yes and yes 🙁

@Steven **************

it depends on the khet :)

Does not need one, just police clearance (finger print taken at the police station opp central world and mail it back to your country's police dept handling police clearance.) and a 'Affirmation of Marital Status' from your own country. They need to be stamped by your embassy and translated to thai, than stamped by MFA in bkk. There is a translation shop at the 2nd floor of MFA. (passport needs to be included as well) (bring your half to the khet and ask them what is needed.)

You can go lao and come back in again to get another 60 days if you are on visa exempted ?

Go try the DTV, must better than student visa.

I think they are referring to titer test. They need to do the titer test before they are allowed to fly 🙁

Go to the thai embassy in your country to apply for a retirement visa, use that to come in bkk, and use that to open a bank account. go google, not that hard.

Get a file, put all documents in it. I use to copy everything x 5. just pull out when they ask for it. (just make new pictures)

some times, they will never return the deposit.
