Any suggestions on what bank to go with under the DTV? Do you get a bank card instantly? (I’m only in khon kaen for 1-2 days).

Right now I’m in isan but I’ll probably eventually move to Pattaya. Should I wait and open the account in Pattaya or just do it today in isan?

How many times have you been asked for additional documents before having your application cancelled (Jakarta)?

Morning all… I accessed the new TM06 online form to test it out as I will have to use this regularly in the future. However when it asks for country of residence Thailand is not an option. I live in Thailand but work overseas. It is easy enough to put in a different country and another phone number, but this is not applicable to everyone. Do we know if the form is still in development or do we have to use a different country of residence.

My son completed 11 months of a 12 month education visa for Thai language. I was on a retirement visa for a year. My visa expired a month before he was due to finish ( I got it through the Canberra embassy and it arrived faster than I thought). So he got a letter of early finalisation apparently required from the language school in CM. We then departed for another country on the day my visa finished and were gone a month. We checked everything face to face with CM immigration about leaving and then coming back on a tourist visa, returning for 3 weeks before heading home to Australia. We arrived back at Suvarnabhumi airport and no problem I was stamped through. Then they stopped my son and I came back with him and he was given a hard time about not finishing his course. He had the letter. He was asked one question in Thai and the officer was saying he hadn't studied. We had just come off a night flight without sleep. Then the officer said he cannot come back on an education visa. There were three officers. They were pretty rude and officious but then did allow him to be stamped in as a tourist. We did all the right things according to CM immigration requirements but Bangkok were upset. They also said we cannot come here to live etc. Never said we wanted to!! I love Thai people in general but is this usual?

Hello, has anyone had a negative experience with DTV visa? Delays at the airport and so on

I’m trying to apply for a tourist visa in the uk , I’ve filled in all the relevant information twice and each time this message has come up . I definitely have not “left this page unattended for more than 20 minutes.” It’s been taking me about 12 minutes to complete it , it’s got me baffled. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience with applying with a Syrian passport? My friend is wanting to apply, but has had issues getting visas with her passport in the past. If anyone has any experience with a Syrian passport or other compromised passports, it would be great to hear!

If, as reported here: [members only] KTB and TTB merge, I imagine it'll even be harder to open a bank account with a DTV. Currently TTB is the most chill bank for DTV holders but after the merger, who knows?

Did anyone had problems coming into Thailand through BKK airport with DTV ?

Had a six day overstay last year. Fines paid and overstay stamp in passport. Do you think this might cause a problem when applying for DTV in India?
