How many multiple entries in a multiple entry? Ok I know its a stupid question but one that is in the back of my head. My fiance' (a Thai citizen) and I are taking full advantage of the multiple entry of my DTV, since I originally arrived I've left Thailand six times, sometimes for a day or two. Comeing back is going through immigration again, new TM30 (which I do myeslf at her house) new stamp, extension in the six months in my passport. I'll admit I'm a worrier. But it only takes one inquisitive immigration officer, one note in the computer, one denied entry, one major suspicion and it could all be over. They can cancel your DTV at will. Now my fiance' says not to worry, she's a corporate banker and some of her colleages are leaving the country weekly sometimes more. But they're Thai citizens its a compltely different situaiton. So am I worrying for nothing? I've never once been questioned, just stamped through.
[members only]/ - is it a real site? I opened an application for the DTV visa, paid, was asked for more info - but can't get into the site ever again and the verification email never comes, not even into spam. Now it says the pw is wrong so reset pw but again the verification email never comes, not even into spam. I called all the numbers in London and Thailand, emailed all the emails and used messenger...what to do? Do they exist? Or are they a scam?

I did my first online 90 report yesterday, and I've noticed it still states that it is pending when I look at my visa status. Is this normal, and how long does it usually take to get approved?
We are getting a few cases of people forging our documents. The embassy call us and ask for confirmation that the client is genuine, that's how we catch them out.
Has anyone dealt with the issue of their city not being listed in the drop down menu of the city options for permanent address within the DTV online application process? Aside from writing a cover letter, I'm not sure what else I can do and am concerned of a potential rejection for that reason. I will be applying online via Jakarta.
