In theory, each entry into Thailand, regardless whether visa-exempt or with any type of visa, is granted at the discretion of an immigration official (IO) within the bounds of Section 12 of the Immigration Act BE. 2522 (1997).

You have heard false information.

I believe it is not "the Embassies", in plural, but only the embassy in London that still has that incorrect information on its website.

The requirement of the so-called 90-day report applies to all holders of a temporary permission to stay unless an exception is published for a specific type of permission to stay. No information about an exemption for DTV holders has been announced.

Yes to both questions.

You may take the immigration official's information to mean that he will grant you a 6-month extension of stay for the reason you outlined if you opt to apply for it after having entered with a DTV visa. As the Police order with the criteria and requirements for extensions doesn't seem to have been amended and published yet, it is useful for you have this advance assurance before applying for the visa in Cambodia. Thank you for having posted it.

Was the parcel posted snail mail or airmail? How long does Poland Post say it should take?

That was for playing with cards that did not have the required government tax stamp on them.

No. I am not giving to look at China. I am going to watch how this plays out in Thailand.

Every so often we see a news article mentioning the draft of a planned new law or new rules being "released for public feedback" How does this work? Is the text published in the Thai news media with an address for sending one's feedback?

Are you saying that the Hua Hin BluPort immigration agreed to issue you a DTV? This would be a novelty.

@lisaflisa On the page https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/page/cate-7394-types-of-visa?menu=5d68c88d15e39c160c00827f of the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and subsequent pages of the section "Types of Visas", I can find no mention of the DTV. It is probably somewhere else on that website but I don't know how to find it.

A virtual tin foil hat. It would have been useful to know what Thai embassy issued the visa but seeing his extreme caution in revealing details I refrained from asking him.

Thank you, @Sum Ting Wong, for posting you DTV arrival stamp. You applied on the basis of Muay Thay training, if I remember correctly.

@jharr For background information on the KR.22, you can read this topic:

@jharr From what you wrote it seems that you got married outside Thailand. Go with your foreign marriage certificate to your local district office and ask what documents they need to get the form KR.22. Best take a Thai person with you for interpretation. Then take two copies of this KR.22 to the immigration office for your extension of stay.

You don't need new visa. With the acceptance letter and receipt from the university and other documents that immigration may require, apply for a one-year extension for the reason of studying at a university.

There is no exemption for foreigners who entered with the DTV.

Thank you, @walio, for your detailed report. Posts like yours are helpful to others who plan to apply for the DTV and I hope many others will report their experience with their embassy, as requirements may vary from one embassy to the next.

If the letter from from your friend's employer states that he is working for the company online, that should satisfy the requirement for "remote worker"

All Thai visas are valid for travel to Thailand from the "valid from" date shown on the eVisa or the visa sticker.

Removed sn off-topic post about a bar stool.

Retirement does not, by itself, qualify a foreigner for the DTV.

Not all immigration offices handle it the same way. Unless your comment is about the Phuket immigration office, your post is off topic.
