The I know it all brigade on FB who tell you it's not possible to get the DTV visa on studying Thai language and say you have to get an ED Visa, their knowledge of things is wanting. As far as I'm aware, which is what the know alls should of said. there is an age max., of 49 years to get an ED Visa, therefore if this is correct then the only route for long term visa for studying the Thai language is the DTV route. Learning is learning, whether it's Muay Thai, Thai cooking, scuba diving, or any other form of education, including learning Thai language with a genuine company that is registered with the Thai business registered government department.

George when I lived in Udon Thani I used Nong Khai, Laos border on very many occasions. As you say, when I applied for my Laos visa at the border I can honestly say I never waited more then about ten minutes to get my passport back with my Laos visa. Indeed I reckon it took me longer filling out the form than it did getting my passport back. On one occasion I was suffering from a viral infection and the Laos IO saw I wasn't well and he put my passport to the front of the queue. I got it back in less than five minutes. That's compassion for you.

Question ❓ When you present your DTAC to immigration in Thailand do you have to have internet connection, or can you fill in the digital form in your country, then save it as a PDF. So it can be seen offline by immigration when you arrive. Just asking.

Yes, but with what visa or status in Thailand, you didn't say.

In the UK you have to be long term resident I believe to open a bank account. It's all about criminality. Having said that, I'd of thought with the internet there would be a worldwide system of checking individuals credibility. Not rocket science.

Really, I know nothing about Thailand. Well how about living there from 1998 to 2009.

Scan anything you need with your phone's scan app., then if your pc has Bluetooth copy to your pc. If your pc doesn't have Bluetooth connect to pc with usb cable, once your pc recognises your phone open the phone in My Computer or such like, then open the phones storage and find the scans and copy and paste them to your pc.

Exactly the poster says you cannot open a bank account on a three month visa. The only three month visa as such is a non-'O', which is a visa for those wishing to stay for retirement purposes. If you enter with a non-'O', or change your visa to one and produce a certificate of residency from Thai immigration then you should be able to open a bank account.

Oh! right so it's foreigners that are corrupt so Thai authorities are stamping it out 😂😂😂😂😂😂. What are you smoking?
