Visited three banks today in Chiang Mai—Bangkok Bank, KBank, and SCB. All of them politely declined to open an account with a DTV visa.

I have a work permit and non-b visa (extension) on my UK passport.

I am currently outside of Thailand, but will return.

However I lost my UK passport, I also have an Irish passport (never used), are these connected in any way?

Or will I need to return on my Irish passport, somehow cancel my work permit and visa without my UK passport, and then re-apply on my Irish passport?

Thank you in advance

Monday, I went to Pattaya immigration to get an extension, I was done in 30 minutes. I showed up at/about 9:00AM, nobody was in line. I had almost all of my correct paperwork, I needed a photo copy of my TM30, which they allowed me to go make a copy and come back to the same counter (by that time a few more people came so there was a little line). I got my queue number and waited about 5-10 minutes, I gave the IO my paperwork and about 5-10 minutes later they return my passport.

I am not sure what happened but Pattaya Immigration has changed quite a bit over the pass couple of years. Not only have they done building renovations but "customer service" seems to have been renovated. The last time I did an extension myself, I went to immigration 3 times/days and finally was told I would have to come back on the last day of my visa, I finally paid an agent and got the extension same-day. 3 days + 4000 baht for extension two years ago vs 30 minutes + 1900 for an extension today...

Well Done Pattaya Immigration - THANK YOU

Also noteworthy, I have a long questionable visa history and a new passport, not sure if the new passport helped or not.

Visa has just been approved but surley this a mistake from the embassy? Valid from 26th October 2024 until 26th October 2024? 🤔

Dtv visa granted from london embassy but the valid until is the same as valid from, anyone had this or can advise? Already emailed the embassy but travel on the 29th of this month.

Hello I am Going to apply for the DTV visa Muay Thai. Only problem I have is I live in Thailand and can’t get the TM 30 from my landlord. I only have the lease contract. Anyone have this problem ?

What's wrong with Yangon Thai Embassy booking system? I don't think it's possible to book a slot there due to high volume.

Hello, I have a question regarding my visa situation🙏🏼

Year 2021 I had a 12 month business visa. I quit my job and left the country

Came back 2 months ago on a visa exemption and when it was time to make the 30 day extension, immigration office rejected it because I didn’t “cancel” my business visa properly

They say I need an official letter from my previous employer with a stamp, then go to immigration and get a cancellation stamp..

Now the problem is that this company have been ignoring my messages & calls from last year..

I tried to reach out multiple times but it’s a dead end. I can’t get this official letter…

Is there any workaround / solution to this?

Thank you, all help is appreciated
