You need a visa there, but can get it right at the border. About 50 USD.

Thank you for posting. We all need to hear this info. 🙏 I definitely plan to leave every six months. Please let us know how the re-entry goes: which port of entry and if there were any questions. Have a good holiday! Penang Malaysia is fun and delicious if you need a cheap, closeby recommendation. Siem rieap Anchor Wat is a jaw dropping piece of history standing close by as well. 😃

It took 1 week from Ottawa. They asked for some supporting documents after 4-5 days and then approved shortly after they got them.

Bangkok Bank and telling them how much you'll deposit is basically your best shot without an agency.

Depending what embassy you are applying from, it may be okay to get letters signed by clients explaining the work you do for them and for how long you've been doing it, with their contact information. Also, bank statements dating back six months or so with regular payments from said clients to back it up. I did that in Canada and it worked fine as part of my evidence. I did also have evidence of my company name on my tax forms, and a bit more as well.

Good idea. Try, and if it is complicated, then do a border run as back up.

With all the complicated issues surrounding the DTV, one clear thing is you need 500k baht equivalent in a checking or savings account to show them.

Canadian Currency in a chequing or savings account. Mine was in a saving in Tang. Bank for Ottawa.

Our condo is in my wife's name, so she has to fill out the TM30. Does anyone have the official gov link for the TM30?
