So you're saying saying that spouses must also meet the criteria for a DTV? What's the point of a spouse "add on" in that case? And where does it say that in the infographic? 😂
And Thailand is choc-a-bloc full of expats paying wayyyyyyy over the top for visa agent extensions. The mind boggles what they will pay in dirty money but will whine like a cat in agony if they're charged 20 baht more for a taxi fare. Thailand certainly attracts some strange people
I think you'll find embassies and consulates across the world charge the higher prices. The UK prices are also high. But realistically, Aussies (especially retirees) are well cashed-up and the 14,000 baht is really cheap. I know some guys are paying visa agents 20,000+ just for a one-year extension and it doesn't seem to bother them, so I can't see the extra 4,000 baht being a problem. I spend that amount on a good night out! I see the Elites are melting down over the new "Super Visa"!
Both Australia and UK are also charging a higher price. Probably find other countries are too. It's no big deal. If you don't want to pay for it, look a different visa
It'll save a lot over the non-O visa. In fact it'll pay for itself for frequent travellers. It's a little beauty. Get onto some of the other forums. It's the hottest visa topic for years! Even if the Elite Visa group is in massive meltdown!
That's only if you remain in the country. You can leave at any time in the 180 days stamp, and then re-enter for another 180 days. The Ministry has already published this and stated "per entry"
