I’ve recently applied for the DTV through the Wellington Embassy (yep, I know—it’s the pricey one, but since I’m based in NZ I figured I’d give it a go).

The embassy has come back with this request:

“Other requested documents: Proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire duration of stay is required.”

Has anyone else come across this? What did you provide?

I’ve got accommodation sorted for the first month but was planning to find an apartment once I arrive in Chiang Mai.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I did a visa extension back in February then went back to the states for summer.

I'm back in Chiang Mai now and I recently did another extension so I'm at two for the year.

After this extension I plan to do a border run so I can start over.

But I plan on being in Thailand another six months so is there a better visa I can get?

Hi, my husband and I will be living in Chiang Mai for 3-4 months. Our question is what is the smartest way to get/transfer money from our US bank to live here. We don’t want to bring a large sum of money with us. Thank you!

Hey everyone

My partner and I are living in Chiang Mai at the moment on a 30 day exempt stamp that we automatically got when entering the country through Bangkok International Airport.

We want to stay for at least another 60-90 days if possible, and we were wondering what you would suggest is the best way of going about this? If it's possible :)

We have Australian and UK passports, originally from Australia and our 30 day exempt stamp runs out on 30 November. We plan to head to Europe around February/March 2019, so can book a forwarding flight if needed.

Multiple Entry visa has been mentioned and also border crossing via Laos. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance x
