Random thought. We got DTV’s when they first came out and there was a weird computer glitch that took the data from your passport bio page and added a space either after your passport number or name. At the time people were getting rejected for it. The fix was to manually enter your data, let the computer update it and then go back in and manually correct it. Hopefully that’s been fixed, but if not check for extra spaces after your data. I would think that would be cause for reconsideration.
Definitely consider the Muay Thai visa through a reputable gym endorsed by the Thai education division and just attend for the strength and cardio conditioning. You’ll feel amazing!
Jef from what I understand, you can only apply for the pay & tour card at the KBank exchange at Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok. If you know of somewhere else, please reply. Thanks.
I just got my DTV as a remote worker (search this group for my list) and I included a simple profit & loss statement from Jan 1-current, copies of business bank statements and a remote worker policy. Template is below:

I had tried to upload samples of my documents to the Files sections of this group but Admins requested I remove them due to Facebook restrictions that might jeopardize the whole group.
