@Abhishek ******

are you sure this is happening now? At which border?

@Rajivv ****

I expect a border run has more risk than an extension.

An extension they only can refuse and then you have seven days to leave.

A border run to get a 60 day stamp for the third time in a year has a high risk of being refusded entry

@Abhishek ******

What kind of questions?

@Ryan ***

since it is 60 days, they are more strict.

That seems normal to me, 30 days can be a bit short for a holiday, but over 60 days or even 90 days and then again within a month has nothing to do with tourism, so it is a correct decision of the immigration officer.

@Bal ********

that depends on your situation and why you want to stay in Thailand.

@John *****************

correct

Just get the proper visa for your purpose of stay and you don't have to wait.

Visa exempt is for tourists, and I think with 3 visits of a month and one visit of 3 months in about a year time it might be difficult to make an immigration officer believe you are a tourist, but you just might have some luck.

@Marcus *******

so since Wise is not a Thai bank card, it should have a fee of 220 THB or am I missing something?

@Dennis ********

It is up to you what cash you need to trade with. It is up to MFA to decide what they want from applicants for DTV, and I can understand they want to keep it simple. Just a direct access savings account is simple. When they accept different, what would they have to choose as limits? 2 days like your account? What can happen with that money in 2 days? Some applicants might just speculate with high risks. They just want have applicants have a stable financial position, that is also why some embassies want to see the money during a longer period and not just transferred to the account for the visa application.

But the fact you never need over $500 to trade with speaks for itself I think, obviously you see 500K as big money.

@David ********

IDP alone is not a drivers licence, it has to be used together with the national drivers licence you obtained the IDP with.
