Thank you. But I'm not ready to do this, even for a 5 years visa.

Yes, you're right. Thanks.

But you can extend it 6 months, no?

Orthodontics seems a bit problematic given my age. An implant seems more realistic — one of my teeth actually ended up breaking in March and is now missing... Thank you for your comments and for your help!

😣

It's a bit unclear to me. In particular, "short" seems to be the opposite of "long-term visa."

You must be right but even dental treatment for more than 6 months seems exceptionally long. What kind of dental treatment lasts more than 6 months?

Yes but aroi mac mac ! 😁 Seriously, it's so expensive ? Otherwise, so that's it ? Muay thai, thai cooking, medical treatment... What else for soft power ?

Really ? Dental treatment doesn't need 5 years... ?

Thanks!

I don't. What else ? Learning Thai cooking?

Hi Scouse123, thank you for your report. Regarding: "The 5-year e-Visa was granted by the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh in January 2025." — how long did you have to wait? I’m not sure I’m eligible for a DTV, even though I’ve been running commercial websites since 1999. I could still apply for a "standard" 2-month e-Visa. I’ve already done this from Korea. Although I submitted all the requested documents, I had to wait two weeks, and they still asked for additional paperwork. Once I sent the extra documents, I received the e-Visa within 24 hours. So my question is: how long did you have to wait for the e-Visa to be emailed to you after submitting your application? BTW, if anyone has experience getting an e-Visa through a Thai embassy in another East Asian country — other than Cambodia, like Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Japan, etc. — I'm interested! Thank you.

??? It seems you're the only well-meaning and knowledgeable people using "rolling" year in this post... ?

Did you already have mathematic problems at school ?

I've carefully checked: in 2024 I stayed less than 6 months in Thailand (175 days). I made 1 border run in Nong Khai and stayed 10 days in Hong Kong. The border run was the first in many years. And in 2025 I came in February 18 with a tourist visa. So, if they refuse me at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang, nobody is going to be accepted.
