Yes, of course. They are separate visas. I completed a one year Ed visa and was approved for DTV recently 🙏🏻

@Greg *******

the OP is asking for advice on the easiest approval method. Soft power applications such as with Muay Thai documents appear to be more straight forward and less likely to be asked for additional documents provided from a credible legitimate source. There are less variables open to interpretation.

Also there is nothing in the future to prevent using DTV for the workcation route or vice versa from what I understand once DTV is approved. This is another reason why this visa is a fantastic option for many.

Thanks, I received mine earlier this month but have friends applying there soon so will look out. 🙏🏻

Jakarta moving to e-Visa on 22nd of this month? As in 4 days time?

Your Ed visa will be automatically cancelled when you exit Thailand unless you obtain a re-entry permit.

I previously asked similar, here:

Anonymous participant so you're applying via soft power - music festival or just asking online about this option, less than 24 hour before you apply 🤔?

A consulate would never approve a passport that has already expired. Even if you did enter this incorrect past date then visa should not be processed. Unlikely to be an issue entering the Kingdom but better to contact the consulate to advise them so you have it on record - sooner the better.

@Travelling *******

If I recall I brought a letter from immigration to open a bank and took this and my passport. It was straight forward.

Each bank has different stipulations as many have previously said so I would just continue trying.

- Krungthai had no problem opening an account for me previously with only an Ed visa.
