But he is meant to stay in the country of application of the DTV while it processes - a bit of a Catch-22 situation here. The Embassy can see on their system if they have enterede Thailand.

100% it is Embassy/Consulate dependent. What gets approved in one can be rejected in another and vice versa. As for applying again it was recently reported Embassies can see past failed applications. However, many are approved on a subsequent application at a different embassy. As for waiting for Retirement "O" if you are not going to do any work it is a good option. Bank accounts, longer driving licences etc.

Anonymous participant 805 I got 14 from my "B". HR requested it. The standard is 7 though. All those not getting VE extended now and refusing to pay 1900 for 7 extension are getting 7 days to leave stamp.

They are meant to. Krungsri has asked. It was part of the regulations issued. Expats were panicking. It does not have to be a Thai TIN though.

Anonymous participant 833 Report just yesterday in here KTB was restricting accounts.

@Andrew *******

There have been reports in this group where immigration have refused to cancel a DTV as they did not issue it. It could be a particular office refusing though and not general practice.

@Luciano *******

When a visa is cancelled or extension refused you normally get a 7 days to leave the country stamp.

@Andi **********

I do not know if they are going to check all accounts systematically. If they do not ask do not tell. Bangk0k Bank has never asked me for an update - fingers crossed. Singapore seem to contact me annually asking for a TIN.

Book a course. Show the money in your account. Fly to Laos or Vietnam and apply.

I would not mention it to the bank unless they need an update for new card, phone or change of address. Let sleeping dogs lie.
