What should I do when changing my passport after being granted a DTV visa in Thailand?

Greg ********

Cheers for the answer. They do transfer other visas to new passports with much less periods of validity.

Greg ********

Is it not possible to transfer even if you have a stamped DTV in the passport rather than an email/PDF?

How will frequent short stays in Thailand as a flight attendant affect my immigration status?

Greg ********

I think it luck of the draw. Some of the O&G guys have been told to get a visa while others are having no issues. There was no DTV when two pals frkn Singapore got pulled up. They got METV. One had a note put on his immigration record. He had it took off in a very rural immigration office for a small fee.

Can I enter Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for my DTV visa approval?

Greg ********

I understand it can take time and the frustration. I was a Project Manager for decades and was very risk averse. I would wait.

I know Oil & Gas workers who fly in month on and off. They have been told to get a vida and not relay on Visa Exempt. A METV has worked.

Can retirees apply for a Thai visa under the 'financially independent' category?

Greg ********

There are only two categories of DTV, Soft Power and Workaytion. Retirement is not a category that qualifies for a DTV. There are other visa types for that - 4 I know of the top of my head "O", O-A". "O-X" and "LTR".

What are the current challenges with applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) due to political changes?

Greg ********

@Andrew ********

There were other individual branches at other banks. For example Krungsri at EmQuatrtier was well known for facilitating account opening on VE and TR. It was individual branches of banks though - pretty sure it was down to the discretion of the manager. Many could not be arsed 🙂

Who issued the rule? It was never a "Law". Was it a BoT (Bank of Thailand) rule or guideline - must be a link to it. Was it a rule of individual banks or was it just left to the discretion of individual bank managers?
