@Amir ********
yes, owning a property, having a long term visa/work permit or being married to a Thai national. Without any of those you're up to the luck of the day, but if any of these three, you're totally "safe".

no need. If not paid, it doesn't mean a thing. Just create a new one.
Elías ********
Yes, leave the other unpaid, if will automatically disappear from the system in 14 days. You don't need to wait for it to disappear to create a new application, and pay. The Embassy will see and review only the paid ones.

I won't argue that it sounds like a stupid rule, but, nothing that a short (like same-day) trip abroad can't solve. You can take a flight in the morning, then come back in the evening, and voilà, you get 180 more days.

Participante anónimo 987 yes, and by the Thai authorities themselves, the DTV is "not" a long term visa (I know, this doesn't sound about right, but legally speaking, it isn't one)
Elías ********
Anonymous6161 yes, they will, there are three conditions that allow you to hold an account, and one of them is owning a place. As long you meet at least one of the three you're good. That's what I read today on the news.

Yes, it's happening as, in theory, you shouldn't have (meaning you weren't allowed to) open the account on the first place.
Elías ********
No need. I always come in and leave on one way tickets (as I'm not sure of the dates in advance). Been coming in and out once every two months since August.

No appeal. He can try at another Embassy, maybe. But you need to check as certain citizenships are allowed to apply ONLY at specific places.
