I’d like to ask about something that has been worrying me since I moved here. What happens if I pass away in Thailand? I live alone and honestly wouldn’t want anyone from my distant family to go through the trouble and expense of flying here just to take my body home. I would simply prefer to be cremated locally.

Does anyone know what the procedure is in this situation? Maybe someone has had experience dealing with this for a friend or relative?

I’m not sure about this.

Possible to apply re-entry permit either single or multiple for 90 days non O based on marriage ?

My plan is to apply 90 days non O. Then go to Thailand to activate it. Open bank account, then back to Malaysia to sort other personal things out and also tranfer 400k baht by Swift while in Malaysia.

And anyone know if there is re-entry counter at Hatyai International Airport?

Thank you in advance

Hi this might be a silly question but when proving the bank balance, does it need to be a business account? Or can it be in any account?

Has anyone received the DTV based on a medical reason?

I am having an implant done now in the USA in October but would be in Thailand about the time where I could get a crown on it (takes 3-6 months to heal first)... and wonder is that would suffice.... (it may not be until Feb).

So I just need to show some sort of proof of an appointment with a Dentist, etc?

From what I casually read though it might be for onlu ongoing medical care (long term issue...)....

Curious question for everyone. I have all qualifications necessary for DTV, however my bank documents show first initial, middle initial and last name. Whereas all other docs show full first, middle, last. I've seen people getting rejections because of documents being inconsistent. Has anyone been able to submit documents with first/middle initials and last name without a problem? Just happens to be the way the banks & government do EVERYTHING where I live (never a full name)

im a bit confused. would appreciate any help:

1. does the currency of the bank account have to be the same as in the place you're applying from?

2. do you physically have to be in the place you're applying from, or is it okay to just be a citizen/resident? ive been a resident in italy for the last year in an education program (not a citizen), but i might want to apply from the US (citizen). however I'm not keen on paying 1000+ on flight tickets home just to leave again...

As I fly out and back at least every month I wish they would develop an app that’s faster and easier to use app that would remember you base information. As the web page is a bit time consuming.

If an agent does my first 90 day check in for me can I do the rest of the 90-day reportings on line myself or do I also need to do the first of remaining reports in person before doing online myself. Thanks in advance
