No because when you go to activate it they'll see you were in Thailand at the time you applied and your $$ and effort was for nothing

Will having a DTV Visa in Thailand cause issues if I don't have a return ticket?

Dennis *********

Normally airlines have issues over 60 days without a visa but with a visa should not be any issues. Don't think they care about what type of visa really

Is the new 300 baht arrival fee in Thailand going to be implemented soon?

Dennis *********

The original post I read said "maybe December or maybe as late as June/July. Thailand always throws out these "trial balloons" that are only concepts, and people panic and think it's happening "now". The 300 baht arrival fee has been tossed around for years, and now it's in the news again, but nothing more than vapor so far.

What is the new e-visa or electronic travel authorization for Thailand starting December 1st?

Dennis *********

As far as I know this is not approved/published, and still going through the government processes. and no definite starting date. many ideas are discussed, some get approved, some gets debated forever, some approved.

What are the best visa options and strategies for a 60-year-old retired Canadian planning to stay in Thailand longer than 90 days?

Dennis *********

could just go to Thailand 60 days visa exempt, then find a local agent, does cost a bit, but quite easy and painless. They'll also get you setup with a bank account.

What documents do I need to apply for a 30-day visa extension in Thailand at Jomtien immigration office?

Dennis *********

@David ******

you can't book your return ticket based on a "possible" extension. it has to be within the initial 60 days "assuming visa exempt". Is best to get a ticket that has cancel/rebook. If you don't probably not going to be immigration, but your airlines will not even give you a boarding pass, if you do not follow the rules.
