DTV Visa Question, help 🙏

Hello everyone! Sorry for the long post but I feel like this is the best place to ask about DTV.

For context, I’m 19 years old with an Italian passport, and I’m planning to apply for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) at the Italian embassy once I turn 20. I know I can’t apply just yet, but I’m trying to gather all the info in advance so I can be fully prepared.

I’ve read that the requirements and strictness can vary a bit depending on the embassy, so I’m hoping someone here who has already obtained the DTV can offer some insights or advice. Right now, I’m considering three possible ways to apply:

1. Muay Thai option

I’ve been practicing Muay Thai at a high level since I was a kid, and I always train when I visit Thailand. I’d consider applying for the DTV through a gym, but here’s my concern: would training for just 3 month at a registered gym be enough to qualify?

I don’t want to be tied to a single place for too long, I’d prefer to train at different gyms throughout my stay. If I apply under this category, will immigration later check if I’m still actively training?

2. Freelancer (Fiverr)

I’ve been freelancing as a video editor on Fiverr since I was 15, with a solid portfolio and plenty of positive reviews. That said, it was always more of a side income rather than a full-time salary. I know the DTV requires 500,000 THB in a bank account, which is not a problem, but I’ve seen mixed info online about whether monthly income is also required. Does anyone know if it’s strictly necessary to show regular income?

3. Remote work / online business

Recently, I’ve started working on my own online business (clothing brand). The website is nearly ready (I’m still finalizing the code), and I have a verified Instagram page set up for it as well. I haven’t made any sales yet, but I’m confident it will start once the site launches. Again, the issue is that I currently don’t have a record of monthly income. Is that a deal-breaker?

So my big question is:

Which of these options seems the most realistic or safest for applying to the DTV, especially at the Italian embassy?

Any personal experiences or tips would be massively appreciated!

Thanks in advance everyone 🙏

Hi all please may I ask some questions: If my kids (Italian passport holders) come back to Thailand, how long can they stay with a Thai E-visa? And what about just entering as a tourist without a visa—how many days can they stay, and can it be extended? If yes, for how long? Thanks in advance 🙏

## DTV approved but with error.

I'm italian holding an italian passport, living in Malta. Just got my DTV approved but in the vista it's stated:

Passport / TD: Malta

I assume it should be Italy.

Nationality is correct though.

Trying to call the embassy but no reply now.

Is this going to be an issue?

Hi everyone! I submitted one week ago a tourist visa request for 90 days (single entry). I’m Italian so I applied online through the royal Thai embassy of Rome.

Yesterday I’ve been asked to reupload proof of accommodation and round trip flight from Italy. I’ve done so and today I received this very vague email, saying my application was cancelled without any explanation.

Anyone had a similar case?

I don’t mind reapplying again but if I don’t know why the application was cancelled in the first place I risk getting rejected once again.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Hello all,

I applied for a normal TR Visa and it was DECLINED with the reason "place of issue in e-visa system not match with passport"... for understanding: I hold an italian passport but living in Germany. Place of issue was Hannover, Germany which I wrote in the e-visa system. This information is NOT visible on the first passport page of an italian passport which you also upload. Therefore Thai embassy said that place of issue would be Italy which is different than what I stated in the e-visa system.

I already wrote them a mail together with the page in my passport showing it was issued from the italian embassy in Hannover, Germany.

What should I do if they not accept this and want me to start a new visa process? My flight goes already next week and honestly spoken in my point of view this is a mistake by the embassy and not me.

Good morning, I have two questions (italian passports)

1. Our daughter is coming to visit for the summer, she has a 60 days tourist visa single entry, she might want to visit neighboring countries can she get a re-entry permit within the validity of the initial stay? If yes can she then still extend the duration of her stay by 30 additional days?

2. Our second daughter will be leaving Thailand to complete her studies back home. She has an extension of stay based on school valid until jan 2025, do we need to cancel it before she leaves or just leave and let it expire (she is 16 years old).

Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone and thanks for the info!! I have read through many of your posts and helped me a lot to understand the METV.

The only thing I couldn't find is the following question.

I am Italian and I reside in Australia, I am not an Australian citizen but I am a resident.

Would i be able to apply the METV from Australia even if my home country is Italy?

Thanks 🙏
