I’m coming to Thailand at the end of December & would like to stay for around 4 months . I’m 66 should I apply for a non o retirement visa and then extend for a month or take a flight for a week or two and return. I’m from England.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Question 1: Once I enter initially on a workation DTV, do I need to submit a TM-30 within a day or two? Question 2: Do I need to border bounce on day 180, or do I need to border bounce on day 179? When I re-enter the 180 day clock starts over, right? Or do I need to check in with immigration every 30 days?

Question about doing the TDAC, we’re doing our first DTV border bounce this weekend to Malaysia. When returning what should we put as country of residence, our home country or Thailand since we have been here 6 months and rent a long term condo?

Thanks!

Anybody have experiences with extending an O A visa at Nonthaburi?

Mine’s coming up and I’d rather avoid surprises.

Border bounce at Golden Triangle report.

Just completed a DTV border bounce at Sop Ruak crossing at the Golden Triangle in Chiang Rai. Not Chiang Saen, nor Chiang Khong. Completed the whole process within an hour including waiting 10 minutes each way for a boat to cross the river. Visa on arrival fee in Lao was $40USD cash perfect condition notes scrutinized carefully, dunno what they would have asked in baht. Bring a passport size photo or pay $1. The Laos side of the crossing is called SLK. Big beautiful building but empty. The boat ride across was 100 baht one way for the Thai boat or you could spend 150 baht for the Chinese speed boat, I don't know why you would since it's only a 5-minute crossing. Zero questions asked either side and a seamless process.
