 ah OK. If your embassy provides an affidavit then immigration want you to use that. The 65k method is an alternative for those whose embassy refuse to provide one

Is it a violation of human rights for Thailand to deny long-term visas after multiple short visits?

@Michael *******
 you seem determined to ignore the options available to you. If it takes half a year to finalise the process get a 90 day Non-O and get it started. If it's not finalised in that time leave and get another 90 day Non-O and return. I really don't understand why you have a problem with this

@Colin ********
 he's not married and under 50 but has a Thai kid and is named on the birth certificate. But he doesn't want to go through the process of obtaining parental rights for some reason. So he can get a 90 day Non-O visa but can't get the extension of stay

Do I need to submit 6 months of detailed bank statements for the DTV Soft Power visa in Thailand?
John **********
I'd say it depends on what type of income you have. If you have income from work you will do remotely from Thailand you should use that account BUT you then need to apply using workation and not soft power. If your income is passive then no problem

 I don't recommend agents but that's going to be your only option if you don't have the 800k baht to put in a bank account
