doesn’r really matter mate. It is at the discretion of the individual IO, so the same situation can be treated differently by different IOs. If she has already done two visa free entries in same calendar year, the safest option is to simply get a tourist visa.

Each embassy normally has an SLA on their web site. Go look.

PastelParsnip8198 i think the increasing use of biometric scans on entry, exit and visa applications is making connections between different passports held by same person, whereas they never made such connections before.

Yes i am a dual citizen, and o have used both passports many times over the years in Thailand and never been questioned in it until earlier this year. The IO did not wantvto admit me, which was ridiculous, so eventually was interviewed by senior officer. He was quite aggressive at first, but I pushed back quite firmly, explaining that I had done nothing wrong, and had never hidden having two passports, at different stages having held long-term visas on each, so why the big heat now ? They would not give me an answer but did chill and relax a bit when i pushed back at them. Eventually I told them i needed and wanted two (needed - because i travel a lot, and in my old job used to cover 2,3 even 4 countries a week) and wanted - because if i ever lose or damage one, I have back-up.

It was weird, because they suddenly just relaxed and said no problem and let me through. Never been queried again since.

I assume you informed Jskarta Embassy re you already holding a visa, when you applied for DTV ? It is a standard question. If you did, they will cancel it if they approve the DTV.

You can get your licence in SS, but it will only be valid to drive in SS. There is a microchip in the licence that is a transmitter, and as soon as you exit SS it will send your location to the police, who will then arrest you, take your vehicle and make you walk back to SS.

@Roberto *****

exactly what i do. I rely on Thai banks as little as possible.

go to the Thai evisa site not the embassy site. I have used it many times. It is not award winning software but it does work and i have alway found it to be available. The main pain in the arse is compeessing docs to fit in with the size limitations, but pdf them usually works.

When you are registered and create a new application just keep saving it step by step so that you do not have to start from scratch again if it crashes.

This is the link

@Raymond ********

I know. That is why i said about needing an agent initially to get the visa.

Anonymous participant which embassy was that ??
