What nationality? In US passports we only have two lines, given name and surname. Given Name line includes both first and middle names. This would line up with Name in the application. Does your passport break your first name out separate from middle names?

As I mentioned on the other board, you lost the $400. You can search and see that this has happened to others

No, they are talking about 90 day reporting requirements, which are not DTV specific. Every time you enter the country, your first 90 day reporting has to be in person. Every other 90 day reporting can then be online (if you exit and renter, process starts over in person). This is your 90 day reporting process, not your DTV visa extension process.

now I have a word to describe my current use of the English language 😝

- Yes, one can use credits earned from HS in their college, but most colleges have a maximum that they allow. So even if you had that many, not all would be used for the BA degree. I believe my university accepted 8 of my AP credits, despite having had many more. They could be used to fulfill some of the basic requirements, but then had to fill in the credits required for graduation with additional electives.

- Having been here since 1999 isn’t the flex you think it is. Your only post is from January, where you raise issues you are having with your own visa. If you have been here so long and understand the system so well, why were you having issues?

@Pat *****

Cambodia is 400USD, which is 13,400 baht. What embassies are you looking at?

- Obviously the retirement visa isn’t an option. DTV is used for remote work or enrolling in a program/course like Muay Thai. To work legally in Thailand, you need a work permit. Your job will be responsible for doing that. As others mentioned for school-based teaching, you are technically required to have a bachelor’s degree. I believe there is more looseness when it comes to English language centers.

Anonymous participant The DTV allows you to be in country for six months at a time. If you tell them you can only be here for a month at a time, they will probably give you the 60 day tourist visa instead.

Most likely if you showed up at an embassy, you are not going to see any of the individuals who actually review and make final decisions. Usually the staff available to engage with are lower level / local staff
