What are the recent updates and requirements for extending a DTV visa in Phuket?

Biff *******

Your last paragraph mentions frustration that things are not consistently applied. The entire country is structured like that. It’s not done accidentally either.

It’s something anyone living in Thailand will need to get used to.

Can I obtain a residence certificate with a DTV visa?

Biff *******

excuse me? Your comment is indeed helpful, if the person is in Bangkok. Why do you feel the need to be so rude?

What do I need for a border run with a DTV visa in Thailand?

Biff *******

Anonymous participant 419 proximity would make sense and yet, some people report spending hours in a van and paying twice the cost of a flight.

What should I know about applying for a DTV extension in Phuket, especially regarding the application fee and possible denial?

Biff *******

I think you’re confusing two different processes. Applying for a visa from an embassy or consulate, fees are non refundable, they are ‘processing fees’ not visa fees.

Applying for an extension in an immigration office, fees are paid when they give you the extension.

Biff *******

Do you live near a land border? I’m curious as to why people choose land borders over airports.

What are the current visa extension requirements and issues for expats in Thailand, particularly regarding bank statements?

Biff *******

Luke you seem to think that there’s a connection between immigration and banks. There is no ‘they’ that can change bank policy to match what people on a certain kind of visa would like.

Thai banks aren’t interested in your difficulties at immigration.

What does it mean if I receive a request for my full-page entry stamp from Laos during my visa application process?

Biff *******

I think they sent you that request first because it's a basic requirement without which they will not process your application further. Basically, they're not even going to look at it until they know you're in the country.

What are the pros and cons of using prepaid cards like Moreta Pay and TrueMoney in Thailand?

Biff *******

I just received a reply to my email asking if there’s an online top up facility and the answer was no. Currently the only top up for the card associated with this app is at a Kasikorn Bank foreign exchange booth.

I have further asked if that means on,y cash, or if foreign cars can be used to do that.

Waiting for their reply.

What should DTV visa holders know about re-entering Thailand?

Biff *******

@Irina ***

That’s exactly the function of an immigration officer. Their job is to do that. They’re not ‘playing god’ they’re being an immigration officer.
