purchasing a villa cannot be used in the equation at all. As obviously, the villa doesn’t actually belong to you

can be issued anywhere by e-visa system and applying on the BOI site. And it often takes less than 20 business days if you can easily prove the funds.

If you qualify, LTR is the only way to go. By far the best visa in Thailand

I don't support it. Because it is not smart or well thought out. My point is quite clear. But then again, my income doesn't depend on how people manage the issue as yours does. And i also wish you a good day krub.

@AllSabaai *****
that is your opinion, and it's not a very smart one. You will obviously spend considerably more than 2000 baht for the trip to Malaysia and need to pass thru immigration in both countries twice. Nobody is going to get rejected on re-entry, but if you didn't understand that long ago, i don't know what to say. The point is, renewal in country costs a LOT less than travel outside. And obviously that makes sense for many DTV holders. For others, they will travel in and out often. Ur welcome for the information. Now you can understand better.

a border bounce costs time+efforts+hassle+ uncertainly also. And more $$. Just stating the obvious

Anonymous participant 855 a ‘few months in advance’ lol. Why?

And nobody is mistaking DTV as anything but a budget visa. They required you show only 500k THB for a 5 year visa. Plenty of DTV peeps operating on a shoe string. It’s not gonna be confused Thai Privilege or LTR

as a more frequent traveller to Thailand, I don’t worry about it at all. Nothing to fear

drive to immigration to stand in line at immigration to pay 1900 baht… or just do nothing and get a red stamp. Tough decision

@Frode ********
no they really aren’t. Same as always. Just more people making noise on the internet. And overstay stamps are irrelevant. You have paid your fine. That’s all there is to it
