Anonieme deelnemer 107 Who said the DTV not is multi entry or not valid for 5 year? It just has stays less than a year
Luit *****************
Mr 5 Bank Accounts Does this mean it is an old visa not existing anymore? I cannot find it on the evisa site and now all visa have to be applied for at the same evisa site.

This might work because of the weekly culture part of the course.

Anonieme deelnemer 185 What is weird about border runs and Google AI?

And why should I get normal TR when I stay 4 or 5 months a year in Thailand like you suggest? I know I can get normal TR and extention and the visa exempt if I am lucky to cover such a period, but the TR visa and extension each year will cost me more than DTV will cost, and saves me the hassle of a border run and extension.

And you can use it to the max as long as the loophole is not closed, no problem, but don't try to tell it was intended as a long stay visa while at the moment all signs show different.

Anonieme deelnemer 107 Please show me info about that visa, I do not find multi entry non-o, only multi entry non-oa and non-ox and they are just valid 1 year without the need to exit after 90 days.

For non-o I only know the 90 day single entry version which you can extend in country with a 1 year extension, also no need to exit the country every 90 days.

I did not say the visa does not work that way, the discussion was about if it was intended that way.

I know you can influence AI to give the answer you prefer.

With the simple questions I showed you find which visa are intended for long term use and which are not.

But to be honest I am not interested in your ideas about this, they are totally irrelevant for me.

You started this by being wondered why immigration makes people using the loopholes in the DTV feel unwelcome, and I made clear why this is.

If you don;t want to hear an answer on your question, just don't ask.

In no way I want to say people should or should not use this kind of loopholes, but just don't be surprised some might not like the use of loopholes.

I understand what you mean with checkpoints, but if they wanted to do that it was much easier to do that the same way as non-o visa.

Checks at country entry are not practical and only a small percentage will be checked.

But I don't want to discuss this any further, the original question was why immigration made people feel unwelcome while they complied with the rules.

I tried to answer that question, and gave the most common sense answer and now it looks like I have to defend that I have the same ideas as the majority in the world.

When people use someting a visain a way it was not intended, they can expect immigration does not like that, but as long as they comply with all visa rules at the moment of entry it is unlikely they will stop you.

When they don't want so, they should close the loopholes.

Anonieme deelnemer 185 Just ask this to Google: "is DTV meant to live year round in Thailand"
Luit *****************
Anonieme deelnemer 185 Nobody says you cannot or should not use tricks to use DTV as a long term visa.

But use tricks like border runs and they think it is weird immigration does not like it is just starting to believe in your own dream world.

As said before, use Google AI and see what is a common sense in this case, or do you think Google AI also tries to spread own ideas to feel authoritive in a facebook group.

Anonieme deelnemer 185 believe what you want, but the way you think they designed it just does not make sense.
