Do I need to provide flight tickets and hotel bookings for a Thai DTV visa application?

Ian **********

I applied in the UK, and they asked for a flight and accommodation booking. I already had a flight booked, but I just booked an apartment that was free to cancel. I used my UK driving licence as proof of my UK residency. I rent out my home, so I couldn't provide utility bills.

@Marcels ********

Not true. I used a flight booking that was one year old and changed the dates to obtain a visa. Immigration do not have access to flight booking systems

Does my Thai wife need to fill out a TM30 form for my NON O visa and residency certificate?

Ian **********

As the property owner, she must file a TM30 report within 24 hours of your arrival. You will need a certificate of residency to open a bank account. My office in Nakhonsawan refuses to issue a CoR for bank accounts, but most offices will.

I've used onwardticket.com many times. Immigration does not have the ability to check your booking. Even another airline cannot check your booking

What are the best methods for transferring money to Thailand while managing fees?

Ian **********

It isn't always about fees. My bank will perform a SWIFT transfer for free, but they only accept transfers in Thai baht, and the exchange rate is unfavourable, so Wise still comes out ahead.
