I am from the US want to apply for a dtv visa been Thailand 3 other times for 90 days but my first time in Phuket got my 60 +30 ext I realized was 2 days short my booked flight home was non refundable so I talked to the 2,British guys who helped the tourists at immigration they told just pay 1000 baht at airport no big deal. Now I find out I might not be eligible. Will this really disqualify me? Please help should I hire a company to file for me? Goal is to stay 6 months every year for Muay Thai.

Hi everyone! I'm applying for the tourist e-visa from the US and have a limited timeframe before my travel. Does anyone know how long it normally takes before receiving the visa? I've read online some sites saying 2 days and others 15 days. Just curious what your experience has been with it. Thanks so much!

I need some information regarding a non-O visa for the purpose of volunteering. I’m from the US and will be using the consulate in NYC. Below is a screenshot of requirements from their website. I can get an invitation letter from the host organization.

Will I need a work permit once inside Thailand?

And what are the financial requirements?

Since it’s 90 days at a time is a border bounce required or just immigration check-in?

This is where I get confused. Any and all info regarding a non-O visa with the purpose of volunteering would be greatly appreciated. Even any info not related to the questions I asked would be helpful. Thanks!!!
