ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all! Hope anyone was more lucky finding out the details, or maybe was in a similar situation. Coming back to Thailand after 2 months away on a visa arrival (tourist). Will be leaving again in December for a month. I understand I need to be in my home country to apply for DTV? So to get this, I will need to stay as tourist until December and then apply from my home country? Will that 1 month be enough time? Or do I have another option? THANK YOU

They also seek clarification on the timeline for applying, given their travel plans in December.
