Hi. I'd like to apply for a DTV visa in Poland. I have an employment contract with a new employer from September 1st. I work 100% remotely. I've spoken with my employer and they can issue me a document authorizing me to work from Thailand. Do you have any experience with this? Will the embassy approve this form of employment for two months?

I'd be grateful for any information and advice.

Hello to all,

I have done already 2 Visa Runs on Thailand on the North Border (by land both), everything was very smooth.

Now I want to make the 3rd by air, going to Malaysia, to stay in Thailand for the Christmas, after that I have other place to go.

🤔 Is it possible to make it (3rd)? By air is something different? Should I apply on Malaysia for a visitor visa or just get back to CNX? (Visa on Arrival?)

*If someone knows an agent who are good with this, please let me know. 🙏

How far in advance should you applied for the retirement visa in your own country I'm coming over in march next year to start sorting my retirement out i will be staying in undon thani thanks for your input

here or there?

I'm 74 and i'm finally planning on retiring soon to Thailand from US.. I have been many times over the last 10 years, so hopefully, I kind of know what I'm getting myself into:) to anyone who's already gone through the visa process.. I'm wondering, did you find it necessary to work with a visa service or did you figure it out on your own, if you used a Visa service that you've liked, recommendations would be welcome .

also, is it better to start the process while I'm still here in the US or should I wait until I'm in Thailand on a tourist visa? Much appreciate input! 🙏

Dear members,

This question has undoubtedly come up before, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

I'm retiring in June next year and want to move to Thailand afterward. I plan to live there for at least nine months a year. My girlfriend is Thai, and we already own a house together, but we're not married.

I'd like to apply for a retirement visa without depositing money in a Thai bank account. I meet the income requirement of 65,000 baht per month with my state pension (AOW) and pension.

My questions are:

When is the best time to apply for the visa?

Should I wait until I officially have my state pension (AOW) and pension documents before applying?

Is it wise to arrange the visa myself, or is it better to have it done through a visa service?

All tips and experiences are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Just received my 12 month extension on the Non O visa application and bank account ccompleted by the Thai Visa Centre and documents returned to me within 7 days. That's what I call service

I've noticed that more and more people are getting rejected for soft powers in vietnam while my facebook page is getting flooded of sponsored pages that for 40-90k they offer a dtv all inclusive. All they claimed you need to do is to go to vietnam and take a pics of your entry stamp. I'm not talking about a single page, but dozens of sponsored pages offering the same. Are those scams?

Hi, just applied for DTV visa in Hanoï.

My passport is french passport issued in Bangkok so maybe they read it wrongly.

I check all informations 5 times before applying everything was good and they cancelled my visa.

The reason ?

Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong country of passport

What should I do ? Should I try to call them ? Because I’m scared applying again and losing 350$ again.

📩 Community Support Request — DTV (Soft Power) Application Rejected

Edit: New update, I was speaking to an agent and he said when they requested for all pages of passport this includes cover to cover of the passport and I missed some pages. 😓 I'm starting a new application now.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice from this community.

I recently applied for the DTV visa (Soft Power – Muay Thai) in Bali, Indonesia, and my application was rejected without any reason provided.

Before the rejection, the consulate asked me to submit every page of my passport, which I did, and then shortly after I received the rejection notice.

A bit of background about my situation:

✅ I’ve been traveling in and out of Thailand for the past 1.5 years (many visa runs, which are clearly visible in my passport)

✅ My source of income is rental property, and I submitted:

• 3 months bank statements showing >500,000 THB

• Tenancy agreement + renewal letter

• Stamp certificate

• Quit rent + assessment tax

✅ I previously overstayed 1 day, but I paid the fine at the border

So far, no explanation was given for the rejection, and I’m trying to understand whether:

1. Anyone has had a similar experience applying in Bali

2. My frequent visa runs could have affected the decision or the 1 day overstay

3. It’s worth reapplying there or trying another consulate/online

I’m currently considering speaking to an agency - Belkin Group Indonesia or MPG Bali Visa Agent for guidance, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has gone through something similar especially those applying through Soft Power / Muay Thai.

Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much 🙏
