I would look at their success details. I know TSL has people on DTV but many more on Ed.

As it stands right now there is no requirement for ongoing activity or courses once the initial course you. were granted the DTV with ends

Yeah when it happens many get caught up in it unfortunately. There is a long history of this happening. There was an agent over 25 years ago in Suk Soi 23 Bangkok. A large number used to hand over passports and off they went to Penang. Then the agent thought it would be even more profitable if he had his own Immigration Stamp and did not pay the fees at the border and in Penang. There was a bit of a panic with that one. More recently was certain immigration offices granting VOL Visas. Big Joke was appointed head of Immogration and cancelled them all. Even legitimate charities cannot get those visas now.

The revoked visas were mainly a single nationality though. A lot more being caught up in it in Hanoi

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

I am wondering if a lot of these ex Ed refusals are linked to the 1000s revoked in Chiang Mai last year?

@Clifton ***********

I think you have just fallen foul of whatever is going on with Hanoi at the moment. Good luck next time and sure it will be fine elsewhere.

@Clifton ***********

The previous cases were not with Embassies. This was internal in Thailand. Just last years 1000s of Ed visa cancelled in Chiang Mai. One reason for big rush for DTV in Laos.

@Clifton ***********

I think the agents that check your documents for completeness and know what to look for are probably OK. The ones that claim to have an "In" etc with embassies, I would be wary. We have seen what happens in the past when certain agents or establishments fall out of favour - mass cancellation of visas. This happened with "Vol" and Ed visas.

Hit a nerve there Benny. Need a hug Hunny?

Its not an airport or railway station. No need to announce your departure.
