Carry the old passport with you and show both, plus the printout of the DTV visa to the airline check in and Thai immigration. They should stamp you in on your new passport. They may also make a note that your visa was issued on your previous passport (noting the passport number) if they don’t then you can get that done at an immigration office. Thereafter, you can travel with your new passport plus a copy of your old passport along with a copy of your DTV.

@Ni**

you require proof that things don’t exist? If you’d like to go to your immigration office and ask them for a list of things that aren’t regulated then I’d be interested to see their response.

Or would you rather someone else do that for you? Perhaps every rumour that is passed around should be checked with immigration? Again, I nominate you to be the one that goes and asks them. I have a short list of things you could check with them and report back to the group.

Your help is much appreciated.

Anonymous participant 895 it should be in your list of questions you ask before you sign the contract. Can you supply a copy of the TM30. If the answer is no, don’t move in there.

The company should be helping you with any potential visa switch. One of the questions you might want to ask them is how well versed they are with dealing with that. If they have a competent HR department that is used to helping new starters get the correct visa and work permit, then that would be a plus. Presumably there will be a process, like a number of meetings with them rather than one interview then 'ok you start on Monday' so I would try to schedule one of those meetings/interviews with the relevant HR staff there so that they can talk you through the process.

You’d have to do what you said in your last sentence that you don’t want to do 😊

You apply for soft power you don’t need an agent. There are many posts in this group about successful soft power applications.

You will be asked for proof that you are in Malaysia during the application. If you are in Thailand, you won't be able to provide that and your application will be denied.

You've been in Thailand for 120 days, there's no 'fixing' not having filed a 90 day report. You haven't filed one in time. If you need anything from an immigration office, and they check to see if you filed a 90 day report, they may well fine you ฿2000 because you didn't.

That's it. That's the only thing that happens. If you don't ever need anything from an immigration office before you leave the country, nothing happens.

On your next entry, count 89 days after you arrive and file a 90 day report in person. You can do that 14 days before or 7 days after that date.

Or you can just not, and pay the fine if they ask you to.

Show the 500k in your savings account and salary going in to your checking account. Merge the pdf files together and submit them like that.

If you have, then the answer should be yes. There’s no follow up question to that.
