Anonymous participant 573 that’s a valid concern I totally agree with. Senior software engineer, currently on a gap year, developing new skills and just living. I have options, but I’m not accepting yet.

maybe you made a typo, its thaievisa (not thaisevisa), but yes, I used that site. When you start an application you must select the embassy to apply at, and you would select the Thai Embassy in Vienna.

Before applying I saw posts in this group which made me feel confident that I match the criteria for DTV. Thanks Andi and Dragos for your warm comments.

@John ****

And a slower one too. I applied at the start of October.

I explained that for the duration of initial course, I have enough means to support myself. Regarding the future plans, I said I’ll get a remote job to sustain my travels further. From what I’ve read on this group this was enough and also not enough and I get what you’re saying.

So you think its good to highlight long term usage? Would they not think in this case, that I want to live in Thailand for longer with back to back visas. I mentioned that I do plan to travel around and occasionally return to Thailand. When I was keeping it short, sweet and to the point, they wanted me to elaborate. I couldn’t stay concise, no matter what their question and my answer were, they always had additional questions.

@Greg *******

I’ll post an update after the documents are reviewed, but to be honest I don’t think I’ll get it.

DTV God Thank you for the comment. If I knew meeting all the listed requirements would not be enough, I would not apply. I love Thailand but I don’t need this headache.

@Chantelle *****

I mentioned those things and they even asked if I have a girlfriend or friends in Thailand. I’ll do a concise version of it in the motivation letter.

Anonymous participant 748 I am thinking to go that route.
