American bank will charge 35.00 transfer fee to Thai bank and says same day wire with no atm fee. Would using wise be better and if so why. I have looked at the wise site. I appreciate all the help this group has given me so far

My current (Elite) visa ends on June 2nd. I'm planning to leave to Vietnam that exact same day and start my DTV application from there. Just wanted a confirmation from the experts here that staying until that day (June 2) is not considered a one-day overstay. Thanks!

I'm applying DTV thru the discover thai nature course, the embassy has only mostly asked for a purpose of stay document detailing my plans in thailand (like what I intend to do on a daily basis, income/expense ratio, and if im staying for less then 6 months this time when do I plan to return). I'm currently on a gap year (finished study already) and will be living off savings until I get a new job. I dont want to over complicate the visa process obviously, what would you recommend me to (not) include in this document?

I was issued a DTV on the 13th of May with the intention of entering Thailand (and starting the Muay Thai course for which it is intended) in late June.

However, due to family concerns, my plans have changed and I may not be able to enter Thailand until late August. Even though the visa doesn’t explicitly say so, I’m worried that this may cause it to be nullified as it is more than 90 days from the date of issue.

Should I be worried about this? Many thanks.

Hi! I have the DTV on my current passport. However, my passport is almost full and I’m about to renew it. How will this affect the approval page that I submit at immigration in the airport? It has my current passport number and I’m worried it may cause problems once I have a new passport. Has anyone walked through this yet? Can I do something at immigration? Or is it not a problem as long as my visa gets moved to my new passport? Thanks!

I’m prepping for my first report coming up soon and realize my TM30 is dated from when I came into Thailand to rent my condo and not when I re-entered after activating my DTV.

Will Pattaya immigration care about the date discrepancy or should I ask my landlord for a new one?

Thanks
