@Brandon ***********
thanks Brandon, that’s kinda my feeling and from the comments I think it’s the wise choice. Leave and the reenter.

Gives me a chance to visit somewhere or just to go to the USA to visit the family.

This is a great Visa and I’m content on playing by the rules (whatever that means in Thailand)

It also gives some time for the whole taxation discussion to play out a bit too.

@Calvin *****
thanks Calvin.

I heard that also about a month ago.

I have no worries about my DTV. Applied while I was home in Los Angles with 100% verified paperwork and taxes.

I guess my only issue was a post I saw where if you apply for a 6mo extension inside Thailand, that immigration wants you to provide almost the full paperwork flow and bank balance info.

I don’t just park $15k cash liquid in my account and I guess I would rather leave and return, then go through all that plus $1900 bht.

I guess 6 months is plenty to be in Thailand.

What’s the feeling in the group about this?

@Brandon ***********
yea, that’s not my question.

Do you have a DTV? Have you returned through BKK after leaving?

If you have relevant and real life experience with this I would like to hear from you.

Reading from the Thai text book is something we can all do, thanks.
