Each Thai consulate (varies by where you at located) list the visas that are available for you. The current hot visa is the DTV, but requires you to be a digital nomad and enough money in bank to cover each person 500,000 baht each.

- They are “selective” in who they ask. You are more likely to be asked my the airline though, as they are left with the bill of returning you, if in the unlikely case immigration denies you entry because you don’t have a return ticket.

@Brian *******

in the interview he said you don’t need to show anything during the reentry. Very different process. Immigration officer is supposed to move people through within 45 seconds, you are not submitting a form, payment, etc. also, renter can happen at any point, while extension is at 180 days. My first re-entry will be 3 5 weeks after first entry. I receive another 180 day stamp then.

@Brian *******

From the interview with MoFA, the extension process would require to show paperwork. However, for re-entry, you wouldn’t.

@Mark *******

- For me it is the perfect visa (for now). I am not yet 50, so retirement options are not available. I tried the LTR visa process. While the company I work for has over a billion in annual revenue, it is not “private” nor “publicly traded”, so BOI denied on that basis. I have been with the same Thai partner for 9+ years, but same-sex, so marriage is not yet gone through/recognized. I often travel internationally (every 3months) for work.

@Zhanel *******

when did you rebook for?

@Cay ****

- Employer is USA. Just printed it off. Same with bank statements. Nothing notarized/certified. I got the application at the embassy, as I thought it would be updated(include DTV category), but it was the same application on their website, that is several years old. I just wrote DTV below the other type of visa options

Very unlucky timing

@Zhanel *******

- With the e-visa system, you have to select which country you are physically in (doesnt have to be your home country) and the application is then routed to that embassy. However, not all Thai embassies use the e-visa system. For embassies that do not use the e-visa system, you have to go in person. According to the Consulate's website for Kazakstan, they do not use the e-visa system. So if you are on Kazakh soil, you need to apply in person.
