After asking some questions during the past months, I think it's fair I share my experience this year. With a EU passport I arrived Thailand in May and left after 58 days for 3 weeks. In my August re entry, I received 2 more months. On October I went to the IT square immigration office and received a 1 month extension. Overall i managed to stay in Thailand for around 5 months with the visa exemption scheme. I just have good things to say about the overall process, my second entry in August ( where I feared some problems), was the smoothest possible, less than 1 minute taking a picture and figure prints, no questions asked ( a female IO). In IT square, arrived around 12.30, services were stopped for lunch but at 3.15 pm I was out with my extension, once more, no questions asked. I didn't had a past of long stays ( usually 2 months a year 1 plus 1 extension prior to 2024). But I have decided if next year I will stay as many months I will get a proper long time Visa.

Hey all

Has anyone had experience with the Sydney embassy, and whether they want to see the 500.000 baht in your account for three months, or if just having it in there for a undisclosed amount of time is ok?

Because apparently different embassies have different requirements.

Thanks.

I have question if anyone would know the answer I would be grateful. I have DTV and my passport is getting full, and I want to know if I need to get new passport do I need to apply for DTV again ? Or it could be linked with my new passport. Thanks

What is visanr

Hi . Travelling to Bangkok on a non immigrant o spouse visa ( 90 days ) issued by thai embassy in Uk . What purpose of travel should I put and do I need to put a return flight date ? Tanks

Hi, I just got my DTV approved, somehow was quite stressed because I had no idea that I was required to cancel my current business visa and work permit, since I had a friend who did it that way when DTV was launched, did not think about that at all (things were probably more relaxed at the start)

I guess I was lucky they did not ask for full passport pages copies ..

Now my question is : what should I do at immigration when arriving to Thailand ? My initial plan was that I could simply stamp in with the new DTV, and then immediately proceed to cancel my work permit at my local immigration ..

Does that sound like the right thing to do ? Do I risk to get into trouble at immigration check for not canceling my business visa and work permit prior to applying for DTV ?

Thanks for any informations :)

Applying for DTV. I have enough money in my bank account but it’s currently in a fixed term savings account. Is this ok or does it strictly need to be in an account I can access whenever? Thanks

Can someone who arrives on a visa waiver, apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa without a Thai bank account l, and then once received, open an account and season the 800,000 bht during the 90 days before applying for one year extension?

Applied for a soft power DTV in Jakarta 07/10 and waited until 21/10 for the answer that the Visa was rejected, since I don’t know the reason why, I will apply again in Laos, has anyone applied recently and got approved there?

Thanks

I got few questions. So today my dtv got approved in Hanoi. And I already had return ticket on 30th October .

1. can I reschedule and change return ticket to earlier date? It says my visa valid from 24 October but I did tell them that my flight return ticket is on 30th October

2. what is the process for dtv holder when I enter immigration ? What do I need to do or bring

3. what is the rules once I am in the country as dtv holder? Can someone explain the 90 days report and 180 days . Like what would you recommend me to do
