@John ******

they mean can you apply in UK consulate without being in the UK if documents are uploaded and the DTV visa is a page they download and doesn’t require giving your passport for a stamp like a Tourist Visa.

@Flukie *****

correct it not come from a local bank, as you’re supposed to apply for this visa before being in Thailand. If you’re earning income into a Thai bank, you’re probably on a non-b visa already

Wish it was possible to go from tourist to non-b 😅

@Kwong ****

that’s not what I said. You absolutely need a visa BEFORE you fly to vietnam. They will not let you on the airplane without it.

You need a visa for Vietnam, not Thailand. Just come with your US passport and they’ll let you in for 30 days (and can get a 30 day extension).

If you’re asking for the cost of your laptop at retail, forget it. They should only provide you compensation for what the laptop was worth at the time you brought it in, and since it was broken, probably not that much anyway. You’re not going to get the same spec laptop brand new.

What do you want most? A laptop right away or your old laptop fixed? Can you wait a month and get something cheap while you wait because you can’t use the laptop in the condition now.

Can the shop let you borrow or you rent one while your old one is in repair?

Can you find your similar model used and see if the shop will help offset the cost of it? You’d be out of pocket though.

Find a booking on Agoda that you don’t need to pay upfront. Print it out and get the visa, then cancel it.

Depending what country you are from and if they are entering on visa exempt, I wouldn’t worry about it much
