Not answering any of the actual questions here, but you'll probably need to have watched a 1 hour training video as well, it has 4 questions you'll need to answer..

But this can be done in the comfort of your own home by registering at

Keep the QR-code it gives you at the end, the DLT office will probably want to scan it.

likely because it is linked to your passport.

Scanning it might be a preference to some officers, some not.

The Non-O is made for folks like you.

Get the Non-O before you leave.

Throw 800k baht into your Thai bank account within 30 days of arrival. Don't touch it!

When there is 30 days days or so left on your initial stay, go to Immigration and ask for a list of the documents you will need to provide for your extension of stay.

They will also tell you how many days in advance you can apply for your extension.

Asking about the documents and timeframe a month in advance gives you plenty of time to prepare.

Rock up with your documents in the timeframe given to you by Immigration, and apply for your one year extension.

Not sure if you need to apply for the multi-entry re-entry permit separately, but this is something you could ask on your initial visit when you ask about documents required.

When your extension of stay is granted, and you have your re-entry permit... Go enjoy the Thailand and the world as you wish.

However, you can't touch the 800k baht for 3 months after the extension of stay was approved. and the amount can NEVER dip below 400k during the year. And it will need to be put back up to 800k 2 months before you apply for your next extension of stay.

Probably yes.

But if he leaves the country he is applying from, he is at a much greater risk of simply getting denied getting the DTV.

You are supposed to stay in the country until approved.

If you're leaving the same day, just leave.
