Why was my DTV application approved as a multiple tourist visa instead?

John **********

Chances are they deemed that a sufficient visa to satisfy the requirements you provided when you applied. Nothing you can do about it in my view

What steps can I take if Bangkok Bank is refusing to return my money after three months?

John **********

@Dana *********

your account is probably being investigated as a mule account in that case. Quite distinct from dtv accounts being frozen. It will likely take as long as it takes, particularly if the bank person you paid is under suspicion of opening many accounts this way.

Can I extend my Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at Samut Prakan Immigration?

John **********

In theory its possible but not straightforward so you might find it simpler to just do a border bounce. I'm not sure about Samut Prakan specifically but generally immigration offices want to see all of your information updated to the present time and 500k baht in your bank for the last 30 days.

How can I qualify for the DTV visa using an annuity, and what are the requirements for dependents?

John **********

Anonymous participant if you apply using soft power they do like to see how you support yourself so the annuity would be useful for that. But it won't help you get a DTV based on remote work
