I was not asking, I was pointing out that ericthai was wrong when he said that the DTV is a non-immigrant visa. It is, indeed, as you say and as BrandonJT said earlier, a "special tourist visa".

Please tell Phuket Provincial Transport Office, then maybe I can get 5 years on the next renewal of my driver's license.

It is not the counting that is a problem, it is the knowing that you have to count. I don't know if they inform you with the other long stay possibilities but you are not told about the 90 days report when you apply for the DTV. Anyway, as written earlier in the thread, you will be informed when filling in the new digital arrival card; thus, going forward everybody should know and not only the people in here and in other forums.

I agree. I knew already when I got the DTV but people not using aseannow or other relevant forums probably wouldn't know. There is no official info anywhere about the requirement for a 90 day report when you get the DTV. I do not know if they inform you when you get other long term visas. However, it seems that when you fill out the new arrival card online, you are informed that you have to do the 90 day report if you stay longer than 90 days.

I can relate. I never drive my motorcycle with a helmet and I never had an accident, and I am a healthy person. I never let my kids use a helmet either; and they are all healthy and never had an accident. The fact is that a helmet is not necessary; on the contrary, it is dangerous. Your hearing is limited, thus, you cannot hear the cars; and your vision is limited so that you cannot see coming dangers from the sides. Not to mention that a helmet messes up your hair! I am sure all that info on accidents are totally made up, I never had one and the kids never had one. We are all healthy and have great hair. The headline of this thread should read: Helmets kill

I know, I was joking. Turns out the Trump voters gave up democracy for nothing.

But ... at least he got the egg prices down. Besides, from certain people in here, we know that Trump loves peace so of course he would not threaten Greenland, a close northern neighbour, and other countries. I wonder when those people open their eyes and see the many signs that the US in on the way to become a totalitarian state.

Only on the good Sundays; once a year, when we were not working in the coal mines from 3 in the morning to 9 in the evening. Ah, those Sundays were like holidays back then, not like the hardship on the weekdays.

Reminds me of Sunday school back home ...

Are you sure? When I clicked the Submit button in my filing 10 days ago I was shown a TM47 form with the info I had provided.

Perhaps you have been too early. As far as I understand, the rules differ between the various immigration offices, but, generally, you have to file between 2 weeks and 1 week before due date. Last Monday was 2 weeks and 1 day before due date.

Damn, so instead of saving some 10 hours from not having to go to the immigration office several times a year, you only save 9 hours and 55 minutes.

I would just apply. I think the risk of them asking for a certified letter is very low - is there even a bank that would provide such a letter? But perhaps people that have tried to apply in Vietnam can give you a better answer.

You have to apply in the country where you are. As far as I recall, most if not all visa applications require that you prove that you are in the country.

Which country? In Denmark, I only needed a digital statement from the bank with my name on it.
