Hey guys, I have three questions about the STV:

1. Do we know if it will be possible to extend the STV after September 30, when they stop issuing them?

1. For long-term accommodation, should I lease a place before I get there? I was under the impression that to find a place to live in Thailand, you should just show up, but it sounds like they want to know where you'll be before you arrive.

1. (Follow up to #2) If I do have to lease a place, should I lease just for the first 90 days, or should I anticipate the extensions and lease for 180 or 270 days? It's tricky because I want to live in Chiang Mai for a few months but then move South during the burning season - but this won't be until my visa is extended.

Thanks for the help!!
