AuthenticPassionfruit644 TM30 can be done online by the owner of the property where you stay, so no need to travel to immigration.

@Lee *******

Normally in 99 percent or so there will be no questions, but of course there will be some people questioned.

That just is the normal job of immigration officers.

They should check if people entering comply with the conditions, DTV is not an exception on that.

So I don't understand why you suggest the people who get questioned are not speaking the truth because you are not questioned.

@Pete ******

I think it topicstarter does not want to have a dependant visa, but wants to use the bank account he shares with his mother to apply for himsef a DTV. I think some embassies might accept that, but then want double the money on the account.

@Julien *****

visa will not be transferred, you need old and new passport at every entry during the remaining validity of the visa.

@Julien *****

But the old passport has to be shown because the DTV is linked to that.

I see no problems, Thai officers wil understand the old one has to be damaged.

Anonieme deelnemer 375 When you are retired, why not choose for a retirement visa?

Since you tell you already bounced 3 times to me it looks like you live in Thailand, so the inflexibility of having to extend a retirement visa each year in country should not be a problem for you.

I am sure chances to get checked are less than a percent, and for that small chance it is good to be prepared.

They can ask for the visa requirements, appointments in your case will be OK.

They also can ask for 500K, but that is more difficult also for them, so chances they ask are low.

Anonieme deelnemer Just get the maximum amount from ATM each time and the fee is just about one percent, nothing to be worried about.

@Jared ********

With Wise you can get cash at ATM, cash is accepted almost everywhere in Thailand. I don't see the problem.

Anonieme deelnemer 334 When you get a broken leg or other serious accident the insurance is better, when you not get an accident the insurance money is wasted.

When you do not stay too long travel insurance might be the best, but a lot of people here seem to use DTV as a kind of residence visa.
