Anonymous participant 569 So you have a card with a limit equal to the amount you leave on deposit with the bank? I still have services with a bank here thst are only open to Thais or WP holders etc. The bank knows of my visa change but still renew the services. I am letting the bear sleep as it is handy for me.
As others have said - wait until you are in region and apply. Look at the post from Friday in UK. Guy applied in London then flew to Thailand before DTV issued. They obviously saw this on their system. He had had to fly back to UK for application to be processed. A costly mistake.
Norm now with the eGates. I think it would only matter if someone wanted proof. That lad who posted on Friday was asked by the Thai Embassy London to show an exit stamp for his DTV application to continue.
