I don't want to f*** up with the country I live in and the thai embassy.... That seems great advice to get in sh*t and big troubles

@Jason *****

I've spent half of my life in asia and actually I'm a permanent resident in taiwan. I've been to thailand quite a few months during the past 3yrs and I already got asked a few questions at the immigration the other year after 4 months spent there. I want to avoid any issues with the immigration and burocracy.

@Brandon ***********

of course things might change but according to the actual law/rules, can someone stay legally in thailand for 5yrs just by doing a border run every 6 months with a dtv visa gotten for medical reason?

@Andi **********

the point that isn't fully clear to me is, I know that I can get 180+180days. My question is, will I get that for 5 yrs and with that being allowed to live legally in thailand for all those years or it'll be over after that 180+180?

@Ga**

I am in my early 40s and I would never have a pension. I am tired of working and I need to get rid of some stress. I got some saving (small) which could allow me to live for few years without worrying too much and meanwhile figure out what I want to do in life . I currently live in asia but not in thailand. I don't feel that a DTV would burn my bridges, wouldn't it?

@Andi **********

will that enough to get 5years of DTV?

they are also working so you don't have that many options. Or you pay for their service or you do it yourself. Nobody likes to work for a bag of peanuts...

no offence but if you are don't want to pay that much money then u do it yourself. Agents make their living out of lazy farangs who aren't even able to blow their own nose. Do your researches on internet and you can solve your issues for a fraction of the money they asked otherwise you open your wallet and pay what they ask u

Dude, I broke my foot and it took almost a year to do basic things without feeling pain. About your question, why don't you ask that to the embassy you are applying your visa for? As far as I know you are free to choose whenever to use your visa or not (before it has expired) but this DTV is something new so I'd double check with them

be a good boy, I can see you do like me but I'm not going to spend any time with you. I'm not into old grumpy men. You give 1000baht to your wife and ask her to help satisfy your fantasies ;)
