Anonymous participant 237 typo auto correct.

Once the DTV is approved it doesn't matter.

There is no requirement for you to even attend the course.

It is a "soft power " leisure activity.

So as long you exit and reenter for a fresh 6 mths, no problem.

Like any gym membership you buy, it's up to you what you do with it.

IF you decide to try and extend 6 mths in Thailand you would need to requalify just like applying for the original visa.

60 days is maximum age of the document to use at immigration.

It sounds like you have gone from a tourist entry to a non-o based on marriage, 90 day visa.

Which is the correct process.

The next step is 1yr extensions, about 90 percent the same documents you just used.

You will now prepare for the 1 year extension, which can be done at 45 days or when your money has been in the account for 60 days.

The handout is available in room 204 ( which you probably used) has all the requirements.

If you don't have it you can find it here

This is the normal process, sometimes a little confusing.

Yes apply the non-o based on marriage first.

Then money in country, then after it seasons apply for the 1 yr extension.

There is no set rule.

If you have done one entry and then come back again, basically anytime, should be no problem.

However if you have a history of entries into Thailand that they believe you are trying to live in Thailand, you may have problems.

It's all up to the officer you are in front of.

Your best path would be to apply for the soft power options.

Purchase a muay thai course or cooking course. You get the 5 year DTV same as workation without the need of proving a business that doesn't exist yet.

@Sylvia *******

this is incorrect they receive 60 days visa exempt, nothing has changed.

@Vlastimil ******

you should be okay then.

@Vlastimil ******

you would have to ask the embassy directly what supporting documents to prove Thai child and connecting you to them.

You have to be the named father.

But my opinion it would have to be thai certificates.
