not canceled - but remember the years when the volunteer visa was the rage / was good for 3 years

Anonymous participant 161 ok, Mr. Anonymous. Never been a shady one on an ED visa at a land border. Sounds like you have.

Anonymous participant 161 10+ years here and 15+ entries on DTV. Never stopped or asked anything. Always strange that 99% of those who share their stories are anonymous. Sure there is more to the story than just a random “check”, but go ahead, pretend you know more than others.

What embassy did you get your visa via? How long were you already living in Phuket and on what visa?

@Pierre ********

- No, this means if a foreign national has a DTV, his or her foreign spouse can also apply under the spouse who has the DTV

The TDAC (electronic), which started May 1st. Just basic arrival information. Within the 3 days before arrival.

Yes, it is a requirement, so if you want to apply for a DTV and be successful, you want to fulfill the requirements. As already mentioned, some embassies have earmarked the amount to local currency, sometimes using suspect conversions, equaling more than 500K. So if you are applying via a specific embassy, you will want to look at their requirements. Also some require 6 months in bank, some 3 months and some just at the end of last statement

Most embassies require traditional bank statements. However, a few people have been successful, but with specific embassies, which I believe have been in Europe

You will need to fill out the Thailand entry form before arriving in Thailand again though
