You and your "partner" are neither related nor considered each other's next of kin. Not possible.

Nice story but it would have been even smoother if you had printed out the PDF of the visa.

I wouldn't worry about as it doesn't actually change anything. You would still have to get a new passport well before December 2029. Likely 6 months before.

There's nothing to do. I've reentered 5 times already and always get a new 180 day stamp. I don't stay more than a month in Thailand.

That's interesting. I've never been asked for anything. Which airport did you land at?

People better stop applying in Tokyo lol. Seeing a lot of METVs from there.

@Kool ******

Correct, Thailand, unlike the Philippines, collects biometrics, meaning your face and fingerprints will hit to the same individual, regardless of what passport he or she carries. That's what people mean when they say "everything is in the computer". What do you think they take your fingerprints for at the airport? For fun?

@Greg *******

"new one" because OP is viewing information from a bogus website! It is NOT true! The dead give away is the so-called "passport countries" which purports that only some cherry-picked nationalities are eligible for the DTV. It's false. I'm not in that list of countries but I got my DTV without issues.

Anonymous participant That's NOT the official website for the DTV!! That website claims some countries are not eligible for the DTV which is NOT true! Source: I'm from one of the African countries omitted in that website, but guess what: I got the DTV! Also, my employer is in another country which is not my home country. Also, my bank account is NOT in my home country. But I was still approved!

So, you paid an agency for that? LOL
