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.

It's an extension. It extends your time. It's added on to the end because the extension you'll be applying for will be for the reason as the entry stamp you receive.

Most immigration offices allow you to apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your permission to stay stamp.

Some larger offices (Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai) allow you to apply when you have 45 days or less left.

So in Chiang Mai you would need to wait at least 15 days after you enter before applying for the extension.

They retired most of the smart visa types in lieu of the LTR visa

@Jim ******

the only time it needs to show as international transfer is when you're trying to convert from tourist to non-O visa based on retirement inside of Thailand. The one year extension doesn't have that requirement.

You cannot get a DTV inside of Thailand. It's only available from Thai embassies through the e-visa system.

It's also not as simple as just applying. You need to qualify first, and then provide all the paperwork as part of your application showing that you qualify.

@Jim *****

if they don't come back and tell you that you're not accepted then yes
