What should I present to immigration when entering Thailand with a DTV Visa?

Paul *******

Well duh. How else is she supposed to know what visa you're on if you don't present it together with your passport?

What is the new online visa application system in Vientienne and what are the average processing times?

Paul *******

Actually, Vientiane and Savannakhet employ a hybrid system. Despite what they claim, you need to be in Vientiane or Savannakhet when applying for your visa and you will be called in for a short interview in addition to making payment in cash, in THB, in person as well.

How long does it typically take for the visa status to change from 'Pending Approval' and is an interview likely?

Paul *******

Apparently in Laos they're using a hybrid system where you everyone is interviewed meaning just staying in Laos isn't enough - you actually need to be in Vientiane (or Savannakhet) so they can see you in person.

The hybrid part is that you apply online, pay in person and will be interviewed as well but then you receive your visa via email.

Can I apply for a DTV visa from Myanmar while I am currently living in Thailand?

Paul *******

Of course your Thailand exit was digitally recorded. Thai immigration has been using computers for decades. No different to Taiwan.

Taiwan probably wanted to know that you're in the country while applying that's all.

Can tourists use TrueMoney and PromptPay QR effectively in Thailand?

Paul *******

True, although I like to point out all options that apply to foreign nationals.

I don't know much about top-up limits for TRUE Money. You seem to be quite well versed, hence your replies on this topic are quite useful.
