Well... then he might have bigger problems. But luckily he asked especially about Bangkok, no?

@Bonnie ********

Did I say something different?

@John *********

"They advised me to come back with the original stamp (which I have but no with me)"

That's why...

Try Bangkok Bank HQ... from previous reports it seems to be the "easiest" at the moment. Otherwise you'll probably need an agent... sadly...

@Roberto ********

Ridiculous is to give away a 5 year visa for a dentist appointment or a two week cooking class without even to prove how people can afford to live here. Especially if you are calling for "quality tourists" all the time. But okay... let's use the options as long as they exist... we all know how fast things can change here...

@Stuart ********

Good to know, thanks!

@Maria ********

It's "Long term resident visa", not "...retirement..."

You don't need any kind of visa to buy a vehicle. But if you want to register it in your name you need a "certificate of residence" from the Immigration. And to get this you need to do a 90 day report first (officially). Since you can stay longer than 90 consecutive days with a DTV the answer is yes, you can. If your local Immigration has different requirements and you face any problems you can use an agent as well.

@Henrik ****

Not in this case... check the Embassy in Canberra.

P.S.: He don't want to apply... he's running a gym in Thailand.

@Elías *******

Um... what did I say that makes you feel you need to explain something to me that I am well aware of...?
