Anonymous participant so basically you lied about your location on your application. I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope for success.

@Dca ****

the people who said they were on ED visa but got another visa outside of Thailand were not on a visa at all but on an extension of stay. Those on valid visas (such as the METV) have been refused visas by Thai consulates and told to wait until the visa expired, the same will be true for the DTV. No way to get another visa from a consulate so it will be essential that the company they wish to work for supplies the paperwork to convert the visas at an immigration office inside Thailand. I can't see any way out of that.

Revolut now has a restricted banking licence so still not a full bank

Inconsistency across immigration offices is not unique to the DTV. Every office has its idiosyncrasies

As long as you can get *instant* access to the 800k even if that means you have to pay a penalty such as loss of interest

They are not banks so the answer is maybe, it will depend on whether the embassy you apply via will accept them. There was a report yesterday of Thai immigration refusing to accept Wise for an extension to the DTV

@Mat *****

He won't be able to apply for a new visa anywhere other than at an immigration office inside Thailand where he could apply to change visas

Visas generally can't be cancelled, you either use them or not. As the DTV is based on tourism it is possible to change it to another type of visa inside Thailand at an immigration office, just as you can for a normal tourist visa or visa exempt entry.

You must be in the country you apply from and remain in that country until the process completes

they just came to check you live where you said you live, nothing more
