What are my options for staying in Thailand after the DTV expires without marriage or large investment?

Chris **********

Who knows yet. There could be an extension, there could be a 10 year thing. All I know is I'm 6 weeks in to life here in Thailand and I can already see myself retiring here. Beautiful country and amazing lovely people.

What should I do if I've submitted the wrong occupation on my Thai DTV visa application and can't provide requested documents?

Chris **********

The system will pick up a new application. I had an issue with my name being incorrect on my application from the passport data, and had to resubmit. The second had no issues being processed. If you can afford it, just do it again mate save the drama

What should I consider when applying for the DTV visa through the Thai Embassy in Australia regarding flight information and bank balance requirements?

Chris **********

You can put flight numbers in as they're usually the same flight numbers for the same carrier on each path. So for instance I put SQxx for my one way flight from Cairns> Singapore> Bangkok
