Completed my first 90day check in. It was pretty easy.

Quick tips:

1. Fill in paperwork before getting there. You can download forms from immigration website.

2. Go before noon on Monday or Tuesday. Less of a crowd.

Took no more than 20 min.

Dear members, I've researched the topic but I would like to ask this group as well... Has anyone here applied for DTV for soft power while non-B was still valid?

I've been working legally in Thailand for two years, but my employment will end next month and naturally, my non-B will be cancelled. My plan is to apply for DTV for Muay Thai (I've been training for years) while my non-B is still valid, return to Thailand on my non-B after DTV gets approved (hopefully), and when the non-B gets cancelled next month, I'd leave Thailand again and return on DTV.

My income will come from investments in my home country and online work from outside the country. I will not work in Thailand - but I wish to avoid that officers will suspect otherwise. Has anybody else transitioned from non-B to DTV like this? I'd appreciate you to share your experience, tips & tricks...

Thank you for sharing!

A huge debt of gratitude for all the help this group provided during our LTR visa journey which culminated today in the grant for me and my wife.

Hello :-) Question mostly for Polish people with passport issued in Poland, but if any country have similar please also share.

What did you write in the place of issue box while applying? Did you go with what's under authority word by word (in my case it says Wojewoda Pomorski /3/) or you wrote Poland?

I will be applying in Hanoi and really don't want to get rejected for a mistake there.

TIA

EDIT: I called Embassy of Thailand in Hanoi and the Embassy told me to write Poland.
