@darendsd : if i am right , you must wait 3 months before aplying for another single entry visa. it makes only 2 possible setv per year

Not sure where you have got that from? I was saying if they wanted to make it harder that's what they could do, not that they are dong it

Even if it was true you can do at least 3 visa exempts in a year (probably more), extending them doesn't count as another entry, so 6 months a year on exemptions / extension, plus 6 months on the two possible SETVs = living in Thailand 365 days a year.

i don't really think it will be working , sorry . anyway " our separate way"

another thing : now you must provide a copy of 6-month bank statement with a minimum balance of 600 Euros befor apply the Setv Not really a scandal but all new, and they didn't ask that last year and before.

Of course , a real tourist spend more than 600 euros during 3 months stay in thailand , then what's the use of this ?

Most countries don't have that requirement to obtain the SETV, Belgium must have different rules

The 600 euros is the equivalent of 20,000 baht which has been a listed requirement to get a visa for many years but is not normally asked for a most embassies and consulates.
