i had drawn mine with a pencil and the officer was unable to copy it without losing too much quality. So the man found a pen and ruler and redid it for me himself, drawing over my drawing 😅

I would keep that, but I have every intention of moving soon.

My office wanted a drawn map from the main road closest to us and some "landmarks".

Roads had to be drawn with two lines and not just one line.

Jonathan Seraphim It's not a dumb question, but is is a very big misunderstanding that it is a hurdle.

If you arrive on the Non-O as you are supposed to, it's mostly smooth sailing.

You get the Non-O visa before you arrive.

Do not require money in Thai bank if you apply for it outside of Thailand.

Only if you apply for the Non-O inside of Thailand.

Gives you time to sort out the bank situation before you need money in Thai bank for your extension of stay.

Your friend is right.

Every entry gives you 180 days, and you are not limited on how many times you enter or how many days in a year total.

You can even extend the initial 180 days with 180 more days at a Immigration Office. But that is a hassle and they prefer you leave the country and come back instead.

You are not a permanent resident.

The DTV is classified as a tourist visa. So you are still just a tourist.

But there is no actual insurance requirement, yet.

So we don't know how this will affect anyone until it's actually a thing.
