You can leave anytime during those 180 days and when you get back you get another 180 days.

A lot of people seem to think that they're stuck in Thailand for the entire duration of their stamp.

And yes, you can get ONE 180 day extension per entry, but the process requires the same documents you used when applying for the visa, so its easier to just fly out and in.

That is not true.There are no rules about getting health insurance on a DTV.

But as an adult, not having health insurance is pretty irresponsible.

Anonymous participant 870 does Moreta work for transactions to personal accounts, or is it limited to businesses like TagThai?

Anonymous participant exactly what you explained in your post.

Write a letter explaining your situation, since they can't put two and two together by themselves.

definitely look at other countries in the area. The Thai visa system is outdated, illogical and will never get better.

Welcome to Thailand 🤦‍♂️

Don't mean to sound sarcastic, I just really feel your pain. It's ridiculous.

The soft power visa application isn't faster. The time it takes depends on your individual application details and the embassy staff, not what you base your application on.

@Greg *******

yeah, it's all about what you're used to. I have always just tapped my phone to pay with my card and scanned QR codes for payments to people. We all have our preferences.

@Greg *******

it's funny how differently we all see things. For me, it's the small stuff that I prefer QR payments for. Like a 37 baht Bolt ride, or a 180 baht lunch. I don't want to carry around small bills 😅
