I know 😄😅😂 I never said that the TDAC is a visa

@Bent ************

you missed to read my reply. Three people told him he doesn't need a visa, and I told him that he might need a TDAC if he enters after May 1st

@Robert *******

you show the printed E-Visa.pdf document upon entry into Thailand. You will get stamped in for a 90-days "Stay Permit". And the visa itself will become invalid (it is only good to use for ONE entry). You can apply for a "1-year Extension of this Stay Permit" based on the reason this Non-O visa got issued for, on Immigration, if you fulfill the requirements

@Darren ********

wow, and you know this firsthand because some Immigration officer told you so? Or an agent? Or some guy sipping a Chang beer next to you?

@Kevin ******

try your Immigration. It's an open playfield

@Bent ************

the question about the visa was already answered by 3 others. However they forgot to mention the TDAC. That's why I added this very crucial information. Incomplete replies need a completion 😉

@John *********

I agree, too. Yet, it remains to be seen . . . . . . The DTV is NOT mentioned in the police order describing the "change of visa type" to a 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa, unless you define "tourist visa" regarding EVERY tourist visa class. Until now. I yet haven't read or heard about a DTV being used for the change (number 9 in the list). The police order requires you to start with a visa-exempt, with a tourist visa or a transit visa. The DTV is not mentioned. It remains to be seen if Immigrations will interpret it accordingly and accept such a change

as long as you can prove that the account is in your name, for the DTV application the bank account can be anywhere, not need to be in your home country. And it needs to show a minimum of 500,000 THB equivalent in any currency. Some embassies want to see a seasoning of 3 months, some others want to see 6 months account balance statements, some others just want to see the money in the account on the day of application

@Elías *******

that's right, you just have to show it in your bank account. However, some embassies want to see a seasoning of 3 months, some others want to see 6 months account balance statements
