I entered the Kingdom through Laos with a e-Visa, a 90 day single entry non-O taking care of my Thai children. I live in Thailand but work abroad on a six weeks rotation.

Can I change this Visa to a non-O multiple entry 1 year Visa??

Has anyone applied for the DTV in Thailand and then left and come back to activate it? I probably won’t do this, but wondering if anyone has had success. Since I’m already here would just save a lot of time and money. I know there’s a risk that they ask for all my passport pages or proof of flights, etc.. I’m just wondering if anyone else has done it.

My friend applied outside the country but then came here and got approved while here and it was fine. She just left on a border run and stamped back in with six month DTV yesterday.

Please tell me if I'm on the right track? I have the non o from US. Secured a condo with tm 30 and lease agreement in bangkok. Arrived October 18. My bank account was opened November 8th with required amount. Is there anything I missed? Just seems strange waiting the 60 days.

I currently have the below travel pattern in Thailand for the last 3 years. I have always used the 60 days visa exemption to enter because I come on holiday every time.

I come in October and stay less than 60 days, after this I go in my home country. I then come again end of January, I stay for less than 60 days and go home.

I have done this for the last 3 years, never overstaying, never coming in more than 2 times per year and never had any problems.

Considering the new rules, to continue doing this, do you think I need a DTV now? Or I can still use the 60 days visa exemption?

Many thanks.
