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

Steve *******

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.

What are the current visa extension requirements and issues for expats in Thailand, particularly regarding bank statements?

Steve *******

Sounds like you dealt with an ignorant Immigration officer.

Of course they should be accepted for a visa application, as your money is with them.

But this is Thailand, things will never make sense here. Just fly up to Luang Prabang for a weekend instead 🤷‍♂️
