Because not everyone wants to do an extension after 60 days and then a border run after the 30 days extension.

For us as a family of 4 (with 2 small kids) ‘just doing a border run’ is not ‘just’ 🙂

Also it gives you a visa for the next 5 years not just the next 60 days.

And because every entry gives you 180 days.

yes we saw that we have to go to Jakarta. Would it possible to apply for his in the netherlands through his parents and me going to Jakarta or it has to be done same embassy 100%?

we do have a business online but are just starting and have no real proof of income to show for by the time we will get to Thailand

@Pete ******
that’s the other option. But it means a trip to Krabi from Koh Lanta for extension and a border run to KL with 2 kids. So financially potentially more costly and logistically more complicated

because we have 2 kids and border runs are a whole thing. Also because we might want to come back to Thailand in the next 5 years. And we are in Bali now. Not planning on going back to ‘home country’ before heading to Thailand

I feel irritation seeing your laughing emoji. Also feel no wish to explain or justify to you our lifestyle.
