approved til 2029. I'm so happy I could cry 😂

@James ******

Are you excited or what? I know I am. I didn't receive any email clarification from the consular today which is usually a good sign that they don't need anything else. I can't wait for tomorrow, fingers crossed it's all positive. How about you, did you get anything?

I used Bangkok Bank. I provided a 6-month statement to be sure. It was accepted with no questions.

Loca is a good ride sharing app too. I was also there this morning. I forgot to secure the 10k baht before landing so I had to exchange currencies with the "agents" in umbrellas outside. Huge currency exchange loss but had no choice. Will also be waiting for results in 2 days.

Already been answered that you need to go to immigration to cancel ED. Separately, I'm in a similar situation and called the immigration hotline to ask if it is a requirement to cancel an ED visa before applying for a DTV. They confirmed that you can cancel it either before or after and you can apply for the DTV even with an active ED visa. If it will help for others to validate you may call 1178 from Thailand.

I wanted to add to this for reference of others that I called the Immigration Hotline and they confirmed that you can cancel your ED visa after your DTV is approved. It shouldn't be a problem. If it will help for others to validate you may call 1178.

That's amazing, Thank you!

Hi

, checking if you didn't get any problems with your ED visa not being cancelled yet, have you reentered?

Following for updates. Keen to know if this is a good way to go for security of the ED visa in case the DTV doesn't get approved.
