Even if you book a flight for 90 days and can get the 30 day extension, the rules still say onward travel must be within the number of days you will be stamped in for, because an extension is never guaranteed. That's what the bus ticket is for, incase they ask you on entry. Or if your airline asks which is more often than immigration.

I've had him blocked for years at this point

Your visa is not in your passport, therefore there is nothing to transfer. To enter Thailand you will need to use your old passport which matches the passport number on your visa, and then they will put your entry stamp into your new passport which is valid.

Quicker, yes. Smoother, no. It's just a different line. If you want smoother you have to book "safe entry" through a visa agent, not a website.

The owner of this group offers a service like that. 0/

Contact the Elite people and ask. You paid a lot of money for them to help you.

ThoughtfulSalamander6046 There is no list of eligible countries. Everyone can get a DTV if they qualify.

It's not complicated. Make your flight for 60 days and don't count on any extension. Problem solved, done and dusted.

You can remain in Thailand until July 2026, as long as you don't get divorced. If you get divorced, you must leave Thailand as of the day the divorce is final. Your extension will be invalid that day.

Since you said you work remotely, you should be able to qualify for a DTV. This will require you to do a border bounce every 180 days, but you'll have a 5-year visa. You cannot get this from within Thailand though, so you'll need to go to a nearby country like Vietnam or Laos to apply there.

Lots of people. They have the requirements listed on their website.

Just book a bus ticket out of Thailand, and then worry about your return ticket once you know. You can apply for your extension 30 days early at most immigration offices and 45 days early in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. That should give you enough time to plan.
