Thailand gov websites aren’t known for their accuracy, or updates. I also got an IDP 3 weeks ago. Again the DLT website says non O visa as a requirement.

People who bypass the retirement visa financials do it by under the table deals via agents. Mine was done directly by myself at the DLT. Maybe the requirements have changed for EV.

Anyway, irrelevant to the OP 😅

I got 5 year last renewal at bangchak DLT, bkk 👍

@Pete ******

or Elite.

@John *********

it’s a 5 year multi entry visa.

@Jim *******

right, but DTV holders have a 5 year multi entry visa for Thailand. They could live in Thailand for the full term, with visa runs. To get a uk IDP you must apply in person in the uk. That’s a big diversion to drive in Japan.

They should issue a 5 year license (after the initial 2 year) to DTV holders.

I enjoy watching him rant now and again. Certainly wouldn’t engage his company for any paid legal services.

the airport immigration aren’t concerned with 90day reports. They don’t check for it, and once you’ve re-entered it’s reset, it’s not an issue. That being said, I do do my 90 day reports, just to save any potential issues.

Unless you need to visit immigration for some reason don’t worry about it this time. When you go do a border run it’ll reset. If you go to immigration you’ll be fined 2k.

“He suggested that a condition be introduced, stipulating that foreigners who have already stayed in Thailand for 180 days should be ineligible for the DTV visa.”

Trying to railroad people into renewing their elite visa! Nice tactic 🫣
