Anonymous participant Malaysia not good...

And there's no DTV visa for meditation...

If you are Only going to be in Thailand 6 months, apply for the METV multiple entry tourist visa in your home country before you go to Thailand. With planning it can get you up to 8 months stay in Thailand with 2 simple BORDER BOUNCES.

In rereading your post, you are already in Thailand.

What is your passport nation...???

How long are you REALLY PLANNING on staying in Thailand?

What's your recent 12 months history of being in Thailand?

Doubtful that you will be approved for the DTV visa with that plan.

That's too many months of delay from your arrival into Thailand.

A month from start is reasonable to allow time to get settled in with housing.

Is this for Muay Thai training?

IF so, how many months of training are you going to sign up for?

What is your passport nation?

Where are you now?

Where do you plan on submitting the DTV visa application?

It depends on the border you use and the Thai Immigration Officers you meet.

Suggest you use an experienced border run service company to take you with same day return guaranteed with a new 180 days stamp in your passport.

What is your passport nation?

Where are you now living in Thailand?

Flying out and returning the same day is possible.

there's NO equivalent of the DTV visa in Vietnam. In fact Vietnam does not even offer a retirement visa.
