My immigration officer was confused and had to ask the officer next to them, then they wrote in the end date for stamp and dtv

Don't forget your 180 days has a 90 day report to immigration. The stickers you see isn't the stamp it's a physical copy of the visa from someone doing on person not evisa, but they are the same.

The issue is they will accuse you of working illegally in thailand and denie the visa if you cant.

So most likely they will want evidence of where your money comes from since you've already been in thailand over 6 months

If you have been in thailand for awhile before applying some embassies are not only asking for the 500k statement but they want to know where the money came from. Need to show deposits or withdrawals from outside of thailand especially if using a thai bank account. Even under soft power they can ask about your employment and ability to support yourself without working in thailand so bring as much documentation as possible.

What did you bring in addition to your visa? Did you bring a certificate of residence or any other supporting documents? 3 banks isn't alot of tries either. Same bank different branch may yield better results. Dress well and bring as much supporting documents like residence certificate, house lease, thai license etc.

You need a work permit to apply even for a secured credit card.

thank you for the information I appreciate 🙏

DTV visa is your easiest and most cost effective option then. You could get thailand privilege, but its not worth the cost with the DTV now.

Thailand also has a basic multi entry tourist visa you can apply for easily. You get 60 day stamp everytime you enter and can extend 30 days for 90, then need a border bounce or trip. If you get a 60 day stamp just before end date of the visa you can get almost 9 months
