Hey everyone!
Just asking for maybe some advice / insight on what would be best to do.
My wife and I are planning to move to Thailand in September. We’re currently staying in the Canary Islands (not registered here though).
Now, we want to get a DTV visa (Muay Thai), and I have over a million baht in my account, but not for longer than 3 months yet. In the end of November I will get an additional 1.5 million deposit into my account so there would be plenty in terms of ‘$$’ in my account to cover us both.
Now we’re thinking to fly to Thailand mid September on a visa exemption on arrival (60 days), then extend with another 30 days AND THEN fly to a neighboring country to get our DTV visas done there.
We’re also thinking about getting a condo in Thailand when we arrive, but I understand that most landlords only allow a minimum stay / contract of 1 year, which is totally fine with us, but ‘what if’ our DTV visas for some reason wouldnt be approved, ‘what then?’ Is kinda what we’re thinking.. Is it then possible to fly to Thailand anyway and for example get an ED visa instead? We’ve only been to Thailand once last year for 3 weeks so no overstay/borderruns etc etc..
Just kinda looking into how maybe some of you have done it and maybe have some advice?
Many thanks yall!!

They plan to travel on a visa exemption and extend their stay, followed by a trip to a neighboring country to obtain the DTV visa. Concerns include potential visa rejection and the terms of renting a condo in Thailand if their visa is not approved, leading to discussions about renting short-term and alternative visa options like the ED visa.
