What are the key tips for successfully applying for a visa to Thailand?

Question

It helps to answer interview in Thai 💕  officer will be nicer 💕 first applied last year in my home country, confident with bank account n yearly income but was met with (we don't have bilateral agreements with Thai govt so we don't know what to charge) 
So to rush to get in I did ED visa which helped me to learn Thai เรียนภาษาไทย but 😩 unable to travel out. So I took the plunge & one way ticket out. Lesson learnt to check on bank holidays it was a grueling 18 days wait with just an appointment date. But I think 2 points to learn from this
1) Glad I got an agent, pay 100USD to save on headache, help me check on docs & even advise me retaking photo showing my ears and no teeth to prevent rejection. They help to push along documents. 
2) Sometimes you just have to push through, follow instructions, be there early not on time, before office opens (everyone had appointment at 9.30am) what a cute arrangement 😂 just persevere. Be prepared for the weather (correction : thks for helping below, so I be sure not to miss deadline reporting save fine money 😊)

Why people keep talking about 90 days report? It is simple and easy to do it if you have TM-30 and stay as the TM-30 City. You only need to go the immigration and fill TM47 which is 90 days report form. TM30, Your Passport and 90 Days Report form. Boom Bada Bing Badda Boom. Easy. and plus you don't have to wait the queue number to report 90 days in Chiang Mai.

Now, instead of having to apply for extensions every 90 days, you have to apply for a much more difficult extension after 180 days (or border bounce) and leave the country after 360 days. By the way you still have to do the 90-day reports. Congrats!

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

You still have to do 90 day reports at an immigration office. I guess you are referring to extending your visa every 90 days which is not the same thing
