and then we have a 90-day reports that only works for some people online.... If you belong to the bank of immigration office it might take several hours to do it in person, in time including getting there waiting in our class and then getting back.

And not even mentioning the returning permit which is actually quite costly.

It's funny how the DTV is so cheap and relatively low cost compared to anything else.

Since it's meant for people working but really should charge people for the time they are here!

@Piyush *****

that really should be highlighted by the application and not used as fault. There is many issues work machine readable version compared to how your name is written in plain.

It's really stupid.

Don't use computers to punish humans! They should be helping...

@Kevinko ******

well any ATM allows you to withdraw at least 20,000 Thai baht. The fee is 220. That is just above 1%.

Most likely your home bank has between 1 and 2% fees on foreign transactions..

So it's comparable.

I'm not saying it's good that they hold your money hostage....

In any case my bank reimburses all my ATM fees.

But I am impressed that on Bali no ATM seems to charge any fees anymore...

Also you may consider that Thailand it's about 3 to 5% less cost for the Steelers, for smaller businesses, if they don't take credit card because that is the Visa fee!

And you're paying that even with cash transaction you do in big businesses.

Anonymous participant 810 banking and payments have become a joke.

They are chasing our small payment for buying a t-shirts and paying for food saying that it's all money laundering... Lol

And we know where the money launderer are; they are the Big corporations!

@Kevinko ******

basically any 7-Eleven when you pay for more than 200 Thai baht you can use the credit card to pay with no fee added by 711.

Anonymous participant 728 well every office is different.

In Bangkok they wanted me to file a new TM 30 after 5 years of staying in the same place. And then we said your rental contract expired, and I show her payment invoices which are current for the same property address verifiable. So it's going to month to month.

She insisted that next time I bring an updated contract!

Lol

Anonymous participant bank statement? Lol

Employment, it sounds rather like they trying to verify your DTV Visa...

@Kurt ************

Don't they ask to see your lease when applying for DTV? LOL

@Yair ********

did you do anything differently?

Well anyways mention if you have Visa and what Visa/entry permit. Show the right page.

And double check stamps.
