My husband just got our 2 visas from the embassy!!! ๐๐ผ๐
Documents provided
For him as main DTV holder:
- 500k THB on a bank account at date of application
- letter of acceptance from a Muay Thai school on Koh Lanta
- price 5,600,000 IDR
For me as spouse:
- proof of relationship - copy of our civil union certification from Amsterdam (NL)
- copy of his passport
He gave both applications on Monday around 1pm. And got the visas on Thursday at 1.30pm. 3 days like they announce on the website and when you drop the application.
I did not have to be present which allowed me to stay on Bali with our kids.
He only had to proove 1x 500k THB for both of us.
The MT school on Lanta gave a pretty high price to agree to give him the letter.
Note my husband DOES plan on training in MT but NOT everyday because as a family it just doesnโt work. And they were offering daily training at first.
He managed to get the price gor down a bit but still it was quite an expense. Something to take into account when applying for soft power DTV
I feel joy and relief that we are to enjoy Thailand again.
Also happy to answer any questions!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their successful experience obtaining DTV visas from the Thai embassy, highlighting the necessary documentation, including proof of relationship and bank balance, and detailing their application timeline. The user appreciated the absence of a requirement for the spouse to be present during the application process. Additionally, they discussed the costs associated with the Muay Thai course and their family's visa plans, indicating an intention to manage their children's entry and stay in Thailand.
Yes it is. This new DTV is a rort.. a matter of time before it is shut off. No-one knows yet what evidence is required when coming back in after 180 days.
I judge your comment as passive aggressive and honestly not needed. No one can say what will happen with the DTV. There is no entitlement if I was approved legally.
keep in mind this varies by what embassy you apply at and this is specific to Jakarta. Other embassies are asking for each person to show 500k THB or a joint account with 1mm THB. So you need to verify with the embassy you apply at.
no as I said because our kids are small (2&6 yo) we decided not to pay 10k TBH for each of them and have them enter on exemption for 60 days, maybe get the 30 days extension and then - unless we have a trip out of the country lined up - have them overstay
