Can offering a Muay Thai course for visa extension help applicants feel more secure about their immigration status?

Pete *******

@Da ***

don’t you think that question has already been asked many times over! Standard reply from Immigration, and in my case the Jomtien office, was “Sorry Mister no have”.

@Nongnuch *******

that was also my understanding and many Embassies refused but in the report I read he found an Embassy that would accept a Thai language course for soft power option DTV visa. Looks like it’s pot luck.

@Brandon ***********

I have seen a report of Thai language being accepted for soft power DTV in a separate forum. Several Embassies refused but one accepted.

Can I apply for a DTV e-visa in Vietnam instead of returning to the USA?

Pete *******

One option is to get off your current extension of stay by exiting and re-enter on a visa exempt. Simply reapply for the Non-O and then the year extension.

What should I do if I delay my TM30 registration and plan to exit Thailand without a visa extension?

Pete *******

Simply book a single night in a very cheap hotel and ask for a copy of the TM30 and go do your extension. Cheaper than paying the fine.

What documents do I need to obtain a car and motorbike driver's license in Thailand with a retirement visa?

Pete *******

Pattaya DLT

Copy passport, copy visa stamp, medical certificate, certificate of residency, home country license translated and certified if not in English. You need one set of documents for the car and another set for the bike. They accept photocopy’s so don’t pay for two medical and residency certificates.
