well, but a DTV first needs to be cancelled by the Thai embassy that issued it. Thai Immigration cannot cancel a visa or a stay permit that wasn't issued by them

@Marianne *******

"change of visa type" as mentioned on every Immigration form, are from two types of "touristic" entries only: from the single entry 60-days tourist visa, or from the visa-exempt entry. Nowhere is mentioned that you can do the "change of visa type" from an Elite Privilege Visa or from a DTV to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-Visa

airline chek-in with Thai passportm no onward travel proof needed, exit UK with Thai passport, enter Thailand with Thai passport

@Kay *******

you might need this account, because since recently, some Immigration offices have started to require a few transfers from abroad from applicants who use the embassy income affidavit. You need to ask your Immigration office what their current policy is

@Ellie ******

some Immigrations have changed their policies against applicants who use the income affidavits of their embassies. They now additionally require that the applicant has a Thai bank account, and can show a few transfers having come into it from abroad . . . . . The OP should URGENTLY ask "his" Immigration if they require a Thai bank account, additional to the embassy affidavit

@Martin ******

he applied for a Tourist Visa and thought it would get him stamped in for 90 days

@Mark *******

not even in this case would a tourist visa whitewash the fact that you used "touristic entries" for a longstay in Thailand. It doesn't make any difference - both the visa-exemptions and tourist visas get scrutinized if used "too many times" in a row

these numbers on the website should include the word "equivalent"

@Jan *****************

the exchange rate of today doesn't match these numbers, so I would only touch it with a pair of golden tweezers. He can however do the math himself on how many GBP will equal the minimum of 800,000 THb in today's exchange rate

@Gary *******

the 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa is valid for use for a single entry within three months counted from the date of issue. This will be noted on the .pdf visa document under "visa must be used by" and the date
