What is the process for obtaining a year extension of stay on a NON-O visa in Thailand?

Rick ***********

Gosh, I did not mean to get anyones knickers twisted by pointing out that "if you do things correctly, it's a doddle" is not actually the determining factor for a smooth experience, although it is certainly useful. Actually I had never heard the word doddle previously and it amused me to contrast it with the word dingleberry.

It may have been a doddle this year but it could just as easily be a dingleberry next year.

What is the process for applying for the DTV visa while facing complications with the Non-O visa in Thailand?

That was an interesting read. I was waiting for you to also start talking about the insurance requirement.

What are the new driving license regulations for foreigners in Thailand's Chonburi District?

Rick ***********

I am actually a little confused by what this means. I have a one-year extension of a non B Visa. I wonder if it means that when I apply for the 5 year license renewal, because there's less than one year left on the extension, I will only get a two year license.

What should I do after my Thai visa application was canceled due to missing my middle name?

Rick ***********

It's crazy that they don't tell you what was wrong. I know lots of people defend them for rejecting applications on technicalities, not telling why they are rejected, and keeping the money. I think those people are crazy too.

What are the current challenges for expats and tourists entering Thailand on visa-exempt entries?

@Phil ********

I don't think there are actual clear rules that people can follow. That is the problem.

Why was my DTV application in Vietnam rejected despite providing all required documents?

@Expat *********

I'm referring to the fact that people applying for tourist visas or pretty much any kind of visa to the USA are often rejected with no explanation after having paid the fees.

Why was my DTV application in Vietnam rejected despite providing all required documents?

Rick ***********

That is absolutely absurd on their part. They are taking a page out of the USA visa application process and denial.

What should I know about completing a 90-day report in Bangkok on a DTV visa?

Rick ***********

FYI. If circumstances ever require you to go there again you can make an appointment online and that works great. In and out in half an hour. Appointments, however, are limited. Just Google 90 day online appointment.
