yes and usually DMK is more problematic than BKK in my experience - so that’s good to hear - I’m flying back in Sunday on my DTV (but mine is not soft - so hard???🤣)

the context here is Reentry though - so that implies people that have already entered on their approved visas - as far as I’m aware we aren’t talking about ppl first entering on their DTV. My thought is that a lot of the initial batch of DTVs were approved and they may put more scrutiny on the ‘soft’ DTV vs the others. Once again, this is just me speculating.

I’m sorry help me understand which part of my statement says it’s not an approval

They might be checking the ‘soft’ DTV’s (like Muai Thai lessons) harder than the actual ‘online job’ approvals. DTV was also approved for medical appointments, so I imagine they might be checking these.

while it’s easy, some of the questions are not straightforward because of THENGLISH. I did my form myself, and was approved, but it is definitely not easier than wiping your backside unless you’re the size of the main character in THE WHALE.

yeah you also don’t need help to pay your taxes - but ppl pay to have them done all the time - why? Because time is money friend - and sometimes it’s cheaper to pay someone else to do it. Also, if you make a mistake and your application is denied - it costs you more than paying for someone to help you.

if you can send me a link that shows that DTV is exempt from this when all other foreigners on visas need to 90 day report I would appreciate it - because I can’t find it on Google.

alternatively, they could have denied him and gave him nothing, and he would have paid 10k baht for nothing. Something, my friend, is greater than nothing.
