To clarify, are you asking if you can get a DTV through the language program or are you asking if you can enroll in the language program if you are already on the DTV? I think there are different responses to this.

Hi, thanks for sharing. Want to confirm that when I did this I wasn't asked to leave the country. I assume this is the case for you too? I found the stamp though a bit problematic. It didn't have any "Cancelled" stamp but just a stamp in Thai that when roughly translated says "the original visa has expired due to departure on (date), violating the permission conditions". Technically nothing was violated because there was a reentry permit but maybe that's the only way to cancel.

My questions:

1) Did you have an explicit "cancelled" stamp?

2) Did we have the same stamp which if you translate says "violation" and that should be okay and perhaps is the only way to do it if we did?

Did this and the school said that the enrollment to the course was related to the ED visa and was told that I can not attend anymore. Yes it doesn't make sense because the tuition goes to the school and it's something I can push harder on, didn't plan to though as I didn't plan to continue attending anymore.

Did #2 without agent and by following and researching a lot of posts in this group. Search Vientiane and you have a wealth of information. You can do it, I believe in you!

@Matthias *******

this is the second time I've seen your post. Please stop spreading misinformation. The DTV is not exempt from 90 day reporting. This is a frequently asked question and i dont see the answer changing anytime soon.

Of course, just didn't see that in the question but good to point out.

The DTV does not indicate what category you got it for, at least the passport sticker one. So doesn't matter.

@Kevin ******

yes.

@Abbey *****

yeah, pick a consulate nearby. Good luck!

Applied and got approved with Non ED. Not sure if the same will apply to Non O. However, upon entering, the DTV was what was used. Not the other one. I'm not sure you can choose which one to use. Your DTV is valid from the time it is approved so it I don't see why you will wait til 2025 to use it.
