Anonymous participant Strange one. Incoming to live should not matter. They do seem to be tightening up but no indication what they are looking for. It's like blind men trying to describe an elephant.

Could be anything. While on Ed visa were income/earnings deposited in Thai bank. They do not usually look but by recent reports it does look like some applications are facing more scrutiny. Whatever it is there is no recovering from a rejection. Need to apply elsewhere and probably better in a different location. Good luck.

People have posted doing this before with no problem.

99% of people will be fine and not even be asked any questions upon entry. If there is a pattern emerges like with Ed it will no doubt be posted here.

@Mar ****

In those cases they could say home country or a country where you have residence. Example would be a METV for Thailand in Singapore. Those on long term passes and citizens can apply. A tourist passing through coukd not - at least that is how it used to be. However a visitor to Singapore, holding certain passports, can apply for a B there. Anyway does not look like any changes on horizon. They cannot even make up their mind about 60 or 30 day visa exempt

@Richie-Rich *******

Phuket and Chiang Mai have reported question. As for the statistical ration yiu are never going to get that. I suspect it is very low just as it is for Visa Exempt and other entry types. If they are targeting the DTV like they did with ED maybe we will see more posts like this?

Which Embassy is this? Never seen this request before.

@Peter ********

I hope not. I just think these checks we are hearing about are quite normal QA checks from immigration. Just like any visa a certain quota is pulled aside to get a deeper check. There may be certain locations they are looking at closely such as the ones mentioned. It has been obvious for some time certain agents are implying they have contacts at these embassies smoothing the way. Maybe they have been caught.

Ones I have seen posted approved are 1) Diabetes 2) Arthritis 3) Glaucoma / eye treatment 3) Menopause and of course Dental. There was a post yesterday about initial medical treatment DTV was approved but extension rejected in Chiang Mai. Basically no detailed treatment plan going forward.

Anonymous participant Sorry yes if you extend incountry and it is the 2nd 90 day you should be able to do online
