Seeing Tons of FUD on FB is it true people with DTV are being rejected and turned around at certain ports of entry or even given just 60 days instead of 180???

Ok sorry to ask but I’m someone who lives in phillippines that comes to Thailand for a week every couple of months (Canada passport). I saw now it’s only 2 visa exempt entries a year? How does this apply to me does it mean these week trips to Thailand are over or I need a visa?

Following on from yesterday’s post I’ve found the actual Law for entering into Thailand..

Don’t know if anyone can help but if you can thank you. Is there a way you can come to Thailand for 6 months a year. My wife and I would like to do this from the UK.

We are both retired 😊👍

I know there is now a new requirement to enter Thailand. I have a passport and plan to stay 90 days. What new paperwork do I need to enter the country?

Is there any cases of ED visa rejected by the embassy?

I'm a little confused about the Bank requirement for the marriage visa. I have had a thai bank account for 3 years and have maintained 400,000 thb in the account. Can I just show immigration that I have maintained 400,000 thb in the account with an updated bank statement or do I need a letter from the the bank?

Hello

I know immigration may ask the 3 prof, 20k cash return fly and hotel booking

My question is

How many day need to book the hotel?

Return fly after 45 days, im Swiss

I have a hotel booking in pattaya for 30 days already but is just booked via a simple email with answers from hotel because they are not in any booking Plattform and i worry little bit because i coming every year for 45-60 days, last time fly home 31 December 2024

Looking for advise

Hopefully moving permanently to Thailand asap, I have no Thai address, no Thai bank account, I qualify for retirement visa and the funds are no problem. Which is the best way to achieve this.

This is genuine cry for help so please genuine replies.

Thanks in advance
