Participant anonyme 674 It seems logical IF he didn't go class anymore. The contract when given this visa is to follow the courses during your stay. This is the problem when applying with soft power. You'll have to buy course every time you enter OR take the risk to get denied entry.

Participant(e) anonyme This is not so sure dude. Many DTV holders reported on this group that IO wanted to see a valid course when re-enter the country. Which make sense. You can't apply for a 5 years visa and only attend to 6 months course...

lol an other active member of ASEANOW forum here 😆

Ken Germann Sorry but What you say makes no sense.. Explain to me please, 1- Why did they design a visa with only 6 month per entry if this is a long stay visa ? 2- Why the ministry of tourism said clearly it is still a type of tourist visa ? 3- Why you don't have any privilege like other long term visa, like opening a bank account ? or get a 5 year driving license ? The truth is there was a loophole for some time when people didn't know if it was allwed to stay almost all year long in Thailand. A representative of the ministry of tourism clarified this. But clearly DTV was NOT created to be a NON O or RESIDENT visa.

I don't think like you. The DTV visa is initially designed for people that want to spend up to 6 months per year in thailand. It will not be suspicious to be out of Thailand for an extended period of time. Instead It will bring more scrutinity if you exit and enter the same day, just to reinitiate the countdown. (even if this is allowed to do this)

Hi, send a screenshot with current balance + dates of the last transactions.

why don't you apply right away for DTV if you meet the requirments ? and skip the tourist visa.

Participant(e) anonyme ignore this troll mate, he comment every publication in mean way because his hemorrhoids hurts 😕

that is a very good news, congratulations. It is hard to understand their schedules. That probably means some consular agents are working from home.

@Sean ******
