You are only allowed to apply for visas via the e-visa website while you are outside of Thailand. You lied on your application, stating that you were in Australia, when you were in fact already in Thailand. While you now have been approved for a retirement visa, it is still not activated. You are still on Visa exemption. The only way to activate this visa now, Ia to exit the country and than renter, showing the immigration officer at the airport tour digital visa. He/She will then stamp you in on it. Then you can apply for a bank account.

Were you attending your classes regularly? If not, they have to cancel it.

Anonymous participant and your nationality? Two weeks isn’t that long for that embassy. Tourist visas should be 30 days

Yes, that is correct.

Or take the time to look over your application before submitting. They do warn you that once submitted changes can’t be made.

How long has it been?

@Maksym **********

when you say spouse and kids, do you mean generally or in situations where one has a DTV and is sponsoring his/her spouse and kids to also have DTVs?

Anonymous participant interesting. In my passport, both first name and middle are on the same line. No way for the application to know which is my first and which is my middle. Have to update it manually, like the instructions tell you to do. Honestly, you won’t win this argument with the embassy. You don’t want to anger the people who will be responsible for approving your next application. When did you join this group? It is a topic that has been discussed 100s of times

Anonymous participant That doesn’t make sense. You said your middle name isn’t in the passport, so how would the website know that the middle name initial is M.?
