Hello, I have a visa question.

I am a US passport holder, currently on an ED Visa (learning thai language). It ends beginning of December. Am I allowed to leave the country for a few days and come back on a visa exempt or will I have issues at immigration since I have just been in the country for 12 months on an ED Visa?

How long does visa exempt last for these days? Still 60 days or have they changed it back to 30 days?

Does anyone have experience on this matter?

Looking to do my first 180 days on my DTV visa soon. Planning to cross the border at Nong Khai → Vientiane to activate it.

Has anyone crossed that border recently with a DTV? Were there any issues with immigration officers (either leaving Thailand or re-entering)?

Hi. Doing the money in the bank for a non O retirement Im told to put 100 in the bank and get the letter of confirmation of funds.

Do I put the 100 in before or after the letter ?

Thanks.

I am, currently immobile. My 90 day report was due (My 1st since returning from Vietnam in July) I did try on line, but it was refused of course. I had an agent do it for me and all is well. One thing bothers me though, Imm Officer at CW KEPT MY TM30. Now I have done 90 day reports at CW and have never been asked for, or even to produce my TM30. Is this now a requirement at CW?

(I still have my original TM30 which was done when I first arrived 6 years ago)

TIA

Does anyone know why the visa fee is 12,500 baht (600aud) and not 10,000 as advised?

Dear DTV experts - I entered Thailand in August on three months Ed visa which is valid till end of November. I am not intending to extend it but rather apply for a DTV.

So, do I need to wait until my current Ed visa’s validity or I can exit anytime now and apply for DTV. Your help is much appreciated 🙏

Hi i plan to apply and have 3 questions:

1. I am Israeli and currently residing in Tbilisi, i read that the responsible thai embassy is the one in Ankara. Considering the political climate it will not be safe to travel there if they request an in person meeting, what should i do in that case?

2. I plan to get the visa together with my family for both my spouse and baby, but we aren't married. What document should we provide to prove our relationship? Will a birth certificate be sufficient to also show my relationship with my spouse?

3. When they ask for a bank statement, are they expecting the balance to be over 500k for the entire duration of the statement or just the balance at the time of issuing the statement?

Thank you!

Applying from Vietnam on 26 October. Muay thai. Just revieved all the documents from muay thai gym and they are wrong. My name has been misspelled. Obviously muay thai gym will need to redo it. While that is happening

I also noticed I paid for 12 months training but the muay thai gym letter says training from nov 2025 to august 2026. Is this an error? And there is a section that says visa will allow the individual to stay in Thailand a minimum of 90 days again is this an error or is this related to the 90 day check in?

Should I be asking the Gym to change that information as well

Who has had experience with the DTV Soft Power Visa attending cooking or Muy Thai courses in Chiang Mai, and then moved to another city (Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket) and continued courses with a different school in a different city?

Looking forward to hearing your experience. Feel free to reach out!

My friend got in a wreck a few months ago and was in the hospital he's close to 90 days overstay and is able to leave now but curious as to if the 1 year ban kicks in at day 89, day 90 or day 91 counting last day of visa and the last day in the country.
