Exactly this. All systems and processes have QA checks built in.

I do not think the goalposts were moved. There were no goal posts. Immigration did not publish any guidance for extensions until almost 6 months after the visa was implemented. This was mentioned by the MFA in the FCCT interview ie Immigration were still working on guidelines. They can whinge about the actual goal posts but they have not moved

It is not an "Overstay" fine - it is a fine for being late with 90 day report..

That is the first time I have heard an interview request in the UK. There are posts in here about interviews in Vietnam & Laos etc. They seem just to be quality checks and are fine.

You cannot teach in Thailand on the DTV. You need a B visa and Work Permit.

Will be interesting to see if they can. They use the same branch as the others mentioned. All the agents used to be in the bank with their t-shirts on getting places in the queues as clients driven to the bank. Dozens of accounts must have been opened per day at high season a couple of years ago.

Anonymous participant OK - if they cannot then it will be very difficult. They are well connected.

TikTok Services used to open on any visa but I am not sure if still they do today. They are on FB - message them as they are quite responsive.

I cannot remember anyone posting they had to show the 500k upon entry unless my memory is letting me down.
