Can DTV visa holders apply for a work permit in Thailand?

Rich ****

Even on an entry stamp or tourist visa? Seems they have really clamped down on this. I'm in Chiang Mai.

Will not receiving an entry stamp after using auto gates cause problems re-entering Thailand?

Rich ****

If you enter by auto gate you must exit by auto gate. No stamps. No problem returning to Thailand.

Is 5500 baht a normal rate for a visa run from Pattaya to Cambodia?

Rich ****

Fly to KL or Vientiane for 5000 baht. Spend a few nights there. Fly back. This looks more legit overall. And much safer than the minivans.

How do I renew or extend my NON OA visa in Thailand?

Rich ****

@Marty ********

Do you know some of the differences? I believe if you apply for Non O while in Thailand the health insurance is not a requirement. But the OA requires health insurance and must be applied for outside of Thailand.

Check cooking or massage schools in Chiang Mai. Laos is usually the best place to get new visa.

What are the insurance requirements for applying for a Non-O visa outside Thailand?

Rich ****

Thanks everyone for the input. The Thai Embassy said by email that I need one year of insurance. It's a mute point now since I couldn't get the criminal background check completed in time in BKK (must go in person unless you use an agent, and I'm in CM).

What are the pros and cons of using a visa agency to help obtain a visa and open a bank account in Thailand?

Rich ****

Yes renewals are much cheaper. $2000 USD to start seems a bit steep. Is that mainly to get the Thai bank account and/or bypass the 800,000 required deposit?
