What should my bank provide for my DTV visa application after the embassy requested additional documentation?

Paul *******

It should be a statement ideally, and you can usually generate an updated balance sheet as well. Submit both.

Why? You just send them your statement from your internet or phone banking. No one stamps anything anymore, especially not bank statements.

Can I get a Thai driving license and buy a motorcycle with a DTV visa?

Paul *******

1. Yes

2. Yes - but Vietnam generally requires a tour. Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore are the destinations for which you have free reign on a Thai registered bike or car.

What has been your experience with re-entering Thailand on a DTV visa after a short trip abroad?

Paul *******

He spent a week outside the country. Anyone who is genuine and spends a few days outside the country, shouldn't have any issues re-entering.

I can't imagine they wouldn't do an eyesight test in Krabi though as that is literally done everywhere and I've done it in multiple locations around the country over the years. All 4 tests take a combined 5 minutes or less.

Same elsewhere. I got my 2 licenses renewed in an hour and my 3 IDPs took another hour but only because of having to get more photos and photocopies done.

Usually, they would have all 4 tests at any location but again, 3 out of these are basically eyesight tests.
