Anonymous participant no. You can apply right away

Anonymous participant in that case, the 3 months bank statement is required, but each consulate seems to have different standards. Some require a continuous balance of 500k baht others only require a FINAL balance of 500k baht.

You are right, longer is better. You might be able to reach out to the consulate and ask

@Farang ********

as I said. Because they love it. And can easily afford. And, unlike you, they have the luxury of time and money. It’s not something you need concern yourself with.

They have no need whatsoever for a visa. Visa exempt IS the ‘right visa’. And Thailand has no requirement for them to get one. Pointless waste of time

Anonymous participant you can indeed submit again right away. Perhaps reach out to the processing consulate and see if they can advise about the error?

@Farang ********

You seem a bit unaware of just how affluent the world has becomes

1. Every retiree on earth.

2. Literally anyone. But the year off can also be funded by online work, investment, crypto,

3. They are very often moving about. In and out. Which is precisely why visa exemptions exist.

4. Au contraire. They are so much wealthier than you that they don’t need, or want a visa.

The bottom line is that this issue clearly isn’t in your tax bracket. And tax has NOTHING to do with immigration laws of functions

500,000 THB is the number you need. If you have only 15k… your application and fees are gone

@Farang ********

any tourists with money and love of Thailand. Why ask such a silly question. The answer is obvious

@Ralph ******

they won’t

To make life easy, border bounce before your extension expires and stay out until the new year. Re-enter visa exempt before the 13th

@Farang ********

he is a tourist. Doesn’t need a visa
