Sorry, for Brunei it might indeed be 14. It's 15 for Swiss, Luxembourg and Russian citizens as well as Japanese.

Get an extension at the immigration office if possible. If you did go out of country, it can't be to Thailand. Has to be to another country.

Most Thai consulates don't call you in for interviews. However, it's still best not to enter Thailand until your visa has been approved.

Anonymous participant 959 Yes, correct. One individual down in Krabi claims otherwise, but I told her she's wrong and a "know it all". Usually, you'll receive a rejection email after the initial filing, something she probably isn't aware of.

I don't know why they created this bureaucratic nonsense, although at least you can always mail your 90 day report in rather than going in person, regardless of whether it's your first or 10th time following your last re-entry.

The DTV already has a 500K financial requirement. Tourist visas have now had the 20K requirement reimposed.

No, not necessarily. Very many hotels will not. Also, the majority of the time I present my drivers license to check into a hotel. The only time I present my passport is if I need a TM30 in order to do a 90 day report, something like that.
