Has anyone in Australia applied for a workaction DTV recently and supplied their girlfriend's address as where they will be staying? Any problems encountered with this or additional questions asked (e.g. need copy of house book, ID card etc)?

I am going to get her to right a short letter of invite, but not sure if it needs to be handwritten and hand signed (as opposed to signed digitally which does not prove it came from her) , or whether it is better to be in Thai or English?

TIA.

Yesterday I went to get an extra 30 days on my original 30 day visa exemption stamp.

I arrived at the IT Square Laski Plaza floor 3, which is right beside the Laski red line station, at 12.30 midday, and had my photo copying done and passport photo taken. Very cheap and efficient I must say.

I then filled out my application and joined the queue which opened again at 1pm after lunch.

The whole process finished in 2 hours. It can seem a little unorganised and chaotic at times but as long as you have got everything in order it quite simple.

The hold ups are caused by people without the correct documentation I think.

Thanks to Todd and the gang for this really helpful FB group!
