That is a pretty straightforward category of DTV to apply for,

I think any of the consulates would be okay for you to apply thru,

Usually reports are that the ones in Malaysia have longer processing time, I'd try Hanoi, or HCMC they're pretty fast

@Matthew ********
Jomtien started doing it when the seasoning switched to 3 months after the extension was granted.

Many people have reported having to update their bank book and show back up on the 3 month mark.

In theory as soon as you fail to meet the criteria for the extension, that extension can be voided. I have never heard of it happening,

but

I have had people who got caught out the following year because they didn't keep the funds in the 3 months after their extension was granted,

they had to leave, come back and start all over from zero with a new non o etc

Don't quite know what to tell you, even AI got it right when I asked when the 100K USD mandatory insurance took effect for OA visas

The requirement for the Thai Non-Immigrant "O-A" Visa to include $100,000 (approximately 3 million Baht) in health insurance coverage, specifically including COVID-19 treatment, officially began on October 1, 2021. While the change was confirmed by the Thai government in June 2021, and announced for implementation around that time, the implementation date for the new, higher coverage was set for October 1, 2021.

Most all consulates the world over require that 100K USD mandatory insurance many of them require it through a Thai carrier because foreign carriers will not sign the foreign insurance certificate

Edward Stanza sadly that is only if you stay at the exact same address the entire time.

If you move addresses you are going to have to do every 90-day report in person depending on where you are
Tod *********
Well, wherever you stay, make sure that person files a TM 30 on you showing your registered as staying at that address and then when you're 90-day report comes up file your 90-day report at the immigration office that serves the area where you're staying.

Should work no problem

@Tim *****
yep, they are close BUT the way you can tell is the 90 day report receipt is now almost always hard printed on it's own paper, they don't tear off the bottom and stamp the next 90 day report date on it

@Peter ********
they did not ask for it, BUT they can see in the system when you filed your 90 day report IF it's the same address as your TM30 😉

@Jon *****
believe it or not some offices DO require you file a new TM30 with them for domestic travel too 😕 BUT most don't, you have to check with your office and see what they say

You just need to look at the re-entry permit to get your answer

you'll see that it has a valid until date the same as your yearly extensions

All re-entry permits are only valid for the same time as the extension stamp they're issued on
