I misremembered when the asterisks appeared. They are working to improve the formular, there have been some changes in the last few days, so, perhaps everything will work fine for the official launch.

When I fill out the departure date (and mode of transport) I get the red asterisks for the remaining departure details. Yes, I can remove the departure date; however, the asterisks does not disappear when I remove the departure date. I have to start all over again to remove them.

You do not have to fill the departure details on the TDAC; however, if you do fill out the departure date, you will also have to fill out the details. At the moment, if you fill out the departure date it is not possible to delete it unless you start all over again.

What's the problem?

So they say. That would be a disaster. They have to have a backup in case the traveller for some reason cannot present the QR-code. Be it lack of ability, internet, or power on the mobile. It can happen to everyone; I went to Malaysia shortly after they introduced their version. I filled the form and loaded the email on the phone so it was ready to present at arrival. However, when unlocking the phone, it tried to access the internet and wouldn't show the email when there were no internet. Thus, I had to use their backup system - a guy filling the form for me on his phone. No free internet at arrival back then. I plan to bring a printed QR code when arriving in Thailand next time.

You can do it after arriving too; just as it was possible to get a TM6 form at immigration if you didn't get it on the flight. It will, of course, mean that you will spend more time in the airport before you are able to go through immigration.

Ammending the constitution and setting it aside are two very different things.

So, you are content if it is only the end of the constitution? The democracy in the US is very much under threat at the moment, even if Trump does not sets aside the constitution and is elected a third time, Putin style.

Yeah, nothing as fun as the end of democracy and the constitution in the USA.

You can show proof of the money in a foreign account, it does not have to be a Thai bank.

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.
