I'm in a similar position, but I will be visiting with and staying with my Thai partner on her parents farm.

How do I prove where I'm staying?

Is a letter from my partner proof enough?

I'm happy to get a 3 month visa but see nothing on the Thai visa website applicable to me. A 60 day tourist visa appears to be my only option!

'With a Tourist visa, you can stay in Thailand for no longer than 60 days. If you wish to stay in Thailand for more than 60 days, you can extend your stay with the Immigration Bureau'.

What visa should I be looking for?

Am I correct in thinking that a 60 day can only be extended once at an immigration office?

I've done this every year for the past 3 years.

I get a 60 day tourist visa, renew once at immigration for 30 days and then again by visiting Laos for 3 days via Nong Khai for another 30 day extension.

I do this once in a calendar year.

I've never had a problem!

Which is just as well as I cycle across the bridge in to Laos!😀

A refusal to enter would be 'inconvenient' to say the least!

First off make sure you know how many days there are in two weeks.😉

Go to immigration, get a letter stating proof of residence, take it to the bank, BB in my case and job done! Couldn't be any simpler. I got one on a 60 day visa. No agent required. What reason are they giving you for refusing?
