@John ********

the visa is gone and done once you enter. It's no longer relevant. The only thing that matters is the entry stamp in your passport.

@John ********

you can apply on the last day. It's only conversions from one visa type to another that can require early application normally

No, you don't wait 60 days. You wait TWO MONTHS. Whether that's 60 days or not depends on the length of the months.

If you make your deposit on the 12th of a month, you can apply on the 12th subsequently 2 months later. So February 12th means you can apply April 12th, etc.

Also, you cannot apply earlier than when you have 30 days left on your entry stamp from your non-O, though some offices allow when you have 45 days or less left.

Departure information is optional. You can leave it blank.

No one checks anything you put on the TDAC. It's just a data entry system.

You need the place where you're staying to file a TM30 when you arrive.

You'll also have to do a 90 day report at your local immigration office anytime you're in Thailand for 90 collective days. You may need a copy of your TM30 for that.

Malaysia is the worst option in SEA to apply for DTV.

Don't be surprised if they come back with another document request, either for the same documents they requested last time, or something you already sent in with your original application.

Based on reports I've read, you get an average of 3 document requests, and over a month of waiting for a DTV if applying in Malaysia.

You can try your immigration office. But there's no guarantee they'll do it.

You don't write anything. Departure information is not required. Don't touch any of the boxes and it won't be required. But as soon as you do it then becomes required.

@Toby *****

people have reported not having issues in the past. Just make sure you tell them you want you enter with your DTV.

DTV is already a multiple entry visa. You can't get a re-entry permit.

1) It means a document showing you are in the country you claim to be when filing the application. You must file through the Thai embassy where you physically are. So normally you would give the entry stamp from your passport showing that you entered the country.

2) Are you planning on going back to the UK just to file this application? If yes, then you need something with your address, like you say, bank statement, utility bill, drivers license, etc

3) You can start the application on the e-visa portal, but you cannot submit it until you're in the country you are applying through.

4) You will not be on any visa. You will be on an extension. If you do not purchase a re-entry permit your extension will become invalid when you leave Thailand.

There's no such thing as a "family business visa." So I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

Do you have a job or job offer in Thailand? Then talk to your employer as they will also need to sponsor your dependents.

Or are you asking about something else? Are your wife and children Thai? You're not giving us any information.
