@Brad ********

maybe it's a "VISA exempt 60-day retirement non-Visa entry“ :-D

@Jack *******

I don't know what else is you go to about 800k method in Bangkok requires yearly detailed statements...

Unless the bank book has been updated at the early and doesn't have any summarized transactions....

@Jack *******

the problem with a bank book is if you don't update it often enough it will summarize transactions and it cannot show if it went below and got topped up again.

5 years here and it never worked online....

@John ******

well I'm not saying you're guaranteed to get a Visa... I just said if you actually get a new Visa approved any previous visas are typically void.

If you apply for a new visa and you don't get it your old Visa is not void unless you ask them to void it typically.

The generic rule is that you can't hold two Visas for one country at the same time at least in general.

I've heard of people who have gotten DTV Visa while having a retirement extension with re-entry permit, if they sctually get to the TV Visa, their extension is canceled.

But I think for work visa or student visa you may explicitly need to cancel them in many cases...

@Jtc ****

you can go to their office...

Or take the app and go to the 7-Eleven they probably can help you....

@Jtc ****

"MEA Smart Life is used for paying electricity bills via the application with Visa and MasterCard credit cards or using QR code/Barcode for payment at payment agents. The MEA Smart Life application"

Well pay it in the app then?

@John ******

physically it's a new Visa issued previous Visa are automatically canceled. But this doesn't say anything about the success in applying especially in Japan.

I once try to apply for a Chinese visa in Japan and they were flat refused and were very rude and these were Japanese people...

How you know you have a bill?

@Keven ***

hotels have 24 hours to file your TM 30 so one day may not be enough....

Also for the initial Visa (or first extension) don't we need to see the rental contract for the place you registering it? Sorry if this isn't applicable.
