Why do agents charge more than 50,000 baht for DTV applications when the official visa cost is much lower?
Steve *******
Because they are done people who don't have everything that is required to apply yourself. But using an agent also means that they own your visa, so every time you want to do an extension or if you ha e issues with immigration, they will ask for a huge fee.

Do it yourself or ask someone in the group to help instead.

I got mine for workcation, as I work remotely.

Can I rent out my villa on Airbnb while on a DTV visa in Thailand?
Steve *******
Short term rentals without a hotel license is illegal in itself, so either don't worry about the rest or stop breaking the law.

Can I present a bank statement from a non-Thai bank for a Thai visa application?
Steve *******
Most people applying for a DTV don't have a Thai bank account, and it is not a requirement.

Just print out your own bank and make sure to check how many months the embassy your applying at wants to see.
