Which soft power will refund you if you get rejected? It doesn't seem okay to me not to refund the course if you get rejected.

Good morning. I am looking to apply for the DTV from the UK using soft power either culinary or muy Thai. I’ve read on here that it’s better to apply sooner rather than later even though I don’t intend to come out until later this year. I am coming for a short holiday next month though so should I apply for DTV in time for that or come out on a 60 day tourist visa? I Have everything I need for the DTV apart from the course. I’m just not sure how the course part works if I don’t plan to start it until October. I know that the visa is 5 years and there is no requirement to arrive by any particular time but since I have to submit course documents would the embassy question why I am applying now for a course that starts later this year? Plus also coming out next month for a 2 week stay?

Hi everyone,

So I have my DTV and have recently done my 90 day reporting at Cheung watthana.

My question is this

I have joined fitfac for the courses which expire in 9months...has anyone else done the same? And have they been told they need to reregister for more Muay Thai courses for the visa requirements ?

I asked fitfac and didn't really get an answer...maybe they don't know themselves

Thanks in advance

Approved! In Hanoi

Nice little tool/ life hack to help with you hunt for a DTV soft power:

Facebook/Meta has a searchable Library of ALL advertisements currently active on the platform. by searching "DTV Visa" you can find any business currently running ads targeting people looking for DTV applicable courses.

This could be useful for finding courses you may have not been aware of before and finding courses with low advertisement budgets that may have not otherwise have reached you.

Tips:

-Set the country to Thailand

-Set your preffered language

-play around with different keywords e.g. Citys, Interests, Etc

KEEP IN MIND:

-ANYONE can make a business account and run ads on Facebook

-If it looks sketchy or too good to be true, it is.

-Do your research to verify businesses are legitimate and have a physical presence in Thailand.

Feel free to use this post to comment on your findings, concerns, and questions, or give any more tips.

Has anyone applied for Muay Thai softpower DTV in Paris embassy?

How many months of Muay Thai courses are required? 1 month enough?

Hi group :) Regarding DTV Soft-Activities Embassy Vienna: I hope there are people here who have applied for the DTV via eVisa from Austria through the Vienna Embassy and can help me. This embassy seems to be very strict. Muay Thai courses are only accepted from 4 months (less than 4 months are rejected), no seminars are accepted that serve to get to know Thai culture (but other embassies have approved them). Can anyone recommend a reliable and inexpensive Muay Thai boxing school or a cooking course in Chon Buri that has been approved? In other districts too, if they are cheaper. I just thought that it wouldn't hurt to actually go to Thai boxing (😄) every now and then :) Thank you very much for your help :)

Hello - DTV walk in appointment in Laos coming up and

I'm looking for feedback. For what? For some draft-answers for the application form. There are some points where I struggle a bit.

Recently I paid for a certified 8 month Muay Thai course. And I have proof of last 3 months 500k in bank account.

It would be so nice if I could get some insights/ feedback to my draft:

--Current Occupation / ອາຊີບປະຈơບັນ (specify position and employer)

My struggle: Currently nothing.. I live off of savings and also my father gave me some resources good for the next few month, one off.

What I actually do is: Preparing to start a small remote business/ freelancer structure with no dealings with Thailand. Customers will be businesses from UK/ Ireland/ Germany mostly.

Any advice here about how to best answer that question?! (my main concern). I am an honest guy that loves Thailand seriously - and I also will of course do the soft power activity - Muay Thai. So how can I deal with that question?

--TEL / EMAIL

Thai TEL OK - or better a EU/ foreign phone number?

--Proposed Address in Thailand

I rent a condo in BKK until March 2025. I will write this address..Do I need to attach proof?

--Date of Arrival in Thailand

22th November - is this too soon?!

--Traveling by

Don't know yet. Laos with bus to Udom and then plane probably.

What would you write here?

--Duration of Stay in Thailand

I don't know. I plan to travel to Malaysia in 2 - 3 months for 2-3 weeks.. OR: can I write sth. like: "Duration of stay as per DTV visa requirements, if DTV visa granted (less than 180 days per [each] entry)" ? :)

What did you guys write here?

--Name and Contact of Guarantor in Thailand

Can this be blank? - If not I would write sb. from the Muay Thai school. Even though of course it's not a guarantor. I'd assume this is a question for another type of Visa.

--Name and Contact of Guarantor in Lao PDR

Can this be blank? - If not I would write name of hostel owner.

Thanks - your input/ feedback is highly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

Edit Post

Finally got a response from the Thai Embassy in Vientiane. Confirmed that they required 3 months of bank statement and each month is required to be over 500K

***

I'm going to apply for a DTV visa under Soft Power doing the Muay Thai courses at Thai Embassy in Vientiane

Looking for advices on the financial evidence since it is not clear on their website. I already emailed to the embassy and contacted them on social media but haven't received any responses

1. How many months of the bank statements should be submitted? 3 months or 6 months?

2. Does it require to show the minimum of 500,000 THB at the ending balance of every months or the last ending balance with amount of 500,000++ THB is acceptable?

Thank you so much!
