What are Thai Soft Power activities?

Thai Soft Power activities include Muay Thai, Thai cuisine, education programs, sports events, medical tourism, and cultural activities that promote Thai culture and tourism. We can help arrange these activities with approved providers.

Can I apply while in Thailand?

No, the DTV visa must be obtained from outside Thailand, specifically from the country where your employment is based. We can assist with arranging a visa run to nearby countries where we have embassy connections.

What happens if my application is rejected?

While our expertise significantly reduces rejection risk, embassy fees (฿9,748 - ฿38,128) are non-refundable. However, our service fees are fully refundable if we cannot successfully assist you in obtaining the visa.

Can I extend my stay beyond 180 days?

Yes, you can extend your stay once per entry for an additional 180 days by paying a fee at immigration (฿1,900 - ฿10,000). You can also exit and re-enter Thailand to start a new 180-day stay period.

Can I work on a DTV visa?

Yes, but only for non-Thai employers under the Workcation category. Working for Thai companies requires a separate work permit and different visa type.
