You could consider to rent a car, hop the border and get back. That'd be the cheapest option in your case

Anonymous participant I did mine sending both the original copy and the one gotten by using Google translate and it was fine. Perhaps you can ask the bank the give you a bank statement of your $$$ in English, almost every bank is able to do that while you keep this transactions in both languages

Anonymous participant 304 I just wanna check if the officer wrote dtv on the stamp (just above the date) or something else. By the way, I hardly believe op's name is golden she eagle...

I applied in Taipei and it's mandatory to go to the immigration office (If u are in Taipei Town it's around Xiao Nan Men) and with 100nt$ they'll give u a certificate

You can write them a mail and ask them the reason of the can I, I'm sure they'll reply as the embassy in Taipei always replied me within few hours. Keep us updated

Anonymous participant every three months you need to go to the immigration and ask for an extension. With an Ed visa you can stay in the country up to 1 year if you do all the extensions

I got my dtv with her gym and I can 1000% recommend her service. Just listen to her advice and everything will be smooth

@Degen *****

dude, you are required to be already in the country at the time of the application. It's very likely you're gonna be rejected cuz you've applied while in Thailand.

@Dany *******

do you know how much money has op carried with him/her? is that any of your problems where op gets the money? How do you know what is helpful for op or not? At the end of the day you're not bringing anything to the table, you're just blah blah blah. 1) true money allows you to transfer money digitally 2) you can pay bills online 3) you can get a domestic virtual debit card 4) you can pay your landlord by moving the money onto his/her account and so on. 5) you can pay at any stores and u can scan pay 30 times a month for free, even to private accounts. You can pay on most of local apps (Lazada. Grab, bolt and so on). Regarding your solution: non all the banks offer the reimbursement for the ATM fees, actually they are very few and it'd still cost you $$$ to open and keep a bank account (And the only thing u can do is just to withdrawal, nothing else).
