Hi guys, Does anyone have any experience in Malaysia with DTV visa for muay thai?

For the LA consulate, has anyone who's gotten approved for the DTV, what did you use for the "place of issue" and "city of birth". I've searched around and got mixed answers. Some say for the place of issue use USA, United States, or United States Department of State. For city of birth some say use the state as in the passport and others say both city and state. Should you use city [space] state, ex Seattle Washington or just stick with the state (as seen on the passport) even though it asks for the city? Any advice would be appreciated.

Update: Thanks everyone. For other people's reference this worked for me.

City of Birth: I put down the state as my passport only shows the state

Place of Issue: United States

I can’t see on my DTV visa where it says 90 day check in etc

Can someone show me where I should see the 90 day check in? Will I see on my passport? Or will I get another email when I enter the country?

Entered the Kingdom on October 25th on a Non-O Visa. This is my first visit. I have copies of my Visa, Passport pictures, TDAC and TM30.

Trying to make sense of the stamps in my Passport. Is January 22nd my first 90 day check in?

Immigration said I'm only allowed to be in the Kingdom for five months. Which is fine since I am here with my wife taking care of some loose ends pertaining to her mother. We have obligations back in the States and will be here to wrap up some business, travel a bit and then go home.

Thank you

TDAC requirements. I will be arriving at BKK for a transit. I will arrive, go to arrival immigration, turn around and go to departure passport check. "Self transfer". I will never leave the airport.

Do I need a TDAC and if so what do I enter for where will I stay!

I have just picked up my 12 months non O marriage visa from Udon Thani immigration.

They told me that immigration police will come to see me at home but they already have been once a few weeks ago, is this normal for them to visit twice?

Hi everyone, I’m planning to retire to Thailand hopefully within the next few months. I have one question and that is once in Thailand I’m going to be living with my girlfriend in her house, would that be an issue regarding my first yearly extension.

Do I need to rent a house or a condo and show immigration the rental contract or living with my long time girlfriend in her house would that require showing any kind of documentation.

I think in advance for all your advice. πŸ™
