When I have done it it is passport copies of visa page and bio, TM30 and TM47 completed. I just get the TM47 at immigration as well as the copies done.
One of the earliest posts in this group was a guy who applied for the DTV in LA. It was not approved in time for his flight so he came to Thailand and entered on a Visa Exempt. The LA Consulate approved his DTV so he flew out of Thailand and back to activate the DTV.
Anonymous participant It could be airlines do not have up to date information in their systems. It is often out of date or wrong anyway. Some guy Googles and updates the information the check in clerks look at.
Never said you did. I was putting up a hypothetical. If you work for say a UK limited company and that company is engaged by a Thai company. Can you do work as an owner, employee or contractor of the UK limited company on a DTV while in Thailand?
You can definately get DTV for medical treatment. No idea if teeth cleaning would qualify lol. Ask The dentist to give you 3 cleaning appointments 6 months apart and a letter saying this. :-) :-)
Well the DTV as we know is MFA. Entry and extensions are Royal Thai Police Immigration. They are 2 different entities and in Thailand different departments run like their own feudal fiefdoms. The only place I have witnessed joined up working is the BOI.
We will have to wait and see but I can see it happening. They control entry points too. Border bounce prices have gone up as it is 60 days now. They do like to make up for loss of earnings.
