Never been asked. In and out on DTV many times.

@Paul ******

maybe I just got the IO on a good day.

Ranong visa run can be done same day for DTV. I did last week. That is possible for Phuket residents.

CleverRadish5177 Could I have done it cheaper. Probably yes. But 30 quid for another 6 months in Thailand seems good value.

Anonymous participant 928 yes. The guy basically stayed with me and sorted everything. It is a bit different than I expected. We had to stop and show my passport in 3 different places- police, army and finally immigration. He helped me throughout. At Myanmar immigration they ask if you are staying overnight. If not they stamp entry and exit at same time. Againy boat driver just remindede to check all my stamps.

@Oli ********

yes

@David *********

I don't know

@Steve ******

.NHS treatment is not based on citizenship, but rather on residential basis. But good for him that he has been able to access. If he told them he was a resident in Thailand they would refuse treatment, or charge him.

BeachDude for me it was the 800k. The opportunity cost of that is huge over 5 years. Say 4% compound interest for 5 years is a significant chunk of money.

@Adam ****************

yes. I just bought one last month.
