What should I do while waiting for my Thai visa application approval?
Steve *******
Contact the embassy. Both me (in Hong Kong) and my friend (in Hanoi) moved from processing to finished 2 hours after emailing and asking how our applications were going.

Can I edit the place of issue on my visa application at the embassy?
Steve *******
The country issued is always the club try the passport is from. It is confusing but that's the way it is 🤷‍♂️

Can I rent out my villa on Airbnb while on a DTV visa in Thailand?
Steve *******
Short term rentals without a hotel license is illegal in itself, so either don't worry about the rest or stop breaking the law.

Can I present a bank statement from a non-Thai bank for a Thai visa application?
Steve *******
Most people applying for a DTV don't have a Thai bank account, and it is not a requirement.

Just print out your own bank and make sure to check how many months the embassy your applying at wants to see.

What should I input for the "duration on Thailand" question when applying for a visa?
Steve *******
Doesn't matter for DTV. Just write how long you're staying on your first trip (under 180 days)

What is the best country to fly to for a visa-free visit from the US and how long should I stay before returning to Thailand?
Steve *******
You can fly out, have lunch and come back. There's no minimum limit.

KL is a great place to visit for your visa runs.

How is the 180-day visa calculation done for my recent entry in Thailand?
Steve *******
You got exactly 180 days. You can just fly out and back in at any point and get 180 days from the day you come back. The DTV is great in that way 🥳👌

What legal protections should I consider when funding a home renovation in Isaan for a partner?
Steve *******
Paying for services and materials isn't illegal.

But spending over a million on someone else's house is just plain unsmart.

Do I need to report my stay in Thailand with a DTV visa by submitting a TM30 form?
Steve *******
No, as you will not be dealing with immigration before you leave, you don't need to do one.

And if you're staying at a hotel, they have already done it for you.
