yes that then.

I've had this happen to me when I applied for a regular multiple entry tourist visa. Luckily the fee was just $35. I forgot how could I have made this mistake but if I recall , there's two fields for the type of document, and I selected the wrong value in one of them.

In the sense that embassy officers can clearly see which document type it is, really sucks they can't just ignore that one field.

saw some news that BTS/MRT is closed until tomorrow until they can assess structural damage. So staff might have issues traveling for work. With that said, staying in, when shops decide to be open isnt going to help anyone. Traffic might be a b*tch tho.

@Thomas *******

some people think they are working for Thai immigration office.

Anonymous participant 402 imho coming up with the DTV was "dumb" in terms of monetization. Why wouldn't they keep the current METV and people would have to pay the visa fee every few months.

@Paul ******

I'm not claiming any other privilege beyond a hypothesis that I don't get asked anything at the immigration control at the airports because of race+passport.

Chinese from China imho get a bad rap with Thais - loads of Chinese coming through with call center scams in the news.

“VERY CLEAR 90 day extension” you must mean reporting?

@Mark ******

female. But - I'm chinese and could pass for Thai-Chinese. And I have a US passport. So there could be a double whammy of passport and race privilege ;)

@Mark ******

it's speculation. I did my DTV in sept, and 2 weeks ago I flew back from Bali into DMK no questions asked. Soft power DTV.

Then again, mine is but an anedoctal evidence.

@Fleace *******

absolutely not all tourists are seen the same, on color or passport - that's the unfortunately reality.

While I'm asian (even pass for Thai-Chinese) my passport is USA.
