What is the best way to achieve a 6 or 9 month visa or stay in Thailand while visiting other countries?

Ian **********

@Martin ********

Yes I think so. You can stretch it for nearly 9 months and nothing to stop you leaving at the end and returning for a 60 +30 day visa-exempt. This will give you nearly a year

Ian **********

An METV will cover you and it is valid for 6 months but if you exit and return just before it expires you can get nearly 9 months out of it. You get 60 + 30 extension on each entry.

Do I need the TM 7 form for my 90-day report as a DTV visa holder in Thailand?

Ian **********

TM 7 is for extending stay so you don't need that for 90 day report. Just take your passport to the immigration office. You do not need an agent

How can I open a bank account in Thailand to apply for a retirement visa since banks require a visa to open an account?

Ian **********

Yeah, it's called catch-22. If you have a non-Imm O Visa, you should be able to open an account. Just keep trying different branches

Do I need a TM30 form for my 30-day visa extension in Thailand?

Ian **********

If you are staying in a hotel, the hotel would have registered the TM30 online. If you are in private accommodation then you may be in trouble. You should not leave the extension until the last day. Most offices let you do it anytime in the last 30 days. Jomtien will only allow the last 7 days.
