Whatever you did for work or visits pre application is not relevant as long as you don't have any visa type that is not cancelled. Just apply submit the correct documents as asked by whatever embassy location you apply. If they have an issue they will request more documents and maybe an interview good luck

There is no such thing as paid in advance. You go to immagration 14 days before or 7 days after the date. It's free if you fail to report it's 2000 bht fine. Maybe you are thinking of an agent reporting for you they charge like 500 bht for the service

It's it a holiday or are you planning to move to Thailand to live. This visa is not required if you are planning a holiday you will get 60 days visa free on arrival. Your post doesn't give enough information on what you are doing married children yours all same nationally???

I have never heard of soft power botany course for DTV the soft power course allowed are printed on the DTV site of the Thai embassy. Also most embassy want at least 3 months of statements. I don't believe people have been transferring money the week before. Anyway try again it's only 10,000 bht a shot 🤣🤣🤣

Anonymous participant this is the biggest problem when people say they can't open a bank account. If you were in your own country and you just walking inti a bank with no documents or I'd would they open an account for you?? No no no 😞. It's been posted here a hundred times but people not listen. Copy of

DTV

Visa stamp

House registration from immagration or 6 months contract or yellow book

Reason why you need an account ie 5 year visa need to transfer money from where it pay bills,rent ,food ,live

Download bank app staff will do it for you

I think that's it but the bank will sort you if you are patient and speak nice

You can open an account just explain that you have a 5 year visa to bank and that you live here you need bank account to pay bills and shop. Get the bank app download bt the bank also

Copy of passport

DTV

Visa Stamp for 180 days

Rental contract

TM30

That should be enough good luck

if an agent can do it you can do it yourself. Agents are scammers

l have never used an agent l try to do everything by myself even bank and licence. It's just good someone posts there success. Tired of all the idiots who come here and can't even tie their shoelaces how do they survive in their own country
David ********
Look at the DTV visa it has a date from and date to. The 180 days starts from first entry
David ********
This post is proof you actually can do it yourself if you follow what the immagration office in your area wants. It's not that difficult if you are patient. How much was saved by not using an agent just because you can't be bothered understanding this process.
