on the non o 90 day visa can this be made into a multi entry when in Thailand? Within the 90 day period?

Hi all just got off the phone with the thai embassy in London. Had a great conversation about a DTV for the softer reasons like cooking, boxing etc. You need to have confirmation of being on a course or courses totalling 3 months inside Thailand. This can be made up of a 3 month course learning thai cooking or could be made up of 3 x 1 month courses which could include cooking for 1 month, learning a musical instrument I.e. the guitar for 1 month and another month of boxing. Each course would need your name on it and what the course covers I.e. an itinerary and a date of when the course is to take place. I.e. one after the other so giving a total.of 3 months within a 180 day period. They only ask for this for the first year only so after your 3 months of training you have a 5 year visa!! I hope this helps

agree for a 5 year visa even a 6 month course only happens once? What about the other 4. years left on the visa?

I think we would all ne in trouble if they only accepted the very new notes with the kings head on!!! I haven't seen one yet in the UK? It's more likely the thai exchange booths won't have seen the new ones yet either 😄

Brandon I hadn't realised you still need 800,000 baht in a thai bank account for a non O-A visa? I thought you just had to have proof of money in your home account? With the main difference being the insurance? Thx
