it doesn't from the US. Just use wise or swift. Or even ACH into Bangkok Bank in New York City

Allianz annual travel insurance. But it is only good for 90 from home and they check.

Works for me because I fly back and forth every 2-3 months

laos you have to actually go to the embassy to pay for the non O. Can't cross into Cambodia by land.

Don't play games with a VPN to apply out of country, they will know that you never left the country and you will have problems.

Seems like a good time to take a week vacation

sorry you are correct, however the DTV is from foreign affairs not immigration... The point I was trying to make ( and incorrectly ) was that it is not issued by immigration but the IO had control over it at entry immigration.

The biggest problem is that it's not a visa from immigration but from BOI. There is still an open question if you have to maintain qualifications to extend our re-enter. Some IO have given people a hard time, some people have no problem.

You are supposed to be able to get a Thai DL with a DTV, but some DLT won't do it.

So as with most things in Thailand your mileage may vary.

I would also say that bank account is a really big deal. Free access to ATM and QR to pay is a huge deal of you really spend time here. Also for payment of utilities and rent .

If you qualify, it is a super easy visa to get and it's cheap.
