Just be clear, complete, don’t assume we know where you are starting from, and use some basic common sense, and you’ll do great here and in Thailand. Helps if you do a little research first instead of asking blanket questions like please do all my trip planning for me.” We can’t predict the weather a year or months from now, we can only tell you what’s typical for the time of year. And finally, Thailand is one of the most visited countries on the planet. Bangkok is in the top five of the most visited cities on the planet. So you can rest assure that the powers that be are going to make getting here and back as easy as possible considering that tourism makes up probably more than the states 20% of the economy. You’ll be visiting a very advanced country with roots in the ancient and parts of the country still very undeveloped. But most of the places tourists go are very developed… for tourists. Think of it like going to Greece or Mexico, only the Thai food is better and the Greek/Mexican food is more expensive. And it’s a Buddhist country…

Not sure if it remains true, or if it ever was, but if you leave on the last day of your stamp for a border bounce immigration May count it as a 1day overstay. It makes no sense, but it happens to me several years ago.

So all this being said, on the average how long does it take, start to finish, to secure the DTV?

@Allan ********

sounds kind of kinky!

@Aaron **************

… never heard that one before

Yea, but doing the extension now is stupid, do it at the end of the 60 days

If you have any real visa you have to get a reentry visa at immigration or the airport, and I am pretty sure there is no test to get it. Remember, some people get Ed visas to study Muy Thai, which does not involve much if the language.

@Tod ********

that is largely the case. Was never an issue for me in over 9 years at the same address.
