Probably a bit of a strange request here! Partner and I are on DTV and each have two children attached to our visas.

My daughter’s best friend wants to come and live with us - which is fine for us and for her parents, of course!

The two teen girls will be traveling with us for at least half a year without school enrollment - and as her parents will not be joining us (except maybe for a couple of short visits), how do we go about her visa?

Should one of her parents get a DTV and then just leave her with us when they go? What other kind of legal caregiver documentation should we have in place, like in case she gets hurt and needs a hospital?

Thanks!

If I enter Thailand on 14/02/26 on a Non-Immigration OA visa I understand I will be stamped until 14/02/27. If I exited on 20/01/27 and returned 10/02/27 I have heard they will stamp until 10/02/28 (effectively a single entry visa now) - Is that correct?

What are the signs that your Bangkok Bank account has been frozen? Today I was unable to pay for a ฿79 lunch so paid cash then I tried cardless cash withdrawals at two ATMs that also failed. Now I'm waiting with a ticket at a branch to ask. If it has been frozen then I believe I need to go to my account branch?

Can the TrueMoney app be topped up with cash and where? Can I use it to pay by scanning a QR code (Prompt Pay)? So far I have only used it to pay at 7-Eleven by the shop scanning my app's QR code.

I started filling out the application for dtv and it says that my passport has to be ‘valid for at least six months from the date of visa application for single entry and one year for multiple entry’ but my passport expires in 8 months. I have already applied for another passport but it will take at least 2 months to get it. And I also need to be in Thailand for that 😥

Does anyone have experience with this? Can I still apply or it’s automatic rejection?

Has anyone in Bangkok with a DTV visa managed to get the Residence Certificate easily (for Thai driving license)? I’m currently in Bangkok on a DTV visa (arrived since a few days) and I’m planning to apply for a Thai driving license. From what I understand, the key document is the Residence Certificate issued by Immigration. Has anyone here (with a DTV visa) successfully obtained it in Bangkok? Thanks a lot in advance!

I have a Non O visa. Can you spread your 800,000 deposit between two different banks ie so 400k in each?

I am trying to transit from the deposit to monthly income method for my next extension but I would like a back up if this fails for any reason ... like the Wise/ Bangkok Bank change in foreign deposit reference!

Thanks so much
