First — idk what your problem is. You always respond to my posts with negative contrarian stuff.

Second — 500k is our proof of funds. We have more than that elsewhere and support ourselves just fine. We fulfilled the requirements to both receive the visa and the extension.

Third — Only two of us are on this visa.

Fourth — You assume a lot about our budget and lifestyle. I’ve lived in Thailand for 10 years. We live a very unextravagant and frugal lifestyle. 500,000 goes a long way.

@Dany *******

Just my rental contract. I included proof of rental payment, but I doubt it was necessary.

Originally I had given a bank statement from Jan-Feb, but as March hadn’t been generated yet, I gave a screenshot of my bank amount. He told me it would be better to give statements, so I brought them when March was generated.

@Greg *******

is correct — authorization letter from company (my own) to work remotely in Thailand. ChatGPT + company letterhead = success.

@Wannikea ********

is correct — you’re just reporting your status in Thailand. All it required was handing them my passport. No charge.

@Garry *****

that’s what I meant by (but can’t) 😜

Leave the country, come back — it will reset without paying a fine.

@Craig *********

you have to exit the country every 6 months or otherwise extend for another 6 months once per year.

Here’s my update from today:

@Paul ******

you’re right. It is not a LTR visa. It is 5 year multi-entry visa that allows you to stay for 6 months at a time.

@Paul ******

I do have a choice. I can choose to extend once per year. If successful, that means traveling *gasp* once per year.
