I am on a DTV. When I go to extend, there are specific requirements for those on a DTV. Requirements that differ then one who is extending based on having a tourist visa. Since my DTV is a multi-entry visa, I have never had a used stamp, similar with my previous non-Bs.

so everyone in Thailand is on a permission to stay, but when I go to immigration, the requirements for extending differ based on what visa I had, so it kind of does matter what visa you arrived on.

Hard to say why as they don’t give you a reason and we don’t know anything about the paperwork you submitted

I was a GS 13 when Ieft (2016) and GS15s were super high level. They were people who managed the entire branch or division.

- that is if that is your duty station. She said she is a remote worker.

@Jeremy *******

also gave to work for a private company or a publicly traded one. If she is a federal employee, she wouldn’t meet that requirement. That is where my application got hung up

@Jeremy *******

the LTR also has a remote employment option.

I think they are trying to say that you currently don’t have a visa, if you entered under “visa exemption” status. You can still extend your stay by 30 days, but just telling you that you are using wrong terminology when you say you want to extend your visa (however, maybe you do have a visa, which you would have had to apply for via an embassy).

- ok, so you never made it to the visa process, looks like you were still in process to get BOI’s endorsement to then apply for the visa via MoFA. I was rejected at this stage as well. I had a law firm working with me and only found out reason when they went to BOI physically. The company I worked for, while having a portfolio in the millions, wasn’t considered a publicly traded or private company and therefore I was not eligible.
