The DTV can only be applied for out of thailand not within the country so no agents can help. If they say they can it is not true. You need to apply yourself, suggest you for online to see the requirements in the country you are applying from

An agent will advise you to go for a retirement visa whether that is the best option or not. An agent cannt help with a DTV so will not make any money from you. A DTV can only be applied for outside of thailand so.no agent can help.

@John *****

you can until the guy who stamps you in doesn't let you any longer. There is no official limit although I am sure if it looked like you were trying to live in thailand on visa exempt then you would be pulled aside and spoken to

@John *****

thailand increased its visa exemption from 30 days to 60days in July, this is not a visa. As a USA citizen you can use the 60 day visa exemption it costs nothing and then if you want to stay an extra 30days you can if you get the extension for 1900 baht.

hi josh when you get to Gatwick airport you check in to your destination which is bangkok, this will make sure your bags are transfered to the correct flight in dubai, you will get 2 boarding cards at check in for both legs of your journey. You don't need to worry about your bags until you land and collect them in bangkok. You don't need any visa for dubia as you are still in the airport, when you land in dubai follow transfers to your next gate , there are plenty of notice boards showing your flight to bangkok. When you go through transfers there is another security check but nothing special. No documents other than your boarding card is needed I.e. the one you got when you checked in at Gatwick Airport. When you land go straight to the gate then once you have found it chill 😎 ready to board

Who are you flying with to dubai? If it's emirates and you are booked from Gatwick to bangkok then all your bags will automatically be transferred to your dubai to bangkok flight no need to pick up. When you land in dubai just go to transfers which will take you to your connection gate.

the uk 6 month visa is a multi entry visa, you will.need to.apply for a separate schengen visa after you have got your uk visa. Once you have your uk visa then it's easier to get the schengen visa.

you need both the uk sim.and the thai sim in the phone at the same time to receive texts from the uk
