I understand

@Bradford *****

but what if I want to return again the same year only a couple months later and visit more often each of the 5 years? This is what I am thinking. The freedom to come and go more freely, leading up to even staying 4 or 5 months before the visa expires! That is why I am here asking…

Thank you

@Bradford *****

I get that .. but I want continue visiting whenever I want to .. I still cannot stay too long each time .. but have been increasing the length of each stay. Next trip will stay about 10 weeks .. with the DTV I do believe this will be easier

@Michael *******

yes — I like the sound of your answer and think this is what I need too.

@Shayne *********

that is what I am going to do … just get it and use it as needed … even if it is much less than most people would use it

@Shayne *********

ok .. thanks for the info … I am not too worried about this and have heard a few similar stories … based on written words alone it would be hard to determine why this happened to this ONE guy … who knows …maybe he looked suspicious. Everyone is different… I will be back in a couple hundred days. My passport is full of empty pages

@Wannikea ********

ahhh.. you meant it as a good thing … that’s what I am thinking too! Khob khun krap!!

@Wannikea ********

“targeted visa applicant”… haven’t heard that one yet. My Passport has a total of 7 entries in 4 years .. my next move is to apply for a DTV. I am a Digital Nomad if there ever was one. My purpose is to stay in Thailand longer periods of time and continue working and spending baht. Saying I am coming to be with my GF would be foolish — thanks for the info I think.

@Shayne *********

been only once this year … probably won’t return until January 2026… I should add … I can speak more Thai than the average visitor too and continue daily studying

@Shayne *********

can you elaborate further? I never thought of it as “safer”.. but if you mean how the Thai government keeps flip flopping on everything … I agree. I did enjoy the 60 days in March and April this year

@John ********

I think so too …
