@Abdulghani *****

It’s not false information. Try going in to your bank and letting them know you’re on a DTV and see what happens.

Anonym deltagare 683 Maybe you enjoy paying 220 thb + fee from your bank just to access your own money, but most don’t. Many Cards have a limit of anywhere between €200 to €500 per withdrawal, so you’ll need plenty of withdrawals. Over the course of 5 years these fees adds upp.

@John *********

Someone who is allowed to stay 5 years in a country should be allowed to have a bank account.

What documents are needed to extend a DTV at Pattaya Immigration?

Jon **********

You need at least the exact same documentation you has when you applied. So if that was for muay thai for example, you need to show courses for another 6 months. It’s much less hazzle to take a flight somewhere and return the same day.

Should I apply for a DTV visa myself or through an agency while transitioning from an ED visa in Thailand?

Jon **********

I was also quoted insane prices from some agents, I think the most expensive one was 150k thb. Will see if I can find a screen shot of that. I did it myself in the end.

Haven't seen any reports about it, but it wouldn't surprise me if this will be a requirement in the future.
