Best DTV visa agencies, compared by what they actually charge

Short answer: five of the eight services on this list publish no price at all. Of the three that do, the published fee runs from $139 to $699 in dollars and ฿12,500 in baht — and not one of those figures includes the consulate fee.

Total cost calculator

Consulate fee + optional extension + whatever service you choose

The consulate fee is charged by each post in its own currency. Where we could not read a figure on an embassy page, the line shows what a provider's public fee table states and is marked as unconfirmed.

The DTV admits you for up to 180 days per entry, extendable once in-country for ฿1,900.

Pick where you are applying from

The breakdown fills in with the fee that post publishes, or with an unconfirmed figure clearly marked as one.

Claims versus what is verifiable

Three lines appear on almost every DTV service page. None of them can be checked by you, and one of them cannot be true.

No private service decides a visa. Approval is a consular decision, so no service can guarantee it — whatever the wording on the page.

"99% approved"
Not verifiable

No service publishes its application count, so the denominator is unknown. Consulates do not publish per-agency outcomes either. Treat it as marketing copy with no source behind it.

"Approval guaranteed"
Cannot be true

A private company cannot commit a consular officer to a decision. What can be real is a refund or a free re-application — look for those words in published terms instead.

"5–10 days"
Ambiguous unless defined

Days from what? Payment, complete documents, or submission? A defined start point is what makes the number mean anything. Most pages leave it out.

Do you need an agency for a DTV at all?

The official e-Visa route at thaievisa.go.th is open to every applicant and costs the consulate fee alone. What you buy from a service is document work and, sometimes, a second attempt.

Proof of funds

The checklist asks for a bank statement for the last 3 months with an ending balance of at least 500,000 THB, in the applicant's own name.

Evidence of remote work

Proof of salary or monthly income for the last 6 months. Freelancers without an employer are the ones who have to build this line out of contracts and invoices.

Variation between consulates

The same file is accepted at one post and returned at another. Requirements are interpreted locally, and only some posts publish their fee at all.

Consulate variance

Why the right service depends on where you apply: only some posts publish a fee at all, and the document habits differ by post.

A widely repeated "10,000 THB" base fee circulates in secondary sources. We could not confirm it on an official page, so it is not used anywhere on this page.

Methodology

Eight criteria, fixed weights, applied identically to all eight services. Each is scored 0 to 5 and multiplied by its weight, so the totals sum to 100. Price is scored on transparency and on what the price includes, not on being low.

Nothing is scored from a claim we could not read on the service's own pages. Where a page says nothing, the cell reads "not stated on their site" — a fact about the page, not a judgement about the company.

Questions

No. The decision belongs to the consulate. A service can prepare a stronger file and submit again, and nothing more. Read a guarantee as a refund promise at best — then check whether the refund terms are actually published, and what they exclude.

Because there is no standard scope. The lowest tier is document review with optional submission; the highest is a law firm's full package. And a price you cannot see is not a low price — it is an unknown one. The tick matrix above is the honest comparison, not the number alone.

On this list, never. Every published service price sits on top of the consulate fee, which each post charges in its own currency — USD 350 in Moscow, £300 in London, SGD 500 in Singapore, all read from the embassy pages in July 2026.

It should. The checklist asks for proof of salary or monthly income for the last six months, and a freelance file has to build that out of contracts, invoices and payment history. No service on this list publishes how it does that — which is why that badge above is not awarded to anyone.

You apply again and pay the consulate fee again. Whether the service fee comes back is a policy difference: one refunds it minus ฿2,000, one refunds it through a paid add-on, one promises a full refund for eligible submissions. The rest publish nothing. Those exact words are in the refusal column.

Prices are re-read monthly and every row carries the date it was last read. If a listed price has moved, send the URL and it gets corrected with a dated note.
