Anyone anyhow succeed to open bank account with DTV ??

Just arrived with the dtv for a 6 month muay Thai course .. when I leave at the 180 days do I have to have a new course to come back in on or will I be able to just reenter as it is a multiple entry visa and also will they ask to see the 500k baht in your bank account ?

I read a comment that people who got an ED visa in the past are often rejected for DTV.

Is this true? For worcation DTV too?

Any reports from Hanoi embassy rejecting people with ED visas from years ago?

I'm a freelance and meet the DTV requirements but I was on ED visa going to Thai language classes during Covid, and had 2 METVs too, last one 2 years ago.

Wondering if it would be a waste of money and time to apply for DTV.

Can someone share their experience and steps they took to get a ED visa for a Muay Thai school (1 year) and what visas the spouse and children got? Thank you for your help. We're just trying to figure out all our options.

4/5 Weeks for DTV application from London embassy?!

Hi guys, after waiting ages, I managed to get through to the Thai embassy in London via phone call.

After asking a few questions about the Visa, I finished by asking how long processing would take expecting her to say a few days or a week or two tops.

But instead, she said it would be about 4-5 weeks! I wasn’t expecting that. I told her I’ve heard of people getting it within a few days online. But her answer didn’t change.

I’m getting really confused by the ED VISA I’ve been emailing a few schools for information etc .. and I was aware of that every 90days you have to go to immigration and extend your Ed visa to keep studying .

But one school wrote back to me and said that you have to leave Thailand after 6 months and apply again !!! This is the first time I’ve heard them say this …

Plan on moving to Thailand under the LTR Visa program; my wife and son will fall under the LTR visa as dependents. So far pretty easy. My son will be attending school within a year after moving, and from what I am being told, he will need an ED Visa, as he will not be allowed to attend school on an LTR visa (doesnt make sense but whatever). I have also read that we have to apply for his ED visa in another country, it cannot be applied for while we are here. Is this in fact true, will we have to fly back to the Philippines make an appointment at the Thai Embassy and apply for an ED visa to allow our son to go to school here? Will he be able to hold both visa's, and if so, can/will the LTR visa be primary? Very contradictory what I am reading online; hoping somebody has gone through this already and can provide some insight.

Hi all…

I was just wondering if anyone knows…

If the DTV visa… under the soft powers ( I think that’s what it’s called ?) … includes studying Thai language ? Or not

I know the ED Visa is for studying Thai but wasn’t sure if the DTV is also ?

And does anyone also know if on the ED visa … wondering if it’s always in person Classes ? Or hypothetically if you wanted to be situated more rural participating in a not for profit volunteer program .. and you want to study Thai at night online will that be acceptable on ED visa .. or if it has to be in person classes.

Just curious if anyone has an personal experience with this before I then potentially try to ask a visa agent etc

Thanks 🙏🏻

Question about 90 days report

I usually applied 90 days report via Online previously with ED visa. Then, I cancelled ED visa and went back to Thailand with DTV a month ago, just 30 days in Thailand obviously.

However, the immigration send email to notify for 90 days report.

Do I need to report now or do I need to wait till 90 days after re-entry?

Hello, everyone. I submitted an application for about two weeks. I don't know why it was rejected.I applied for soft power, and the school sent a message to the Immigration Bureau.Anybody know what's going on?
