yeh but when you provide evidence of this for the DTV they are going to want to see sufficient bookings I guess. I wouldn’t have thought they are going to issue a 5 year DTV if you have a booking for a month 🤷‍♂️. Could be wrong but I’m guessing that’s why they are already telling people to apply for an ED visa instead if you want to go to Thailand to learn

@David ******

So in your case based off what you have said neither of these visas are eligible for yourself as you can’t complete a language course if you are in and out the country every month. A multi entry tourist visa could work and then for the rest of the time use exemptions?!

@David ***

Oh no I fully understand it and get why people would want to do that but can also see why embassies/consulates are steering people to the ED visa

Most embassies/consulates are asking people to apply for an ED visa instead which in all fairness sounds more suitable. I mean why do you need to a 5 year visa to learn how to cook Thai food 😂. They should never have included that in the DTV as the ED visa in place for those sorts of activities

Yeh will be fine mate

I’ve had confirmation and extensions are 1900 baht. The 10,000 baht is just the initial payment for the visa

extensions are 1900 baht

You need a medical certificate. If you are doing motorbike and car then you need one for each

so that’s it then. 60 days visa exemption is all good for you

So your tourist visa will run out and you will come back into Thailand on a visa exemption? As long as you are from one of the qualifying countries then you will get a 60 day visa exempt stamp
