you are wrong as well 😄😅 The correct wording would be like: "You can apply for a DTV through the E-Visa online system of a Thai embassy or Thai consulate in any country outside of Thailand" . . . . . . . you said, "apply through consulate of any country" and that's oh so wrong, because "consulates of any country" could be consulates of any country - and not necessarily be Thai consulates 😂

@William **********

sounds like what somebody who wants to give correct advice do, as a first step. More so if the OP doesn't give enuff details by himself. Knowing the passport country or the OP often solves half of the riddle

@William **********

checking his profile, before giving advice, isn't that difficult

@Mitch ********

that's because the DTV has a "multi re-entry permit" included. If anyone turns up at this border without avisa for Thailand and wants to do q border bounce and enter Thailand visa-exempt, he might get asked for the 2-nights stay (or a tea-money price that will get him through on the same day)

for the application to the Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa - AND for the 1-year Retirement Extension, you have the choice of showing either a minimum of 800,000 THB in your bank account, or a proof of a monthly income of a minimum of 65,000 THB. For the application to the E-VISA in your home country, the money can be in your home bank account. For the application to the 1-year Extension, the money needs to be in your Thai bank account

how much to get one from get out of Kansas, for a U.K. resident? 😄😂😄😂 . .he is a Brit, not a hillbillie

@shanm******

you have two options to get a 90-days Non-Imm-ED (education) visa:

*** apply for it in your home country before you fly to Thailand. You will need documentation from the school or university you plan to attend

*** apply for it on Immigration inside Thailand. This process is called “change of visa type” from a 60-days visa-exempt entry or from a 60-days Tourist Visa, to a 90-days Non-Imm-ED Visa. Also done with documentation from the school or the university

Under both options, the airline CAN ask you for a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within the period you will get stamped in, if you show them a one-way ticket at the Check-In counter

@shanm******

you can use a cheap one-way flight ticket like Air Asia from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur for 36 US Dollar for proof of onward travel - to throw away

you don't "extend my visa". A visa cannot get extended. The visa you used to achieve the "extended stay permit" has become invalid already. Immigration just extends a stay permit. The stamp you receive in your passport clearly states that you got a stay permit and not a visa. A 1-year stay permit based on reason "Retirement" . . . and for this stay permit, you can buy a "re-entry permit". This re-entry permit has a validity for use until the expiry date of your extended stay permit

single re-entry is 1000.- THB, a multi re-entry is 3800.- THB. At the Airport if you haven't any prepared forms and pictures, you will need to add 200.- THB to these fees. Why I take a notice? I got my own visa advice group, I just can't allow myself to hand out incorrect information 😊
