"Kenneth had been staying in a luxury hotel on Koh Pha Ngan"

Given that you need to produce your passport in order to check into a hotel in Thailand how the hell did this guy manage to overstay by 9 years? Maybe hotel owners/managers who do not comply with their legal obligations need to be arrested and charged with aiding and abetting these overstayers.

      DTV & ..question..

      I am confused... how can my O Visa be invalid (in my Passport says it is good until Jan 21, 2025)? ... and from what I read on legal sites: " A Thailand Retirement Visa is often known as an “Extension of Stay based on Retirement.” This is because the Thailand Retirement Visa is an extension of a non-immigrant O visa Thailand or a non-immigrant OA visa Thailand, "

      DTV & ..question..

      Incorrect. 1. Only certain nationalities may have to apply from their home Country. Most nationals can apply at most Thai Embassies, as the DTV is classed as a Tourist visa type. 2. The DTV was rolled out on 15th July and has already been issued to multiple applicants. 3. The requirements from the Thai Embassy DC for the DTV are clear to me. https://washingtondc.thaiembassy.org/en/page/dtv-visa 4. Health Insurance is not a requirement.

      DTV & ..question..

      Your O visa is already invalid, but you have Non Immigrant status and valid permission of stay, which is a permit, not a visa. As your extension is due for renewal in Jan 2025, if you enter prior to your valid permission of stay, then you'll be stamped in until the renewal date. If you enter after your permission of stay expires, you'll receive the 60 day visa exempt entry stamp.
