Of course a DTV holder can be a tax resident in Thailand. It is 180+ days in a calendar year plus assessible income ie cumulative and not consecutive days. Having a local bank account has no bearing on this.
I would say 100% it was because you returned to Thailand. They can see this on their system. They did not even ask you to prove you were still in Vietnam as they knew you were not.
Anonymous participant Up to now no reports of anyone being refusd entry. A gym owner said some of his students asked questions but allowed in. That is he most I have ever seen posted.
Anonymous participant No idea of cost as company invoiced directly. I cannot imagine they are cheap. They handle everything though door to door. They will send you customs forms etc.
Anonymous participant ask these guys. They are very good. Been involved in a couple of my moves in and out of Singapore and Europe. I did not bother to Thailand though. Hand carried what I needed from Singapore to Thailand
If it was me I would do same as you. Have a few days somewhere on a short flight. I have completed 2 borders run previously. Each was to get a Visa Exempt so I could move to a B from and O and from a B to an O. Years later I do not have good memories of either :-) :-)
A Thai DL can be used as ID in many places here too. I have used it at the bank counter instead of passport. People have used them to fly domestically but that is not always 100%. It does act as 2nd photo ID on top of passport is 2 are required.
The schools usually do all the work for you. Get the Residence Cert, Med Cert, ensure you score high enough on the written test, take the practical over and over till you pass. :-)
