How would you answer question 4?
Robert *******
Home country, so you have time to arrange travel plans and say goodbye to friends and family.

But if you like a short vacation before working in Thailand, both Indonesia and Vietnam are nice for sight seeing. Not sure if you need a visa to visit these countries as anonymous.

So you know that you have to report after being 90 days in the country.

You ask if it is okay to not report when staying 180 days?

Yep, 180 days is much less than 90 days, so just leave or learn how to count to 180.

Just go trough customs but be aware do not take any illegal items in your luggage.

Use the gate with nothing to declare.

BTW stop at an Immigration booth as they stamp passport based on your visa.

Do not forget to make a TDAC.

I guess the Embassy was correct. How do you think we can advice if we do not know how you applied?

If the nationality at birth does not match, the information given on the refugee travel document and the passport, you have to figure out how to get documents with matching data.

Not according the one and only official website.

DTV is valid for 5 years and during this validity you get 180 days of stay when you enter Thailand

a Non Immigrant O visa gives once 90 days on entry, you are allowed to work with this visa in combination with the work permit, which can only applied for by a Thai company.

a Non Immigrant B visa only gives once 90 days on entry and can only be obtained in combination with a work permit, which can only applied for by a Thai company.

If you need to work on-line for a company outside Thailand, the DTV is the best option

What are you afraid of?

There will be a stricter enforcement for people going in /out using Visa Exempt Entry.

Nothing to do with a person coming to Thailand with a DTV after spending some nights in Laos.

But be aware, your taxi can get a flat tire on the way to the border.
