Within 72 hours prior to your arrival in Thailand. You can do it at the airport on arrival if you need to. There are kiosks there to do it.

Wise. Some prefer XE, try the numbers for the amount you’re trying to do. Charges change but so will offered exchange rates.

One may be better than the other depending on the amount and currency you’re wanting to transfer.

No HCMCs fault entirely. They made the mistake.

Failure to pick up the mistake? Well how often have you written something and not realised you made a typo or transposed numbers without realising. Even after reading 3 or 4 times.

Anyone applying for a DTV will generally be ecstatic when they get it. They would very rarely go over it with a fine tooth comb, especially for a transposed passport number.

Or are you so perfect that you would never miss something like that?

FFS.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. This is something only HCMC can fix. They issued the DTV.

Normally errors on your part will mean your visa is denied, but this is an error on their part and they should fix it.

Immigration did the right thing - there’s nothing else they could do.

There is no Thai embassy in Bangkok. Not sure if you are meaning your embassy, but even if so there’s nothing they could do.

He got a reminder email which indicates he’s already done at least one online report.

Well yes. Ranong is the port where you get the speedboat to Myanmar. Kawthoung is the name of the place in Myanmar that the boat goes to.

You can try to DIY with a long tail boat but the way easier option is taking the speedboat from the Grand Andaman hotel for an all inclusive fee (which includes the speedboat, fees on the other side and return).

Seen some reports of it being accepted after the 7 days prior. Like anything here probably office dependent.
Stuart *********
Ok. I thought so. As you’ve had a reminder email you must have done one online before.

With the online system you can file again with a window of 14-7 days prior to it being due. Some offices (it gets routed to your office) may allow up until due date but seeing many reports of not being the case.

When is your due date? Not the date to apply but the due date. If it’s between 14-7 days out apply online and see what happens. If it gets rejected for whatever reason at least you have 7 days after due date to apply in person.

Are you referring to 90 day reporting (rather than extending a visa)?
