little do you know 😉

I’ve been here for three years straight and I haven’t done the 400k baht method. There’s ways to do it. I refuse to move my money into a Thai bank when I can build interest in my Canadian bank account.

@Doug ******

there is a lot of information on the DTV page about this. I think this maybe your best solution.

ok, well then it’s easy. Get a proper visa and you shouldn’t have any problems staying long term. Even saying that, you run into the chance of being questioned. People with proper visas still get questioned now and then.

So here are the options;

If over 50 non-o.

If married to a Thai or a Thai child again, non-o.

Study Thai language ed visa.

Work online, money made outside of Thailand DTV visa.

Have lots of money elite visa.

Or you can do what a lot of people do. Use the visa exempt and do border bounces with a company.

I know people who have been here for years doing this.

Easy. Come on the 60 day exempt then do the extension. I suggest you then do a border bounce with a company to get a fresh 60 days.

Or do the METV and bounce out and back after a few days. I guess it comes down to money and your time.

Here is where she can do it online instead of having to go to immigration.

@Doug ******

you can go soft power which is going to a cooking class, medical appointments, or Muay Thai classes. You don’t need monthly income for that. You just need the money in your bank account (500k฿).

@Robyn ************

thank you very much for replying. I’ll look into it when I return back to Canada.

@Benny ****

yes, please let us know who you spoke with. I’ll be applying once I get back to Canada next month and I’d like to be able to get the “look over” of my documents, instead of being denied and losing the fee.

Thanks.
