@Dave ********

can report from the 76th day on. No need to wait until the last day.

Did you come back by plane or by land/train? That's not related to the DTV, just asking out of curiosity.

So the visa was approved first, and then the approval was "undone"? 😱

Does the passport name will change? If you don't change it on the passport, even if you change your local national ID Card, your international name would still be the same.

No, nothing like that

Hua Hin

That's NOT a visa on arrival, which in fact is not available for UK citizens. You're talking about a visa waiver/visa exemption.

Entering first on that and then going out to apply for the DTV wouldn't matter, just remember you CAN'T apply from within Thailand.

Will you go back to the UK to apply or would you try to get it at a neighboring country?

I always check before leaving the counter, but in my case, one of the "perks" 😂 from being from a country that cannot enter visa free, is that they'd never stamp a 60-day stamp on my passport.

Yes, never. Most remote workers won't need to do it. I've been here for over a year already, and only had to do it once.

Nothing, based on my experience.
