How can a Swiss citizen obtain a DTV visa to stay in Thailand for 5-5.5 months without border runs?

Steve *******

a multiple entry tourist visa is valid for 6 months, and let's you stay 90 days at a time.

No embassy will approve a 5 year visa for someone planning a 5,5 month vacation.

What should I do if I receive belittling responses when seeking visa advice in a Thailand expat group?

Steve *******

If the admins kicked the laugh reactors out, the group would automatically be 68% better.

I've done my math.

you don't need a return ticket, since you get 180 days at each entry. Do you already have your DTV done?

@Demet ********

for 6 months, all you need is a multiple entry tourist visa. Apply at your local embassy, through the e-visa website.

What should I do if I received a tourist visa instead of a DTV visa?

Steve *******

@Yasmin **********

all visa applications are non-refundable, regardless of outcome.

Instead of just denying his application, they gave him a 6 month tourist visa.

Can I do a 90-day report in Thailand without a TM30?

Steve *******

TM30 can be done online.

But if you don't have to deal with immigration before leaving the country, during each stay, (i.e. to get a resident certificate) you can skip both.

What should I do if my passport is lost in Thailand and my visa is about to expire?

Steve *******

Embassies issue emergency passport and process real passport applications. I'm Swedish and my two latest passports were issued in Singapore and Thailand.

What should I do if I need to provide a birth certificate for my Thai visa but cannot obtain it in time?

Steve *******

Thai immigration don't process visas. Embassies and consulates outside of Thailand do.

Contact the embassy and explain that Australians don't walk around with birth certificates, and ask wtf they're doing asking for that.

What are the best rental options for those on a DTV visa in Thailand?

Steve *******

Just because your first stamp is 180 days, doesn't mean you have to stay 180 days.

Come and go as you please. You showed 500k in an account when you applied, you can afford renting a condo here and traveling as you please around Asia.
