[HANOI -Soft Power APPROVED]

Hi everyone, just wanna spread the good news that my visa's been approved after 10 working days in Hanoi.

I went the Soft Power route with Arun Thai Cooking School. They were really helpful and provided all the school's document 1 day after the payment. I paid for 6-month course via WISE. I highly recommend the school if you plan to stay in BK and wanna do a cooking course.

My timeline and what I submitted:

28/8 - Application submitted (Pending Document Check)

* 3-month bank statements (May - June - July). I highlighted all important info eg., address, account holder's name, final monthly balance. I had about 350-400k THB for a long time but only had the full amount since July 23.

* Screenshot of my current balance on the day of submission on my bank app + Xe.com exchange rate VND to THB.

* My national ID card + Bank Letter as Proof of Address (as I'm a Vietnamese national)

* Intended date of arrival + Accommodation I just picked a random flight (which comes to 171-day stay) and a hotel I stayed before in BK. Didn't book anything.

29/8 - Pending Approval

15/9 - Approved! (No further document request).

My advice: Like a lot of people on the group already said, just familiarize yourself with the system. Double check all info. Write exactly as in your passport ie., place of issue I just wrote "Cuc Quan Ly Xuat Nhap Canh" in Vietnamse, no translation!

I don't know if I missed any other details on the post please comment if you wanna ask me something specific. Tysm for everyone's support on the group. It helped me have faith though I was a bit hopeless towards the end lol.

Hello there , ☀️

I am planning to go to Bangkok for 2 weeks and afterwards to Phuket.

Does anyone know a place in Bangkok (Muay Thai) where I can request for the DTV visa only for a few classes or 1 month so I can go on to another island.

And also the question is do I need to apply for Bangkok or could I also apply for Phuket and can first enter in Bangkok ?

Thank you in advance guys 💃

Hello, I would like to ask for advice on a longer stay in Thailand, I will be retired in January and I want to enjoy it a little differently, thank you all for your answer, have a nice day.

Dobrý den,chtěla bych poprosit o rady ohledně delšího pobytu v Thajsku,v lednu už budu v důchodu a chci si ho užít trochu jinak,děkuji všem za odpověď,hezký den.

So i appear to have lost my arrival card. My 90 day report is tmrw. IS this a necessity

If I want to apply for a non-O visa based on marriage, do I apply online before leaving Canada, or in person after arrival?

Hello everyone, couple months ago I got my visa in Jakarta. Got it in around 7 working days, I recently saw you need to do location reports every 3 months.

My question is:

Do I need to report every 3 months after I got my visa or the 3 months start counting after the last time you left the country? I got the visa June 26th but left the country July 27th. TM30 report must be done in September or October? Thanks in advance

DTV: Approved

1) Submitted in Philipines at the end of the day on 8/11

2) asked for extra documents on 8/14 (credit card statements showing that i actually paid for the 1 year thai power course)

3) approved around 11 AM 8/18. 5 years.

Ok. I can get my OA visa here in the US. Going to Bangkok mid October staying in Hotel for a couple weeks. MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION. Am I going to encounter any issues banking the 800,000 baht into a Thai bank so I can get my 1st year extension??

Hello, I’m considering getting the Muay Thai dtv

I have the funds in my account

Is it true that they’re gonna ask for my tax even though the Visa is a Muay Thai visa?

And will I be taxed?



Hii everyone,

For the Soft Power DTV visa, you need to leave the country every 6 months, and then you can return and stay for another 6 months. But if I no longer have a membership to train MMA after the first 6 months, my DTV visa will no longer be valid, right? Even though the visa itself is valid for 5 years.

Does anyone know how this works?
