@Sam ****

You're going to have more of an issue finding schools that will process the education visa than the government approving various schools. go on Google maps, search the area that you are interested in for language schools and begin calling or looking at their websites to find out if they will do the paperwork

have you been entering and exiting the country on a regular basis? What you were talking about sounds like a standard visa run which I have done a few times and then applied for long-term visa. these things are stressful, good luck!

@MissRung ********

dtv tourist visa because it is less than a year.

@Marty ********

thank you so much Marty. I love to do stuff like this myself

@John *******

I like to be in compliance with the United States government as they tend to be a bit thorny when you don't comply with their directives.

@Elías *******

if you read through the DTV requirements the only place that you can get your renewal is in person in Bangkok at the 6-month point. You could also do a border run, but I get tired those.

@Josh ********

What a pain in the ass. I could understand about them having problems with connecting flights because you'd have to go out to the counter which is on the other side of immigration if your flights are in other countries connecting. they call it a transit visa. to not no if you're going to be able to make the flights until after you've entered the airport is really stressful. Good luck to you I don't know what else you could do

for me the con is you have to go to Bangkok at 6 months each year. That's a few hundred bucks in my book that you don't have to spend on the marriage or retirement visas, you just have to file online your location every 90 days of residence in Thailand.

I take out about 20,000 which is $600 roughly little below. Don't seem to have a problem getting that out unless the ATMs are low or not functioning. they're all about the same so just find one that works. 7-Eleven has a few always
