They are visa agents. I don't think they misunderstand anything. They interface with the DLT daily.

Depends. Are you asking about getting the visa from a Thai embassy or from within Thailand? It can be tricky in Thailand if your marriage isn't already registered in Thailand.

@Greg **********

seems like two agents who specialize in getting licenses from this office are saying the same thing. I don't think it's a misunderstanding. Seems like a deliberate policy change, possibly because of these agents. I'd guess Pattaya issues more foreign licenses than anywhere else, except maybe Bangkok.
