if u go for short period of times u don't need any dtv. I have a friend who works in kl and he goes to thailand times a month on weekends (both bkk and phuket). He never got an issue with the immigration

I actually won't mind paying the "fees" to get the paperwork done but some schools have become greedy and charge 15k just for that... Wish I could find a cheaper one since I'm not really interested into muai thai

@Kool ******

some do but others claim their courses are tailored to get a DTV... It was the case of a gym who is rather small but claimed that had over 300+ people getting the DTV. Of course things are going to get more strict in the future but so far it seems working

which embassy did you apply at?

quale amabasciata?

dtv for softpowers or work?

Anonymous participant 370 they believe they've gotten the hen with the golden egg. We all know how things work in thailand, the same happened to those language centers back 10yrs ago, at that time every long term tourist had an ED visa till the time that the government went to check how many they were really attendend classes and they shut down dozens of school. There were school in touristic area that despite being made of 2 small classrooms enrolled hundreds of students and that made things hard for everyone. I'm not saying this gym is a scam by any chance, I really believe they are great but having too many students might lead to troubles....

Anonymous participant the problem is that I live in taipei and it would sound way more suspicious to go to a 3rd country to apply for the DTV. dm me if u don't mind

No, you get the DTV from an embassy abroad. Of course your girlfriend can apply but she cannot as a spouse cuz you aren't married. She can apply either for soft powers or workstation
