dependents can only apply by giving the DTV visa number of the family member who was approved. Per some consulate sites I've read, the dependent can use the proof of funds of a family member by submitting documents proving the relationship between them.
If you use Bolt or InDrive, you don't have to go to the Grab pickup spot and you just tell the driver which terminal door you are at and they come to you. Just did it yesterday. Also Bolt and InDrive are often far cheaper than Grab so no idea why people keep using Grab. My ride from the airport was quoted at 565 baht in Grab, 264 baht in Bolt, and 299 baht in InDrive.
ah that's the only other airport I forgot to name that has any statistical likelihood for issues. USM (Samui), URT (Suratthani) and other small airports don't seem to have such incidents reported. I think I read one from Samui in the past few years.
I would disagree. There are far more reports of people being denied at BKK and DMK, and to some extent, HKT (Phuket), compared to almost no reports of denials through the smaller international airports.
is that really the case? Wouldn't one visa simply cancel the other one out? So for example, someone with an elite visa that is expiring later this year could not apply for a DTV visa until the elite visa has expired, to replace the elite visa?
It's not really an issue for Canadian citizens. A drivers licence or utility bill is typically enough. They are more concerned when someone has a passport nationality that differs from their location.
