Advice please regarding dvt application. Ive enrolled in 6 months muay thia course starting may 1st..question on application asks how long you plan to stay in thialand? .I may have to leave thialand for a few weeks work and carry on with the course when I return. Are they expecting you to stay the first 6 months without leaving or am I overthinking the process. Any advice will be appreciated thankyou.

Hi I’m considering to apply for the DTV visa (soft power) from Rome embassy, I live in Milan and I was born in Italy , I have my house here ecc

There is anybody here who can help me, with suggestions and tell me ur experience !! I would like to use 2 different accounts on my name for the visa for the Muay Thai course ! They ask u more details about how will make money while stay in Thailand or nothing ? Did they ask you to see the funds for at least 3 months?did they ask u return ticket ? thank u so much 💪🏻💪🏻✨

Hello everyone I will be coming back into Bangkok on the 25th after leaving before my 180 days. It’s been a little over a month.

My question is, what documents have they asked others coming back into country on a soft power visa.

I have a soft power muai Thai corse but never renewed it yet.

Hello everyone, when I applied for DTV using soft power, the embassy asked me to add this document. Where can I get it?

Other request documents:The Letter of Acceptance from Muay Thai course must be issued by Ministry of Sport Thailand (Essential)

Is the DTV still easy to obtain in Vietnam with Muay Thai Course, the same as year ago....with just recent bank statement showing 500k baht in account (from a few days before applying for visa only)?

Thinking about changing to a work visa but hopefully can apply for another DTV in the future depending on the situation?

Hello

Unfortunately my application has been rejected in Hanoi

DTV Soft power thai cooking 6month course with House of Taste Bangkok

French passport

Applied 13/08

Pending approval 14/08

Rejected 20/08

No other documents requested simply rejected.

Provided :

4month current account bank statement with more than 500k baht and saving account with more than 4 millions baht

Proof of location in Hanoi (booking, stamp, google maps shot, payment receipt)

School document (DBD, Proof of payment, class example and stuff)

Since they don't provide any explanation on why they reject your application I wonder what's my next best move.

Either I try to apply from HCMC/Jarkata embassy or I maybe change course to Muay Thai, go with an agent ?

Please help. At New Delhi embassy I applied for DTV (soft power) with 6 month Muay Thai course. Had provided all required documents with bank balance comfortably more than required funds for past 6 months. To my surprise today I received a 3 months Non-ed single entry visa. Has anyone faced similar situation? Appreciate your help 🙏

Hello guys !

Anyone has experience about DTV application from Italy?

Just recently move the 500k in a bank account.

Would love to do Muay Thai course Route .

Thanks in advance for any info you may provide 🙏🏻.

Just got my DTV approved. Despite what I imagine was a somewhat unusual situation (applying from Brazil as a US citizen with a Hong Kong permanent address and a Hong Kong joint bank account listing my partner's name alongside mine), I was approved without a request for additional documents. I applied via the soft power route and was approved in 8 working days.

I have no idea whether any of this helped, but here's what I did beyond the minimum requirements to strengthen my application:

* I signed up for a 9-month course with Fitfac Muaythai in Bangkok. They're not the cheapest, but they were very responsive (even over the weekend) and I suspect having the documentation indicate a 9-month course would add credibility and make it easier to extend the DTV in 6 months.

* I applied using bank statements from a joint account that had over twice the minimum balance (i.e. one million THB). I figured if there were any questions about using a joint account, I would be able to argue that I was legally entitled to the minimum funds required for the DTV, even if half of my bank balance were considered to belong to my partner.

* I detailed my recent visa and travel history to Thailand (dates, ports of entry, visa number and work permit number, etc). The purpose of this was to build trust by demonstrating that I've always played by the rules during my time in Thailand.

* I wrote a detailed cover letter explaining all of the above, why I was applying from Brazil, and my interest in the DTV. I tried to anticipate and address any questions. I attached the letter to the course registration documents provided by Fitfac.

* I dressed professionally for the photo and used formal language and formatting in the cover letter. The goal here was to make myself look as bland and predictable as possible.

Hope this helps. Good luck to all who are applying!

Hi guys l am seriously thinking of getting the DTV visa a lot less hassle than normal and has 5 years to run. I will probably do the Muay Thai course in Hua Hin. Has anyone on here done this visa and if so what are the benefits and pitfalls of the DTV. I already know about the bank problem. But don’t know how people transfer money. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
