- you do realize citizens from 93 countries can enter Thailand visa-free? I would argue that a majority of DTV holders come from these 93 countries as well.

Anonymous participant 349 Not true. You apply from the embassy in your current location. However, some embassies only allow residents to apply though them.

You don’t receive a visa stamp in your passport, so you will need the letter. Only stamp you will receive is the entry stamp that shows you have 180 days in country. This entry stamp makes no reference to the length of the DTV

- I never mentioned anything about “rights” or “privilege” so not sure how I am confusing the two. I also never said that they couldn’t revoke a visa without cause, but we were not even talking about visas, we were talking about extensions on visa exemptions (meaning no visa). I also never said that they don’t “change things on the go”. I am literally saying they said they are changing things, and you said nothing had changed (but in this last message you said they change things on the go). Also, not sure what “enforcement” had to do with the original statements back and forth. I also never said I didn’t see the abuse, you said there were no changes and I said yes there are changes. You are now ranting at me about their right to make changes to rules. Again, I never said they couldn’t, I just said that they made changes.

@Andrew *******

so second visa extension was always just 7 days?

@Ronald *******

You were not supposed to be in Thailand when applying for the DTV, so they won’t understand this idea of a “visa swap”

@John *******

when I live and work in Cambodia, I often come to Thailand 1 weekend a month.

Rejected twice? what is different this time for you to believe you will be approved?

I believe that is their formal stance, which probably is the same as what is written on their website. In reality, it might be much quicker.

How many months of personal bank statements did you supply? Did you have more than 500k. You remained in Vietnam?
