So with the new thailand visa rules if you don't care about getting extensions you can still enter a few times a year with your usual 60 days visa-free? or just twice? What about people who frequently visit the country for just some long weekends?

(I would assume it shouldn’t affect them whatsoever but just to be sure)

I am a little bit confused with these new visa exemption entry rules and hope someone can help. My sister has visited me on a visa exemption twice this year already, but she never stayed for more than 2 weeks at a time.

She was planning on visiting me again for Christmas and new year, but now we hear people say that with new regulations people are only allowed two visa exemptions per year.

Does anybody know if this is true? We are now afraid to book her flight tickets in case they deny her entry.

Question about METV

Required proof of residency by utility bill or rental agreement. Will a bank statement do as I have none of these. HMRC tax residency letter maybe.

You get a 60 day stay and 30 day extention then have to leave. Can I then return maybe within one day with no issuses. Sounds to me like a border bounce but "legal"

Will it be an issue to do the 90 day reporting with a temporary hotel address in another province than I normally stay? I’ve been traveling around and cannot return ‘home’ until the day I’ve been here 90 days. (Otherwise, does anyone know if it is it still ok to file it up to 7 days ‘late’)?

Hey DTV crazies, went through bangkok international today. DTV visa activated no questions no asks. 180 day approved.

I must say I took the advice of a member whereby laminated the DTV visa, had a print out od the Tdac done, i even went as far as to use a wet wipe to clean the finger print machine so that it read my very bad fingers properly.

Dont be nervous peeps, the Thai people are just wanting what is right for them. If it is cutting back in visa jumpers then so be it.

Does anyone know if you can get an Australian working holiday Visa at the same time as the DTV? I have the DTV already!

If so, I am hoping to do some work in Australia for a few months and then return

Sorry if this question is already been asked this just so many posts to go through

Anyone have experience staying 180 days with DTV visa & then going out & coming back in within the same year or basically just a week later? After you leave. Is this possible and if yes, what are the tax consequences? Any information greatly appreciated…

Hey Guys

Came last year on 4th December with partner and child on the 60 day on arrival visa and ended up extending for the 30 days.

We are arriving back on the 28th November and are planning 60 days again, will I need a tourist visa or will the visa on arrival be ok? We may decide to extend again, will the new rules prevent this and should I apply for a different visa for the 3 of us or as it’s been a year would that be allowed?

Thanks in advance
