Do I need to fill out another TDAC for my flight from South Korea to Thailand?

Elías ********

Korea has its own digital arrival card AND electronic travel authorization called K-ETA, but most people don't need it. It's nationality based. And if it's a connecting flight, you don't need it either.

Thailand DTAC is mandatory for everybody (non Thai passport holders), for each entry.

What should I do after submitting my 90-day report online for my DTV visa in Thailand?

Elías ********

No, not yet approved, and very likely it'll be rejected as you're supposed to do the first always offline. Either way, they'll send you another email later saying whether it was rejected or approved. If approved, then you don't need to do anything else.

Can I apply for an adult child with a disability as a dependent on my Thailand DTV visa?

Elías ********

Ask the embassy, but better don't say "adult child" or they'll get confused. He's a dependant adult with disabilities.

Is it easy to rent a condo in Thailand on a DTV visa considering the banking difficulties?

Elías ********

Even visaless tourists can rent condos. It's money-related, not immigration or visa related. And, needless to say, also totally legal.

Can I apply for a long-term visa for Thailand if I have no immediate travel plans?

Elías ********

No, I'm talking about DTV. The Embassy website literally says to do not ask a DTV if your intended entry is beyond 3 months in the future. As a matter of fact, you can see here people who wrote their applications were denied because they applied like in August or September for soft power courses starting in January.

Elías ********

why? 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 because that's what the official embassy website says. So, you'll need to deceive and tell them you're coming within 3 months. Not a good start for a visa.
