How should I fill out my DTV application if my passport has only my full name under 'given name'?

Ian **********

Good question. I think his passport is faulty. When I renewed my British passport in Bangkok they made me check each field was correct and sign to that effect before cancelling my old passport.

Do I need to submit a printed TDAC for my visa extension application in Thailand?

Ian **********

@Michael *******

You are correct that was the government's plan but the dinosaurs at ground level have a reputation of preferring stuff printed off. Somebody recently posted about doing a border bounce with DTV and he had to have two copies of everything.

What are the best options for booking onward tickets and applying for a DTV in Thailand?

Ian **********

onwardticket.com $14 it is valid for 48 hours, so buy just before you fly, although I doubt anyone would check if it's valid. Buy the ticket for travel within the initial 60 days

Do I need a fresh TM30 for my next 90-day report after returning to Thailand, and can I submit it online?

Ian **********

It depends on what type of visa you have. Did you obtain a re-entry permit when you left, or did you return on a new visa? If you returned with a re-entry permit, then your TM30 is still valid as long as you return to the same address.
