Yes. Some embassies are much stricter than others. I’ve heard the one in Laos is pretty easy and helpful .

For those who don’t , thai authorities even made it possible for these people to have a guarantor who can back them up: speaks volumes on how badly they want you to get this new 5 years visa !!

Just search “DTV visa Thailand” in the search bar on this group ☝🏼. Tons of successful examples.

Just show proof of booking of 1 week of Muay Thai training or proof of one dental appointment: you get 5 years of multiple entry visa for 10,000 THB. You just have to be older than 20 years old and show funds of 500,000 THB or equivalent in currency in your bank account (doesn’t have to be in a Thai bank). Everyone can do that . Just search “DTV visa Thailand” in the search bar on this group ☝🏼.

Stop the constant headache with O visa extensions : just get a DTV visa !! So much easier !!! And no need for an “agent” !!!

Said MFA (ministry of Foreign affairs). On many different cases, Immigration, which belongs to Royal Thai police and which decides of your entry - or not - , says different than MFA..

Correct. You have to pay for it. Be prepared to pay various and unexpected “fees”…

You forgot one important thing: This Is Thailand (TIT) and they can do whatever they want, even if it’s a first. This visa is a first as well anyway.

Moreover I wrote about this earlier because I got the exact same info from a reliable source 👇🏼

Everything related to your visa is stored in the immigration computer under your name. Besides your extended history of stays, visa history etc… That’s the computer you see in front of every IO (immigration officer) at the airport for example.
