I already answered this to someone else but basically the extra paperwork & inconvenience, 3 months for 400k thb in my case in an account (2 months prior to extension and 1 month waiting to get final stamp, not wanting to wear a crap exchange rate and so on. Just too restrictive against the ease of DTV. Hope that help you understand
yeah with the rubbish exchange rate I didn’t feel like bringing in the 400k bht for my O Spouse extension plus the paperwork so suits me. Plus more trips back to Oz in my future
