Ok as the chances of anyone in this group having a kidney transplant 18 years ago is 0.01%, I suggest you contact an agent who can advise you the best policy, more importantly one that will accept you with such a pre existing condition. Contact
I also can’t see it, not gunna happen, immigration got too much on their plates already, but on the 1% chance of it happening the people/visa they will go after first will be DTV. There are less variables for them to deal with, whereas Non O for example there are many (marriage, retirement, dependent etc), add to this the 2 types of Non O (O and OA), whereas DTV is DTV.
correct the Non-B extension is the only one that requires to show tax paid, has been for decades, no other visa requires this including the DTV (yet). If the revenue department do decide to up the tempo and tax other visa types naturally it will be DTV holders next. Some experts believe the DTV was designed to be a tax trap, which would make sense.
I’m not buying this story, sorry. Only entered/exited 2 times in 1 year, immediately got on a plane back to the UK without heading to the nearest embassy to get a visa, embassy advising which visa should apply for, informs OP they are on immigration blacklist .. I smell troll post.
yes that’s the only downside, the visa, need to add 1,200 baht to the flight, but still works out cheaper than KL, 7,000 to 8,000 return if KL, Phnom Penh 4,000 to 5,000 depending on times.
another option is Phnom Penh, half the flight time and cheaper, good timings, leave Bkk 08:30, returning flight 14:00, back in Bkk by 15:20. Can be booked as a return flight (1 ticket). Did it a few weeks ago and will be doing it again next week.
