What are the differences between the Thai COE application and applying for a Tourist Visa (TR) in Malaysia for the longest possible stay?

Joel *******

Yup, TR is 60 days, visa exempt currently 45. It says you can only extend once but at the moment while the borders are closed they're letting people extend indefinitely

Yes. TR, or visa waiver if you're eligible. AFAIK both are extendable

@Siobhan ******

This is not true. Thailand do not have this rule - you can apply for a visa at any Thai Embassy or consulate - it doesn't have to be in your country of residence.

Everyone in the know right now is saying the STV is trash and not to bother with it. Also Thailand is stopping doing it after September.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure I could have got the same 30 day extension on the visa waiver, right?

It's €50 here and yes, that's a lot for 15 days. In Thailand I could get 30 days for that price.

I applied for the TR visa because I was worried about the airline telling me my return flight was too late. But for an extra 15 days vs visa exempt it does seem like a lot of money and hassle for not much benefit.

Is this message indicating pre-approval for my travel to Thailand?

Joel *******

Yes. Pre-approval means they have approved the first part of the submission, now you have to upload your travel documents and wait for the full approval. People on here saying 'no' are talking nonsense, don't listen to them!

What are my visa options for permanently moving to Thailand, and can I switch from a tourist visa to a non-immigrant visa?

Joel *******

Start with a 2 month tourist visa and take it from there. Currently you can extend a tourist visa indefinitely while the pandemic keeps the borders closed.
