on moving to thailand for the past couple years and I think it's finally time to take the leap. Would I be able to take six months to a year of thai language classes out in town underneath the education visa and then leave the school once i'm completed with the program to then attend school at chulalong? Im a veteran and would like to use my gi bill. In my head, i would be underneath a student visa, but they would just have to change the details underneath my file.When it came for immigration. Or would they look at it like i'm applying for a second student visa... And start putting up a fuss and start scrutinizing and asking questions, regardless, they'll ask questions. Does anybody here know anyone or anything about the possibilities of approval for this visa strategy.
