We can assist you with this and help secure an affordable course.

Currently, this is only applicable for first-time applications. However, if you wish to extend your stay within the country, the course must remain active (and yes, we can help with DTV extensions). The initial time requirement will vary depending on the embassy you apply to. Some may accept a short, one-week course, while others might mandate a longer-term arrangement.

Due to this requirement, some may consider border bounces, where an active course might not always be checked.

Before opting for this approach, we strongly recommend consulting with our team, as we may be able to provide further assistance.

This seems much too high.

Please consult our team via line:



Our fees start at 8,000 thb, and go up depending on what type of assistance is needed.

However, you might be able to complete the application on your own. This group has many helpful posts, and if you have specific questions about the process, the members are happy to assist you for free.

@John ******

Yes, South Africa is an exception.

@Jim *******

We do regularly assist many clients which are outside of Thailand.

They would need to contact us as they provided no helpful information in this post.

We would need to know their nationality, country they they are in, visa they applied for, and of course visa history.

But based on comments in this post the OP is from central Africa which is a country we do not currently assist with at any capacity.

If an agency offers help for cases like this, proceed with caution. The success rate is very low, and some agencies may take your money without even submitting your application.

Additionally, since you’ve asked for direct messages, you might attract scams or fraudulent individuals, so be extra careful.

We understood the point, but it doesn’t change the fact that many people in Thailand currently hold a five-year DTV visa despite having engaged in very short-term activities.

For example, some obtained a five-year DTV visa by attending a one-day concert.

This was done in full compliance with the advertised requirements, which did not specify a minimum duration or ongoing activity. At this point, everything seems to depend on how individual embassies interpret the visa requirements.

@Steve ******

Also looks like an 11 😁

In some embassies this was actually possible.

Most require 1-3 months at the moment, but some even require 6 months.

Embassy requirements for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) can differ, especially for the Thai Soft Power category. Each embassy applies its own interpretation of course length and other criteria.

To make the process smoother:

- Check with the Thai embassy or consulate where you plan to apply to confirm their specific requirements.

- Let the school or organization know about the requirements so they can provide the right documentation.

- Request a detailed quote or confirmation from the school that shows the course details, length, and how it meets the embassy’s expectations.

We’ve helped many clients in NYC with their DTV applications, including finding qualifying activities and meeting the required timelines.

This is not entirely correct, you can apply physically in other countries.

If applying online then you would need to be in the country you are applying to.
