Applying for a visa does not take much time, less than half an hour, and when you fill in correctly, an comply with requirements, you don't lose money, and for somebody easy spending over $, loosing $340 is peanuts...

Thailand does not reject money, some people just don't want to pay for a visa.

Maybe I try just do by registered mail next time, but you asked to show an official asking to say it has to be in person, and I just showed you.

No idea if the online system is making difference for regions.

I not have to choose an office online, but the system might do depending on address of course.

Anyway I did go to the office, the desk employee looked at my passport and documents and asked if I need extension, so she did not look very well when I still have over 90 days on my stamp and hand over a TM47 and TM30.

I said I wanted to do 90 day reporting, she took documents, no further questions and within 3 minutes another officer handed me over my passport and a TM47 receipt.

I wonder why I needed to be there in person...

After applying online I got email with following text:

Dear ,

Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

For first-time requests of a 90-day notification in each country visit, in-person presentation at the immigration office is required.

That would be OK I think, I cannot expect non bussiness cannot be paid cash and with 3 percent extra charged it is even cheaper to pay high ATM fees if you have no other option.

But in the situation of the opening post when you can only pay by QR it might be handy.

Anonieme deelnemer Keep in mind that it is soft power, so it should give Thailand a higher ranking. So high profile treatments would make a better chance than simple routine treatments.

Anonieme deelnemer when you not sure Thailand still is the best place to get the medicin in a year, why invest in a visa and all extra costs here. Is it not possible to get the medicin in a country where you don't need a visa to stay?

TM30 is the form with which a property owner has to register a foreigner who stays in his property.

Anonieme deelnemer I wonder why you make it difficult for yourself. I guess since you now are already sure you need the medicine the rest of your life, you need to stay the rest of your life in Thailand and then DTV might not be the best visa

Anonieme deelnemer I think just monthly injections don't qualify, but you don't have to convince me, but embassy staff
