Exacttly this. Singapore for example need to be a citizen or long term visa holder. UK and much of UK too. In fact even as a British passport holder I can not apply in London as i do not live there :-)
DTV_Begpacker There are no background checks though. The only background checks are got O-A and the Elit (I think) and then you supply your own police clearance. The Embassies are not doing any such checks.
You can try and lie on your application and take the risk but must accept if you are caught the DTV will be rejected and it may effect further applications.
Hope all goes well. I have experience of a few different offices now in different locations. Just need to get to know their little quirks and requirements. I recently registered a bike in Chiang Mai. I just paid the driving school 1200 for the certificate and all paperwork. At least I knew it would work. Good luck
That is down to that office. Certainly do not need to show funds etc at other offices. In Chiang Mai for example it is TM30 and copy of visa and entry stamp. The question is can Samui issue one outside where your TM30 is registered? I thought it had to be where that was registered
They do not check it at entry. That was the only ever case that I ever saw. There is another regular poster in here saw the same video. As I said it is not verified. The only time, currently, there 500k is checked again after visa issued is if you are applying for an extension in country. You then need to show it in account for previous 30 days.
I saw one unverified TikTok post about someone's friend denied as could not show the 500k at entry. The poster was American and it looked like the friend was from Philippines. As I said unverified so take it with a pinch of salt.
