I only know of people using Washington DC for it, but they’ve all been successful so far

Let it cool off for the full 90

What embassy? European/western embassies **seem** to be more flexible and less restrictive.

@Frank ********

never did I say I was offended. What makes you make such assertions? Is it fragility?

@Frank ********

they were your words, hoss.

“Whenever it suits the embassy”

LOL

You’re asking permission to enter a sovereign land for an extended period of time. They can answer you whenever/however they deem fit.

You cant get a DTV on arrival. You have to apply through a Thai embassy prior to departure. Their policy (last I saw) suggests applying no more than 45 days and no less than two weeks from the date you wish to fly.

Anonymous participant maybe

There are several Thai law attorneys on youtube that have discussed this. Here’s the gist:

The law is pretty well managed on this. Provided you are not maintaining a Thai bank account, your funds don’t functionally exist in Thailand. As such, they are not taxable. It isn’t until you import funds into the country that they become taxable.

So, either operate without a Thai bank account or prepare to pay taxes on the sum of all monies imported to your Thai account(s).

There is no reasonable way for the government to track ATM withdrawals, so those are functionally safe.
