agree or as a screenshot in your mobile in case of a difficult IO but since tdac that in itself is stream-lining the process for faster entry not just for DTV holders but everyone.
The tdac process allows Immigration to reject in advance the “baddies”, so they can’t even arrive in Thailand. Tdac is probably one of the best things they have come up with. Like everything it’s probably not 100% but looks to be a winner.
So Dubai is not as wonderful as it is made to be then🤔
Interesting to read how difficult in can be for some nationalities and jurisdictions just to obtain a DTV !
Only 35k approved is a drop in the Ocean, I thought they would have 60-80k approvals by now. Time they made the whole process more straightforward & allow DTV holders a special fast track and friendly approval for local bank accounts etc.
Making excuses that holders will be up to no good, concentrate on weeding out the real criminals that have been hiding in Thailand for decades!
They always over complicate things, forgetting there is serious competition from other countries like Vietnam & China is the biggest treat now, with easier applications and of course, very high tech environments, for example..Shenzhen is the City of the future, which is attracting a lot of digi nomads etc
You can apply anywhere that most convenient to you, any Country that has a Thai embassy/consulate. Obviously you cannot apply from within Thailand
500k ideally in the account for a month of two, most important will be the most recent balance that must be a minimum of 500k THB or equivalent in a personal/savings account.
Just give them your passport, they already know you have a DTV from your online tdac, no need for printed visa, nice little laminated cards etc Just your passport, of course you maybe questioned if you look a bit shady or you dress inappropriately.🤷🏾♀️
sorry don’t agree, the process is very simple to understand if one reads all the requirements and procedures, also reading these forums and carrying out due diligence. If you carefully fill in the online forms and submit the correct paperwork etc, you should be processed within 7-10 working days approx.
Who wants to waste time having an interview, they usually call people for interviews to check if they are still in the country or want to look a bit further into the applicant. Anyway up to the individual, keep it all simple.
