Where / what consulate was it? Did they keep the (inflated) visa fee? You could try to get the DTV on a different category, instead.

True. But the extension of the DTV, like all other extensions, is only 1,900 THB.

The eVisa system does not require to upload any flight tickets as proof anymore. It just asks for a (any) inbound flight number. I almost never arrived on that very flight I mentioned in the visa application.

As long as it counts to the gross amount stated in your tax return, yes. See:

EVIDENCE OF INCOME

6. Official personal income tax return as filed to state authorities such as P.N.D. , BIR60, Form 1040, Form W-2, SA100, T1 General etc. showing income of no less than 80,000 USD per year in the past 2 years.

I agree with the reasoning - at least partly. Actually, one could also argue that Thailand should only be concerned with how much net income people have available to bring into the country. But I am not one of those. Still, I strongly disagree with BOI beeing "quite clear" on this. If they were, they would mention it on their website, or at least in their detailed requirement documents. 😉

That is a very good question. It does not seem to be specified on their website, weather is PASSIVE income before or after tax deductions:

"Official personal income tax return as filed to state authorities such as P.N.D. , BIR60, Form 1040, Form W-2, SA100, T1 General etc. showing income of no less than 80,000 USD per year in the past year or at the time of application For the wealthy pensioners category specifically, only UNEARNED or PASSIVE income such as interests, dividends, royalties, rental income, or other types of passive income are considered for the application. Documents provided for this item must show an income of no less than 80,000 USD or

40,000 USD per year."

If nobody here knows for sure, best to contact them and ask - they are usually quick and friendly to respond.

If you want to cross into neighboring countries with a vehicle not registered in your name, you will face even more trouble than exists already. While possible in theory, you would need a power of attorney from the person whose name is in the green book. Also, some border crossings only allow particular sized motorcycles (not small scooters). Lastly, forget about Vietnam completely, no getting foreign motorcycles in there without a tour group.

As pointed out in another reply, you might have mentioned the wrong dates (14.10 instead of 16.10) - so you might just be staying within the legal max stay on visa exempt + extension. In that case, just leave the visa number field on EVA Air blank and enjoy your stay. And if someone at the airport really asks you for a return flight within the initial 60 days, just book any cheap flight / transport out of Thailand on the spot.

@Ronald ********

Good point. That might just reduce it to the max legal period.

@Maksym **********

Fair enough. The 89+30+7 may be a viable option, in theory. Albeit at an additional cost of 1,900 THB. Also, I highly doubt that people not sure how to check-in will know about this option. So, better to give a more detailed heads-up about options available. And as for multiple answers: I would blame Facebook. When I wrote my (detailed) reply, it seemed I was the first to answer. Only later, additional, earlier responses appeared. You can thank Facebooks underlying technology (in particular too heavy use of React) for this.
