@Richie *******

the 2 times by land per annum no longer applies. Land entries are now treated in the same way as air entries but be aware they are cracking down on this behaviour

in most countries eyes

@Farang ********

you can get a new extension every year. You can leave and re-enter as long as you get a re-entry permit before leaving

Only your employer can help with that

@Carol ***********

you can apply for a Non-O visa based on having money in a bank outside Thailand if you apply outside Thailand but to get a 12 month extension of stay you need funds in a Thai bank for 2 months before applying for that extension

@James *******

and yet mine started doing a home visit this year for the first time even for those of us based on retirement

I don't use that immigration office but my one definitely do check. This year I started doing 90 day reports online and have had 2 visits 6 months apart

Carry both passports as your DTV will be associated with your current passport

Normal bank statements from your bank should be used, if they are not in English or Thai you may need to get them officially translated. You don't say where you are applying but different embassies have differing requirements as to how long the 500k must be in your account, some only require it on the most recent statement, some require it on the date of application, some require it to be in the account for 3 months or more

Use soft power options
