Does anyone know if the Land Transport Office in Chiang Mai still issues 5 year licenses for DTV holders? I am already on my second 2 year driving license.

I read some reports that they do, but I don't want to fly to Chiang Mai for nothing. Trat DLT does not issue 5 year licenses for DTV holders

Completely unrelated to visas or advice ;)

We're #2! (If you live in Bangkok)

Edit: Scroll down, Chiang Mai is on the list too at #28.

Hey, I already used the search function to look for "cooking" schools, and I keep seeing Arun Thai come up, but it appears to be in BKK. Does anyone know of a cooking school that is DTV certifiable in Chiang Mai?

I'm looking into Muay Thai courses of 6 months with either of Rage Fight, EVO360 Muay Thai or Fairtex Training Centre but none of them seem to show any interest in replying once I mention the DTV. Has anyone successfully got information on training hours, costs etc?

Anyone do a DTV extension in Chiang Mai recently? Curious if there's any updates/changes in the process

Hello, I was just granted approval for my dtv visa under soft power Muay Thai via Wildcat gym in Chiang Mai. I applied at the Hanoi embassy on Sunday March 30th and was granted approval 4 working days later. Meaw at Wildcat gym was extremely helpful in getting papers organized for submission and answering any questions I had along the way. I had attended Muay Thai classes at her gym prior to asking to get the visa and it’s a really solid gym with great trainers and fun atmosphere! If anyone is looking at going the Muay Thai route with their dtv visa then Wildcat is a great place to look into!

Hi, what are the documents required for first time 90 day report in Chiang Mai?

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!

Looking for recommendations for extending my DTV.

I’m based in Chiang Mai, from what I’m seeing here it seems as if it’s easier to exit the country and come back rather than extending at immigration.

Has anyone done a same day border run from Chiang Mai?

I do also own my own motorbike so that is an option for me (have a 2 year thai license), just not sure it would be all that comfortable

Any Muay Thai gyms familiar with DTV in Nan?
