Anonymous participant for hubby took 5 days only excluding weekends..for me due to Xmas and weekends took 9 days but I got it a day after I reentered Thailand luckily given visa exempt for 60 days. So now I need to go out and reenter to activate it..just waiting for hubby to recover dullu from bronchitis which he got during the trip back from CHMC..for.eoca they only asked hubby's most recent bank account balance up to the date that they send the request, nothing else for me as dependent..
Anonymous participant we are Canadian too and have here and there, having been here in Thailand in and out for a few years prior to dtv. We went to CHMC to apply for our dtv and hubby got approved and mena few days later after reentering Thailand. So it's not complicated it's just a bit confusing on what to declare as your permanent address..for us since still have.properties in Canada we just used one that is in our drivers license and put in HCMC hotel as current location.
