Bizarre. So many questions. Where was this? So she applied for a 5 year multi entry visa and they randomly gave her a 3 month single entry visa with no explanation? Hope they didn't charge her the DTV price for the non-o. Did they tell her what kind of non-o? Why are you asking us if the non-o is ok? Are you OK with the non-o? It depends if it meets your wife's requirements.

I was in Hua Hin for 6 weeks in March-April this year and the air was bad there as well.

No, DTV stands for Destination Thailand Visa but it is a tourist visa. Hence the difficulty opening bank accounts without an agent's help.

It could be more than just hassle if Thai immigration offices can continue to have have different interpretations of what is required to extend for various long term Visa's like the DTV. For this reason alone I'll be avoiding that randomness by bouncing before 180 days. It's obviously more hassle but I think less risky IMO.

It's not specific to the DTV. It's for all Visa's and can be found in the royal gazette. Search in here for the details.

Yes, 90 day reports are required every 90 days. Hence the name. 🙂

1st 90 day must be in person, after that you can do it online (if the website is working).

First 90 day report visit is still required but that's it. No extension visits.

And all you need to show is your original DTV approval PDF or DTV sticker if you used an embassy/consulate. No worrying about whether your original documents you used at an embassy/consulate or on the evisa site will be enough for whichever immigration office you try to extend at.

And a DTV (not the extension) costs? In Taipei or in New Zealand? Read my post again. I was saying that by doing an extension vs. reset by leaving and returning, we are opening ourselves to the inconsistencies of these offices. Those documents we used to get our DTVs may not work to get us our extensions because of these differences. I wasn't commenting about extension prices because nobody knows this.
