Why are you even maintaining insurance that you only got for the LTR? You should have health insurance yes, but the type of your choosing. There is no followup about this at all. You don't need to have health insurance for the LTR for years 2-5. You just need to make sure you buy another year of qualified insurance before you apply for years 6-10 and then let it lapse and use whatever insurance you choose.

Looks like Myanmar is going to be using the same policy as Laos. Evisa must be paid at the embassy.

It's not just possible, many immigration offices will actually require you to take the 30 day extension first before they will even entertain a request for the 60 day extension. Not sure why that is.

You can only get dependent visas based on a work visa if your employer supports it. They will have to provide paperwork to you that allows you to get these.

It's not a fake ticket. The company you buy the ticket from is the one that does the purchase and refund. Paying for the convenience of not having to tie up your own money and do it yourself.

The fact that some airlines check and some don't makes it seem like they have their own rules.

This seems like a completely useless handout to the rich. I can agree that the income limit should be raised, as 100,000 baht per year household income is just 8,300 baht per month which is ludicrously low. But well-off Thais have no need for an extra 600 baht per month and it certainly won't encourage them to have additional children. This government seems hell-bent on handouts to the rich, first with saying they want to decrease income taxes but increase VAT, which means a tax increase on the poor who don't pay income taxes but certainly pay VAT, and now this handout to anyone with a child rather than either increasing the subsidy to the poor, raising the income ceiling, or both, making better use within the same budget.

I'd wager the odds of convincing a low-level ticketing agent to go against company policy based on this would be quite low. If the airline policy says within the amount of days on arrival or says 60 days, then that's what they'll be looking for to check the box on their list.

It's not the rule only for non immigration visas/extensions. It's the rule for all extensions in Bangkok. Both at Chaeng Watthana and Laksi. Tourism extension is no exception. Both tourist visa and visa exempt can be extended when you have 45 days or less left.

Not sure why you are calling it a passport service. It's for "VIP" entry, basically guaranteeing you are allowed into Thailand without the normal scrutiny at the entry counter.

In Bangkok you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp.

You would have to leave Thailand and return before the visa expires in order to activate it. You can't activate a visa from an embassy while inside of Thailand already.

Normally, no. They want to see onward travel within the number of days you'll receive upon arrival. Yes, they know you can get an extension. No, they don't usually care. You can try to plead your case, but that's no guarantee. The official policy is that the onward travel is within the number of days you receive on arrival.

Normally, no. They generally want to see onward travel that shows you are leaving within the number of days you will receive upon arrival. But each airline may interpret the rules differently.

Name one country that requires payment in baht. I don't know how they can have such a requirement to pay in person, but it's quite clear that's the intention since the entire document is very clearly about e-visa. It doesn't make any sense at all, and completely defeats the purpose of e-visa. But Thailand is good at defeating the purpose of well-intentioned systems.
