Anonymous participant 253 I think it's a form of stockhold syndrome and these people enjoy going through the time consuming hurdles because it makes them feel like they've achieved something. I've been in and out 3 times since I got the DTV with 0 issues.

@Dany *******
For real though, why not do a border run and have a nice trip? I genuinely don't get your logic behind wanting to go to all this hassle to renew it within thailand for 0 benefit?
Michael ********
Man why do people put themselves through this, it astounds me. Just hop on a flight somewhere nice for a week and fly back in
Michael ********
Man, that sounds like an awful waste of time AND expensive... Took me less than a week to do it in Sydney.

If i was in Asia doing it I'd just research what the easiest embassy is and fly there. Why would you make things so difficult for yourself?
Michael ********
You'll need to be on a high floor and use a satellite
Michael ********
Fly to a better embassy then, pretty simple.

How come you got the paper in your passport? I literally just got a stamp that says the exit day 180 days later
Michael ********
Increasing foreigner tax residents by introducing a 5 year visa with 180 days renewal coupled with the change in tax laws clearly shows a connection dumbass.

It's a bit silly I was able to open a bank acct on a 6 month muay thai visa in 2019 but it's harder to on a 5 year DTV one lol. If they want me to bring money in and pay taxes I need a thai bank account! Isn't that the whole point 😛
