Hi everyone, I'm in the process of applying for a non-immigrant O/A e-visa through the Thai Consulate in the UAE and have a couple of questions. I wrote to them but they only answered one and ignored the other two. I'm hoping you can help. The first is about our air tickets. The form asks for arrival and departure dates, so do we need to buy return tickets and get a refund once the retirement visa is issued in Bangkok? The form also requires a Thai phone number. I thought I could select a UAE one, but that option is not there. Is there an e-sim we can buy from outside Thailand that would be acceptable? I've found some, but without an ID card, I can only buy a tourist SIM and am not sure it would be acceptable.

Thanks in advance for your help.

This might effect some DTV holders. Basically your ID and Sim must align with your Bank Account.

Proud DTV holder here! Just arrived! What cell phone plan do you all recommend? I’ll be here at least six months. Looks like AIS requires a work permit but DTAC/True are cool without? Tips?

Hello, does anybody has the AIS App? I bought at the airport an SimCard. Its written on it Prepaid. The package with 40GB till 31.10 is almost over and i want more internet. What if the GB are used. Can i just load money up per App? Also with this package where is written for excampel - 40GB /30 Days? Cause in AIS App u can TOP with Money but if u load money on the App, there is no difference at the GB showen. I m somewhere where almost nobody speaks english. So maybe u can help me 🫣 thank u all for your Support 🙏

Hi everyone. I'm coming in Thaïland in 2 days, I got my DTV visa approved. I wanna take a mobile plan (SIM card only) but they ask for a Thai ID number on true.th website.

Since I'm gonna stay for a long time, I'm not sure that's changing my number every month with a tourist SIM card is a good solution.

Do you know if they will also ask for Thai ID number if I go on a true shop directly?

Thanks

For people who have no trouble with their phone here and in the west... Do you have one electric Sim and one physical? Or just one physical and you swap? Or two physical?

Question: I am planning to purchase a travel router or VPN for my upcoming trip to Thailand. Which one is better?

Hi everyone. Is there and option to get a sim online for my phone?

Looking for information for phone/cell service when I arrive, have an iPhone 13, I’m assuming I can just buy a Sim card, prepaid/preloaded? 

Not visa related if I use my wise account to transfer money to open Thai bank account but use a Thai sim card (different number) to one on account will my money still be transferred. Thanks
