Question for fellow DTV holders.

I got my visa through a 6-month Muay Thai package and that confirmation letter is now expired. Do you guys keep an active subscription running somewhere, or just rely on the original letter from when you applied?

With recent reports of immigration asking for training photos and even calling gyms to verify, wondering what the smart play is. What are you all doing?🙏

Went to bank today for visa renewal paperwork, showed them last years letters so they would know exactly what I wanted. Got something similar-ish and was assured this was fine, I wasn't 100% but thought I'd give it a go. Immigration asked me to go back to the bank because it was incorrect. The same lady said 'you got the wrong information from us because you asked me for a year, not 12 months! 🤔🤔

I forgot my 90 day reporting as I was in the hospital because of a motorcycle accident. Its 20 days over the deadline, what should I be aware if? Will I face any trouble? What extra documentation should I prepare?

Whilst in Thailand for two months initially, i need to buy a SIM for opening a bank account. But also to speak with family back home.

The house we are renting doesnt have wifi and i dont want to install one for just two months.

What are the best data packages in Thailand for unlimited wifi so I can tether my iPad to my iPhone?

If you ever have the situation that you enter formalities with banks immigration etc and during their deliberations you get a new passport, do keep photocopies of the original or the old one. They dont care if its you and you are the same person and the old passport is no longer valid they want photocopy of the old one.

Luckily I had a copy of the old one.

Also dont.think a stamp stating you have your visa in the passport is proof enough you have a visa they want the original copy of letter you presented at immigration when you arrived so they can really get down to it 😉

I guess its just crossing the Ts and dotting the i to the nenth degree.
