Do you think the DTV will ensure you can progress other items such as Bank Account, renting an apartment - I hope some rental places will consider 6 months lets Vs 1 year or I can rent 1 year and find others to use the times a long term place is empty - 100% want to comply with all the rules. Will be in Phuket early October, appreciate any advice. will you use Phuket as your long term DTV base ?

thanks hope if have an appointment will take about 30-45 mins ? Is there a recommended place to make small photos ? Machine/booth onsite there ? Assume can travel on train most of way to derisk delay with rod traffic. Many thanks
