i may not know everything about thailand, but i do know how this part currently operates…. So my friend, your denial that it exists is little more than clueless.

Like i say - you dont know what you dont know.

@Kool ******

incorrect im afraid.

You just dont know what you dont know.

A friend convinced them to deport him to Laos.

However, it was due to a 3rd party error (a school) and the school spoke with immigration and got the temporary reprieve rather than being deported to the Usa - so they could sort the issue out.

Perhaps - a small token of appreciation might convince the IO to allow a similar flexibility.

@Craig *******

same here. Im in bkk, agent is 2 mins away, IO is a grab ride away and back not to mention half a day on site.

No brainer using an agent.

All the students at my language class are on ED Visas.

Im the exception - but i came on dtv medical - legitimately, i had a spinal

Op in bkk and still ongoing.

RWFU youtube channel dude.

so from that statement, you are making an assumptions about intent - derived from the published rules.

Watch the interview (RWFU youtube channel) - head of immigration specifically discussed people using it to stay year round - with extension and border runs.

Its why i picked the DTV as i was looking at other options - im here on medical - and knew i’d need to be here for ongoing support.

In terms of thailand making sense - as much as im sure both you and I are love it here, it doesnt always make sense….

@Luit ****************

you should watch the interview with the head immigration official who said - it was designed exactly for people who wished to stay here all year.

Follow the documentation you have.

You have to do 90 day reporting though.

@Stewart *****

glad you enjoyed your stay.
