you don't need to be in your home country. You just cannot be in Thailand. And the bank account used can be from anywhere, even a Thai bank account.

If you leave with a re-entry permit, you can be gone for any amount of time as long as you're back in time to apply for your next extension.

You cannot "convert" to a DTV. Tourist visas are only issued by Thai embassies outside of Thailand. It wouldn't make sense to be able to get a tourist visa to a country while you're already there.

Did you actually come here on a TOURIST VISA, like your post says? A tourist visa is something you would have had to apply for and pay for through the Thai e-visa system before you traveled to Thailand. If you actually have a tourist visa, then you go to Chaeng Watthana.

If you arrived without any visa at all, and you entered visa exempt (free 60-day entry stamp) then you would go to IT Square Laksi.

These types of things are a civil matter, and police don't want anything to do with it. They are most certainly not going to come and arrest you and seize your passport.

Your lease should indicate who is responsible.

I've never heard of a tourist visa not being approved. But most embassies do not require a paid ticket, they just want to see what your planned itinerary is.

That kind of depends on which of the 77 provinces of Thailand you're in.

It's a bit unusual to get a re-entry permit during your 90 days. You're planning on leaving Thailand and returning within those 90 days?

Most people wait until they apply for the 1-year extension to apply for the re-entry permit, so it's actually valid for a full year.

Also it can be a long trip and a long wait if your immigration office is Chaeng Watthana. It might be better to get it at the airport on your way out.

For the 90-day non-O visa from the Thai embassy in Canada, you don't need to show any money in a Thai bank account.

But if you want to apply for the 1-year extension in Thailand, you don't have a choice. The Canadian embassy in Thailand stopped income verification on April 1st of this year. So your only option is proof of 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account in your name only.

that's fine. Just hand it over with your passport. If they can't read it at least they know you have it and can then check the computer

For Thailand, always print everything. The email you received with your visa should have instructed you to print it.

Hand it over with your passport and final boarding pass when you get to passport control, then when you step away, check the stamp you received to make sure it's correct. Do this every time you step away from passport control.

And don't forget your TDAC when you're 2-3 days away from traveling.
