@Neil *******

in the other hand why are we are we filling it in and then they are comparing it instead of they just take the it from there if the first place...

Tech is supposed to make things more easy....

@John *********

yes. It's not full 12 months on the app. Which is really stupid.

I guess one could retrieve it some months early and then get a 3 months for current. And bankbook copy.

They wanted 3 months when i just updated to new passport, i didn't have the bankbook with me, bank at cw couldn't help.

In the end a printout of 3 months from app to the right moment was accepted at the immigration.

Not sure you can count on that, or anything though. Lol

I would say generally don't overstay. Some people say there's no problem but if you for whatever reason getting to trouble if the police you get arrested and deported....

You also get a lost stamp in your passport if you leave and the finest 500 baht a day. Oh that stamp doesn't look good for any other visa and any other country you may apply.... Depending on the country.

Why don't you take a week and go visit Cambodia? Then when you go back you get another sixty days

@Kaitlyn ********

I I think you apply at a specific office in a specific country and they process it.

At least for the DTV Visa each country are differently stringent and may or may not take people who are non-residents.

@Jim ********

the stamp clearly says it was NOT approved!

It also tells her to get out.

And then she stays? If police would have checked papers while she was here she could have gotten into a lot of trouble. Deported

@Fortune ***********

what letter? You always had to get address verification from some where...

The biggest issue will be opening a bank account locally and transferring money as well as getting a rental contract for an apartment. Just finding a bank is going to be quite time consuming. Bangkok Bank is usually the best bet. Many other banks have restrictions.

As others said your best bet is to talk to the local immigration department about what you need to do. Asap.

@James *******

be aware that they have 24 hours to file report so you better stay a few days in hotel and and ask when you can get a copy of the filing.

@Bruno *****

DTV sounds better than retirement, but the "multiple entry'" had been disputed, some say 2x entry....

@Ellie ******

I'd like to verify that at this might come up later that you can renew your passport abroad and still enter using the stamps in the old passport?

Is it really in the requirement to move over the Visa and extension stamps? I know I had to do it before my extension in country they just gave me the forms and did it at the same time.
