Yes, but with the one year 'O', you have to show 800k THB in a Thai bank account in your name, or twelve monthly deposits of at least 65k in a Thai bank account in your name. The DTV visa you only need to show the equivalent of 500k THB and it can be in a bank account in any country, doesn't need to be in a Thai bank account and the DTV costs equivalent of 10,000 THB for five years. There's other caveats to it, like getting a 180 day extension, then having to leave and re-enter to start the 180 days all over again.
Depends where you apply I believe, some Embassies, consulates only want to see it in the applicants account, not bothered where it comes from. I've read other comments that say different, but with it being fairly new, it's open to opinions.
Agents need to earn a living and if it's convenient for some, I don't understand why some Farangs seem to make such a big issue about anyone wanting to use an agent. U2T
Whose desperate? If I was in Thailand it wouldn't bother me doing a 90 day report. One thing for sure, when I do go back to stay in Thailand, I won't be on Sadbook all day looking for something to occupy my time. Have you ever been referred to as a synic? Well first time for everything. Happy Sadbook days 2 u
I get the impression that most of the people commenting on this subject are probably on either 'O' or 'O-A' visas that require 90 day reporting. There's comments here saying that anyone staying more than ninety days needs to do a report, doesn't matter what visa you have unless it's an LTR. So none of the immigration experts on here have no proof unless they actually get it confirmed by an IO., that you do have to do a ninety day report if your in Thailand on a DTV visa.All comments are probably based on assumptions.
