I have an AI Webscraper I can run for Embassy updates :-) that loads into a Google Sheet

I have not seen any embassy updates nor any reports in here. Can you name one embassy or any post saying there is a new requirement of over 6 months?

ScenicPersimmon526 Your common sense is correct. The MFA on their website makes it clear a visa does not guarantee entry even if they have issued it. The final say is down to Immigration. The senior MFA official interviewed at the FCCT reiterated thst point. It is there on YouTube for all to see.

ScenicPersimmon526 It's like a Trump press conference in here sometimes. It's all "Fak3 News" 555

Language courses alone are not generally accepted. There is a course in Chiang Mai that adds cultural activities onto language and seems to be fine.

Good info about the transfer. I noticed Chajng Mai Airport Office has a specific window for these transfers.

I wonder what they meant by not eligible for extension?

Yes. You will get 6 months in December.

I think a LTD adds a bit of weight but some others have been approved with a portfolio.

I was wrong - it is "Not up to" but rather "Not Exceeding" - pretty much the same thing. The IO does not have to give the full period allowed by the visa - they have discretion to give shorter amounts.

"the period of stay is granted by an immigration officer upon arrival at the port of entry and in accordance with the type of visa. For example, the period of stay for a transit visa is not exceeding 30 days, for a tourist visa is not exceeding 60 days and for a non-immigrant visa is not exceeding 90 days from the arrival date. The period of stay granted by the immigration officer is displayed on the arrival stamp.

Sure - a very high % of people on soft power DTV, such as Muay Thai, also work remotely. You can do it the other way around too - get Workation DTV and train 🙂 Enjoy
