Agree. A bit of acupuncture and a testosterone injection seem a bit light for a 5 year visa. You can get the injection in 2 minutes in the pharmacy where you buy to meds. Might get lucky in PP as I do not think many applying there at the moment.
Anonymous participant For an O or LTR in applying Thailand yes get a 90 Day O in your own country is one route. However, NOT for a DTV. Do you want an O or LTR based on Retirement or a DTV based on remote working or soft power?
The only people that seem to be having issues are those doing back to back Visa Exempt with or without extensions each time. You have a visa. You will be fine.
They do seem to be inconsistent. A guy in the Chiang Mai Expats group had his frozen at the Airport Plaza branch on a O Retirerment Visa. Needs passport certified by Embassy to unfreeze it. Crazy.
