Did you show the customs officer the DTV PDF printout?

I remember you were rejected in Hanoi, where did you apply the second time?

I once had a problem with not canceling my ED visa and then wanted to fly back home. At the Bangkok airport, the female customs officer completely freaked out and started yelling at me. She then disappeared into the backroom and came back, cursing and screaming. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes, and in the end, she somehow canceled my visa. As you can imagine, I won't forget this. I can't say whether a non-cancelled ED visa will affect your DTV application, but as a precaution, I properly canceled my ED visa before applying for my DTV visa. I think that's the proper process.

Congratulations. I wish you so much fun for the next 5 years 🎉🥳

Cancel your travel plans and stay in Pakistan until you receive your visa. When you enter Thailand, you must complete the TDAC, which may be viewed by the consulate officials. They will then know that you are no longer in Pakistan but in Thailand, and this could cause problems. In the worst case, they might even reject your visa application

Go to your school and ask for the cancellation documents for your ED visa. Then go to your local immigration office and properly cancel your ED visa on the date you leave. After that, you can apply for the DTV visa outside of Thailand.

Of course, it's a problem. When I was invited to an interview in Laos, they specifically asked where I live and where my Muay Thai gym is. Since it's only a 10-minute motorbike ride away, it was accepted.

In which consulate and in which country would you like to apply for the DTV visa?

Don't imagine the interview as if you were applying for a CEO position at a major bank. They're very nice and polite and just want to get to know you so they know who they're giving a five-year visa to.

Which visa does he actually want to use to return to Thailand? Working on a tourist visa is not permitted, so he gets several red flags
