The absolute opposite actually. Anutin was far from the "Father" of the DTV. Anutin was Interior Minister including Immigration and they were not really consulted about the DTV. The "Father" of the DTV was Srettha Thavasin and the MFA. It seems to have been presented to cabinet as a fait acompli. His new MFA head might be on the same page but the old one under Thavasin were certainly not.

Not heard of them asking for original visa. I would have thought it was the visa your are on now that counts.

I think it is a wait and see. Parliament is to be dissolved in 4 months so probably no big changes till the. It has to be membered Anutin is an Interior Ministry guy which includes Immigration. Will leave the rest unsaid :-)

Is it Bangkok you need to be located? Chiang Mai has a cooking school that is very credible. The owner posts in this group.

You can withdraw it as soon as the visa is issued if you like. Currently, the only time you would need to show it again is if you apply for an extension at an Immigration Office in Thailand

1) TM30 submitted within 24 hours of arriving in accom. 2) Can leave on day 180 but arrival is day 1 3) you get another 180 days upon re-entry 4) it is a 90 day report

One other area we talked about briefly was keeping the Thai trainers employed and busy. That could be a problem going forward.

This was discussed too. He had the same opinion as my ex Thai Colleagues. Should be 2 distinct DTV. A LTR "Lite" for Workaytion and associated income requirements. The SP one which ran the length of the course.

Anonymous participant Hopefully the Embassy will give you some feedback. It must be extremely frustrating not knowing the reason. I used to hate it after job interviews.

Anonymous participant It can depending what was added. An agent told me they had a client refused due to one. I think it was fraudulent documents used in Netherlands. The next embassy would note process till not removed. Only the originating embassy or a "Friendly" immigration officer engaged by an agent can remove it. If it was me I would first contact a Thai Agent with contacts to check if there is any note. After that they can guide you. PS: The agent did not refund the application fee for second rejection as client had not told them about first one.
