Why do I keep facing questioning at immigration with my DTV visa in Thailand?

Kool *******

Immigration stereotypes and profiles, and if you fit any element of their undesirable list you are questioned repeatedly.

How many 60-day visa exceptions with a 30-day extension can you obtain in a 12-month period in Thailand?

Kool *******

It depends if you fit their profiling and stereotyping, in which case it can be just once, as they determined you are trying to stay here long term as a tourist, and they do not like those people at all. If you have dreadlocks and a backpack, then expect a rejection the second time. Regular tourists don't get the 30 day extension.

What are the best practices for applying for the Digital Nomad Visa from the Royal Thai Embassy in Ottawa?

Kool *******

as it stands now you will not meet the requirements for the DTV to work remotely in Thailand. You don't seem to have any documentation whatsoever to prove you have a legitimate business. At the very least do you have a business license?

What bank can I use to open an account in Thailand with a DTV visa for business investment?

Kool *******

Anonymous participant you are on the wrong visa to currently open a bank account no matter what your reason. You should have an attorney for any business dealing anyway. They can help you get everything in order that you need.
