Overstay question

I had a work permit and an agent throughout the WP process. Year 2 of WP, I had to go to Chamchuri Square on my own for the 90-day reporting (agent stopped holding my hand). I mixed up the reporting deadline dates and overstayed one day. Went the following day, paid the 2000 baht fine and everything was fine from then on (yes, I got the black mark in my passport, but have since renewed my passport and it's not in the new passport).

Would this affect my DTV application?

Trying to find out whats the best way forward:

I've been in thailand for 5 months (1 visa run with short overstay). Tried to open a company and get a wp but got scammed (hence the overstay).

im considering going for a few months to bali, applying there and coming back on DTV.

i have the money in the bank, but my income is very unstable as i do some group coaching twice a year and thats where most of my income comes from

i have my own company, could pay myself a salary

any advice or things i should read on? would be greatly appreciated. im a south american national but also have european passport if it makes any difference.

How have people managed to get a post paid sim registered to their name? True move told me I need a work permit, which I think might be BS. Bangkok bank didn’t warn me before deleting my accounts yesterday just as I was trying to pay for something 😜

I’m 19 years old and looking to stay in Thailand long term as an English teacher. I am American native English speaker. I will have my 120 hr tefl certification in three weeks. I’d much rather prefer to tutor but if I needed to teach in a school I could do that. I don’t have 800,000 thb saved but I could borrow it for 24hrs to show them a bank statement. Any ideas?

Hi all. I fly to Cambodia on April 27 to apply for my DTV. I'm currently on a work visa/permit. The company I was with told me since I'm leaving Thailand on a Sunday (April 27), that it will most likely follow the business days and cancel on the Monday after I leave. I was planning to submit my application on Sunday night tho. Do you think it's ok since they most likely won't see it till Monday morning? Or should I wait till Monday? Or should I wait an extra day, just to be sure the other visa is really cancelled?

Hi all. The school that I was working for is planning to cancel my work permit. Is it correct that my visa will automatically be canceled, too? Is there anything that I must do before going for a boarder run? The school isn't helping me to explain this thoroughly.

I see quite a few people on here have cancelled their DTV visas and transferred onto a work permit and Non B

Does anyone know after you do this- could you reapply for a new DTV visa let’s say after a few years (after you’ve worked for a few years in Thailand)
