Ahh I see. Good to know. That might just be the case. 👍

AirAsia.

Or perhaps it might just be whoever might be on duty at the airline counter that day. Haha. Anyway, for the Malaysia trip, it was also AirAsia that asked.

@Paul ******

yea. Sticker visa (walk-in in Taipei)

@Paul ******

Yea. I was surprised. My entire family is holding DTV (dependants) too.

But I'm glad it wasn't that big a deal since they were ok after I point out the 5-year date on the DTV sticker.

After having the DTV, I travelled in and out of Thailand twice. First to Malaysia, then to Taiwan, and both times, I was asked about outbound air tickets when I checked in with the airline counter. However, after I explained that the DTV is a 5 year visa of up to 180 days per entry, they were ok with it.

You need a passport with validity not less than 6 months and contain at least ONE completely empty visa page.

Yeah, this is so legit! When I was filling out the form for my kid, I accidentally wrote the wrong year for the passport issue date. Luckily, I caught the mistake in time and ended up rewriting a new form! 😅

Congrats, and thanks for sharing your success story in Taipei!

Since you applied for the DTV along with your dependents' applications all at once, did you need to provide four separate sets of bank statements?

Btw, if the current month’s statement isn’t available yet when applying at the end of the month, how do you handle it? Do you screenshot transactions from the bank app (even without name and address) or print an earlier statement? Is it better to print on the day of the appointment, or is a few days before fine?

Thank you so much!

ahh I see. Good to know. Thanks!

I'm thinking of trying to get a car driving license during a 60 days visit to Thailand, though not sure if that is possible as some agents listed that a minimum of 60days remaining on the visa is required, and a wait of 1 - 2 months for appointment is anticipated.

Thanks for sharing!
