Hi all,

Has anyone has had any experience with the 90 day reporting at the immigration office in Koh Tao? if so, how was the experience?

Many thanks in advance.

Do you have DTV visa and renewed your passport (and got a new number) from within Thailand? My question is if I just have to bring my old passport to 90-day reporting and when entering/exiting Thailand, or I need to go to Immigration. Thanks!

Is the US a good country to apply for DTV from?

Under DTV, can I stay the full 5 years leaving and coming back to Thailand right after every 6 months?

I read I can extend for more 180 days inside the country one time... Is this rule only apply once for the entire 5 years? Or after 360 days I can leave the country come back get 6 more months and extend inside the country for more 6 montha again an so on?

What are the rules on that?

Hello everyone ❤️

Last week I was refused entry to Thailand at DMK airport because I had stayed too long continuously in 2025 and exceeded the two visa-exempt entries allowed. Altogether in 2025 I spent 10 months in Thailand. I entered twice on a visa exemption, which I extended at immigration, and as the father of a Thai child I’m eligible for a 60-day extension instead of the usual 30 days. Adding January and February from my previous entry, it came to 10 months in total. Unfortunately, this time I arrived during a strict period and was treated quite harshly. I understand it, I don’t hold a grudge, even though in 2024 it wasn’t a problem to stay in Thailand the whole year on exemptions.

After I was refused entry, I flew back to Hanoi and applied for a tourist visa through the e-visa system. It seems to be the appropriate visa to visit my family in Thailand, which is also the reason you select in the second step of the application. Unfortunately, my application was rejected after one day. It looked like an automatic rejection and I’m not sure why. Is there any way to find out?

I would now like to apply for a Non-O visa, but I’m afraid of another rejection, even though I have all the required documents. Maybe someone could help me with this? Thank you all for the kind comments on my previous post 🙏❤️

What the best visa?

Did anyone enter Thailand recently for the third time in 2025 on a visa exemption ?

Thank you !

I have DTV Visa and soon my passport expires. What next? Do they somehow can change passport number on DTV? I heard that I should have 2 passports (old and new) but what if I will lost my passport?

Hi I usually come to Thailand mid February for 3 months on the 60 day entry I get another 30 day extension so i usually stay 87 days in the year I’ve got no over stays on this, will booking my flight on those dates give me a problem at immigration ?

How long of the waiting time in Vientiane now?
