Hope it goes well for you this time. Let us know. One of my very good friends who I used to work with had a "Difficult" passport. Needed visas for everywhere including Thailand. He spoke at many medical conferences globally as he was senior in his field. Now he took Singapore Citizenship. Can travel almost anywhere visa free.

As for DVT and nationality it is 100% true certain nationalities and locations are scrutinised more than others. Officials have pretty much said it without saying it directly. Same as in other countries like Vietnam. Certain passport holders very much restricted without being a published list.

I feel for you. Every time a British person commits a crime in Thailand it is always posted "Typical Brit" - send them home etc.

One thing this has confirmed. Embassies can see if you are in Thailand with their access to immigration systems if they are checking.

@Callum *******
I think you have been very unlucky to have been caught out like this. Hope it all goes through quickly when you get back

As DTV is a MFA visa and not an immigration department it is different. No idea which way things are looking.

It is nuts and some places more nuts than others lol. Each locale seems to have it peculiarities and specialisations. That is about as much as I am posting in public lol Prices for certain visas have exploded recently too.

Who knows. Could be linked. On a dodgy Ed so refused a DTV is a possibility I suppose.

This is Ed visas being monitored. DTVs are not right now. Someone running a bar on a DTV though is open to being taken advantage of. Could be dobbed in or made to pay up. There are people on DTV openly flexing on TikTok about running a business in Thailand on it and touting for customers too.
