Has anyone submitted multiple bank accounts to add up to 500 K? I could transfer it around, but a bit complicated just wondering if anyone showed multiple accounts
I received my DTV visa in November. I received my visa approval in Vientiane, Laos, in November through the Discover Thai Nature seminar program. The visa process was very quick.
I received an interview request five days after applying on the embassy website, and the visa approval email arrived three hours after my interview.
The Discover Thai Nature seminar
They gave me a lot of great advice.
And here are some tips: The interview in Vientiane, Laos, is very simple.
Why did you apply for this seminar? Why did you apply for the DTV visa? A How do you plan to cover your living expenses?
Most of the questions were basic.
One tip: When you first meet your interviewer, smile and greet them with a Thai bow. Your interviewer is a person with a Thai background, and this small gesture shows respect for their culture and will make a good impression early on in the interview.
They'll definitely love it.
For the remaining questions, I recommend practicing answering the questions already posted here on the DTV group and in Chatgpt. I'm grateful to the DTV community for sharing their experiences during my visa preparation. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
I’m currently in Thailand on a DT visa, and my wife is here on a tourist visa. Can I apply for her DT visa on my behalf, or is there another way for her to get a long-term visa? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Hi, so I have been on an education visa for the last 10 months in Thailand. I went to Melasia for a week or so and now I want to come back to Thailand as a tourist. I have a tourist E-Visa already approved however I heard they can still turn you down at the airport especially recently with the crackdowns. Because I have been living in Thailand the last 10 months and only been out for a week and a half will they turn down my tourist visa? I basically want to know if it's worth paying extra money for an agency to take me through immigration (I know they work as my friend has used them alot to bypass things, but they are expensive). Do I pay the extra money to increase my chances or is my online e-visa enough?
Because I left Thailand without a re-entry permit, my education visa is automatically void even though it was meant to last until 20th December.
Hi, I am planning to change schools. I currently hold a Non-B visa, and I understand that I will need to do a border run to obtain a new one. The agency informed me that I cannot apply for a new visa within Thailand even I do border run and must do it in Laos, where the process would take 3–4 weeks.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is this information accurate?
I want to visit Thailand for 3-4 months. I don't have 800,000 baht in the bank! What is the best visa/visa renewal combination for me as a UK citizen? I am happy to leave for a neighbouring country and return.
Hello all, I'm german and I want to apply for a DTV.
Im in thailand right now on a 60 day stamp which runs out 2nd of January. Im planning to leave to another country then to apply for the DTV.
Im a freelancer for many years and work for 2 clients in Germany in the online marketing sector. My company is an american LLC.
The only issue I have is that I only have the 500k THB in my private account for a couple of days now. I had it in my business account (which is run under my company name, not my private name) from the beginning of this month, but not prior to that.
Is there any chance I can still apply for the DTV in January somewhere?
Maybe a silly question but I’m kind of stumped here. How do I prove my current address? I’ve been in SEA for the past 6 months just hopping around on tourist visas. Came home to apply for the DTV. No passport stamp on entry to the UK, I don’t drive, living at home with parents before I left for Asia so no utility bills. I can submit a bank statement but it hardly proves I’m actively in the UK. I have flight info back to the UK and a physical boarding pass, is this sufficient? Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.
