Immigration stopped me on my 2nd year border bounce on ED visa. Told me to switch to DTV so I did. Haven’t faced any issues since.
I did ED for 2 years. You have to do an extension every 3 months (if you’re in Bangkok you’ll have to go to immigration early morning and spend the whole day there) it did however allow me to open a bank account.
I applied in Hanoi on Saturday and got approved yesterday Thursday, had 500k+ for 3 weeks prior to applying, starting balance was 300k and ending close to 600k
