I'm currently in thailand I see everyday cases way worse than this ;)

if u have 500k in bank you could ask for a dtv visa that goes up 180days/year + another 180days extension

Well, if each stay was for a week or so then you won't have any issues. If each time you visit thailand you stay there for a month or over then you might get a very hard time when u get in. The 3rd time I tried to get in the country last year I got asked a lot of questions at the immigration, I had to show my ticket off and that I had enough money to live there. I got free when I showed them I have a business (a cram school) in another country and that I was there just for holidays

Educational visa means you need to attend the school/course cuz the school gets raid. it's valid 90days which can be renewed up for a year. No money to show off but u obviously have to pay the school. DTV visa needs 500k in bank, it's 180days that can be extended up to a year

porcoddio, I've tried to read that 5 times and still didn't get it

@Kool ******

not true, if you get an ED visa you don't need to show u got 500k in the bank which is just for the DTV visa

@Henrik ****

dude, you should read the point #2 before stating that is only for people who work from remote.

of course, porcoddio. You can get an ED visa without showing off money but if you want the DTV one of the requirement is to show finances over 500k thb

well, if u sit and drink beer that's less likely to happen.... The problems come when the cops got a picture of you holding a rake in your hand and you have to prove in front of a judge that you were just doing gardening. I had to deal with the cops in the past and the captain got mad at me forcing me to pay for something I didn't have to otherwise he would have put me in the monkey house till the day of the process....
