500k proof of funds for the 6 months + 6 months (10k baht extension) wtv name it's call. It won't work. They need to remove the proof of funds.

It's a whole bunch of nothing.

For the DTV visa, how are they gonna verify that you are a digital nomads, freelancers, etc?

You also need 500k proof of fund. Nobody will keep 500k for months in an account. We've been through that before... this doesn't work.

And it's 10k baht after 6 months to extend another 6 months, which is okay, but with the 500k proof of fund, it won't work, won't have enough customers.

35 is awful. Anything above 1% is bad

NEVER NEVER NEVER exchange at airport!! You can get 1% or less in many exchanger.

Just go to Nong Khai border, cross, go to duty free on Laos side, come back 30 min later, no problem.

@Nongnuch *******

I responded above. Each border is different. Nong Khai does not care about the extend of your passport and visa history. This is the biggest misconception that newbie and ignorant people have regarding Thai borders, they think that it's pretty much all the same. It's not. Some borders will never ask you anything, some will ask sometimes, and some will never ask. Nong Khai, Mukdahan, Chong Chon, and a few other Thai border will NEVER ask you to show anything.

@Nongnuch *******

I understood your comment perfectly the first time. It was a factually incorrect comment regarding Nong Khai border. How full your passport is, how much overstay stamps you have, and so on, does not change anything at Nong Khai border. There is no such thing as grilling people at that border. And no such thing as asking any of the 3 proof of. I live near that border and know how it operate very well. They do not ask you any question at all. All you need is the TM6 and your passport. That's it. The officer won't ask you a single question there.

I live close to the Nong Khai border. You do NOT need any of the 3 proof of to border bounce that border. Being crossing it 20 times if not more, with an extensive passport history. They do not ask any question nor care how many overstays you have or how many volunteers and ed visas you have in your passport. And the TM6 you can write whatever it does not matter. And how long you stay in Laos also doesn't matter, can be 15 min.

@Tom ********

There is no issue entering from Nong Khai regardless of if you are on visa exempt or not. I live close to that border and I've entered at least 20 times. On the entry card (I think you mean TM6) you can write whatever you want including a random hotel address. It does not matter.

@Nongnuch *******

This is factually incorrect. They do not ask for any of the 3 proof of in Nong Khai.
