How long of the waiting time in Vientiane now?

Hi People, My Non O visa expires on 7th Jan 2026, what is the next stage to remain here in Thailand on a permanant basis.

I have sufficient funds in the bank for over the last 2 months.

I have a TM 7, but is that the correct form to stay here.

Hi to all of you!

I have a question concerning the new rules with visa exempt and visa extension.

If I understand well we can technically obtain 2 visa exempt in a calendar year and for the first exempt a 30 days extension and for the second visa exempt a possible 7 days extension.

Now, if I arrived in october 17 and got a 30 days visa extension until january 14:

1- if I go for a border run I should have an other visa exempt;

2- for the visa extension will I have only a possible 7 days extension or because I will be in a new calendar year I would be able to get a 30 days extension.

Also I'm flying back in Canada on april 15 which gave me a 6 months trip.

If I can't get an other 30 days extension I will simply spend a month or in Laos or in Malaysia and come back for the 2 last months of my 6 months trip in Thailand.

I'm 71 years old and spending 6 months a year out of Canada is good enough for me.

And yes next time I will probably apply for a MEV (multi entry visa).

Thanks to all and please if you got nothing positive or usefull about my case I just rather hear nothing from you.

Thanks again!

Good morning to everyone, one question, I made my last extension in December 2024 after a 60 days exempt entry.

I'm back in Thailandia the 16 October 2025 and my 60 days exempt entry will finish the 14 December 2025

Will I get 30 days extension? Which will be the first and only in 2025?

After that I'll will flight to Vietnam for two weeks, should I get another 60 days exempt on my way back to Thailand?

And if my flight back home will be the 13 April 2026, do you guys think I can have another 30 extension? Which will be the first of 2026?

Thanks to everyone who will answer.

Hi. Those who have their DTV and staying 5–> months in Thailand a year, which health insurance you have

I’m looking for advice on maintaining communication with family and business back home. I have Verizon plan that I need to keep because my daughter and grandkids have phones on it. Definitely not using their international travel plan. Do you switch to a local plan in Thailand and can you keep your existing number? Can I make calls using WiFi with my iPhone if I have WiFi calls selected in settings without additional charges? It can’t be that simple can it? Any help appreciated.

Do the consular officers at Thai embassies in the U.S. tend to overlook simple alcohol related misdemeanors (e.g DUI, Public Intox) for Non-O 90-day (retirement) with complete documentation and more than sufficient financial standing/funds?
