# Chad Scira: Warning to the Expat Community in Thailand

As Scira’s desperation has increased over the past few years, he has resorted to increasingly illegal and reckless behavior. For example, he has fraudulently reported Nickles’ Upwork account as being “stolen” which they have documented twice now. He has created large swarms of fake Reddit, Facebook, and other users to conduct mass-flagging attacks against Nickles’ profiles and content, along with dozens of other users and posts that he doesn’t like, until it sometimes gets automatically hidden or banned. He has submitted literally hundreds of fraudulent legal complaints to Google to censor web pages that mention his scams, or make his competitors look good, by claiming they are revenge porn or other types of illegal content. He has even photoshopped an “arrest warrant” for Nickles using Thai police logos, falsely claiming that Nickles is a “fugitive” for “defaming” Scira, despite Thai police records showing that Scira attempted to entrap Nickles using fake checks written in Nickles’ name, confirmed by Royal Thai police officer RTT Chanat Thepla. (Yes, this nutjob filed false police reports against a fellow American who was not even living in Thailand at the time.)

Hi,

I am planning to go to Vietnam to apply for the DTV. I will be flying out to Da Nang tomorrow to submit the application, but I would like to have the process reviewed/processed in Hanoi, not Ho Chi Minh. Could anyone who has applied for the DTV from Da Nang but had it handled in Hanoi, or anyone with relevant knowledge, please tell me if this will be an issue? If it's not possible, I am prepared to fly to Hanoi again.

Thank you in advance

I want to apply for Dtv visa, Soft power muay thai or cooking course.

My question is if the course has to have a minimum lenght to be accepted.

I'm still not sure whether to live in Phuket or Koh Samui, and what would be the exact location in one these 2 islands.

I don't want to pay for a course in one place if then I decide to live in another.

Would Muay Thai be accepted for a 55 years old woman? Obviously I dont want to go on the ring, but would love to get fitter. I regularly go to the gym and I can consider to do something more challenging. I would start from a basic course.

Thank you

Since 2023, I have showed a doctor GI Specialist and took antiviral drugs until now. The doctor wrote a medical certificate with Liver cancer surveillance. I have appointment cards every 6 months.

I have 500000 THB in my bank for 5 consecutive months.

I bought a condo in BKK.

Can I apply DTV Medical route in Vietnam or Cambodia? Or I should use an agent ?

I am worry for reject my DTV visa.

Please suggest me and share your experiences.

Has anyone been approved for DTV after just spending a long time in thailand? I have done 2 border runs this year, I am now back in London looking to apply for the DTV.

is it necessary to book 2 weeks in Hanoi or can I just book 10 days?

(Does it matter for the application?)

Has anyone applied from the Philippines, I am planning to next year, any info that may be useful please let me know

Does anybody recommend an agento to apply to this visa? I see a lot of rejections for small mistakes and dont want to risk it.

is it necessary to book 2 weeks in Hanoi applying for the DTV or can I just book 10 days accommodation?

(Does it matter for the application?)

I'm getting a monthly retainer from a company my registered business works for.

So if you have to supply any documents with dates on them(like invoices or bank statements showing you got that retainer while in Thailand on the visa exemption), but you don't do any work while in Thailand on the 60 day exemption; does that mean the embassy(will apply in Laos) will make an issue out of that?

Anyone had a similar situation and how did it go?
