@Daniel ******

can you show me where it says that? Soft power activities according to the announcement and what people have been approved for include what I screenshotted below.

Education visas are for studying, DTV visas are for cultural and medical activities and the remote working option.

Yes, I was on ED and now DTV. There are several posts about that here in the group you can use the search feature. the DTV is not for studying but not sure it would matter but the type of visa you are on should reflect your purpose for being in Thailand. I think that's the best answer I can give.

this question is asked every single day. Please use the search function in the group.

sounds like you didn’t get your visa 🤣

@John ******

no, they are just not doing in person appointments anymore, they are moving to Evisa and closed all appointments after October.

They have told me they are moving to Evisa in October and so there are no more online appointments. I have talked about this a few times in the group. Hanoi as far as I know still have appointments but right now you will not be able to do it in HCMC until they announce the Evisa process.

Yes it will most likely take longer. The HCMC embassy told me that the Evisa process will take up to 30 days.

I just did it in HCMC and I think if they give you the slip and take your money there is a good chance you are fine. I cancelled my Ed visa before doing it but when I entered BKK the IO asked me do I want to come in under the Ed visa or the DTV. I thought this was odd because I was told you CANNOT have 2 active visas...when I told him the Ed visa was cancelled he looked again and saw the cancelled stamp on it. If I were you just cancel the other one when you get back.

If you can have ongoing medical treatments you can apply under the new dtv and get 5 years. Get it while it’s hot

Hand2Hamd Combat has the paperwork for it.
