Hello, I have a doubt regarding the visa exemption.I was in Thailand from August 2nd and i left the country after 2 weeks. On my passport the visa validity is until September 29. (60 days visa exemption entry). Now i am planning to come back to thailand on the 28th of September, so will i get a new visa exemption for another 60 days or will I have to exit the country on the 29th of September? someone please help.

Approved in JAKARTA

Processing time: +3 working days. Walk in Mon-Thu till 11:30AM. CASH ONLY.

Provided:

* last 3 bank statements (monthly) which only the last one had over 500k THB (highlighted balances each month)

* screenshot of current balance which got rejected on spot

* single medical appointment at orthopedic clinic (hospital) in Bangkok (printed gmail with hospital images)

On Monday there were ~45 queuing tickets issued. At 11:30 the calling number was 35. Tried to collect on Wednesday - rejected and told must come Thursday afternoon (despite the visa date says it was issued on Monday). Collection day had queue around 15 people at 13:20. But moved fast, within 20 minutes. On Monday there was a German guy who got turned on spot as he didn't bring some translated documents (asked to come again). I think this embassy is getting busier as it's popularity is spreading fast.

Upon entry at immi do we need to present any other documents (other than the visa sheet) or proof of onward travel with DTV?

I thought I had read previously that students, including those taking online college courses were applicable for the digital nomad portion of the DTV. Has anyone had success applying as an online college student?

Is it possible to do the marriage visa extension/renewal without my wife, if I have a letter from her hospital?

My marriage visa extension expires on the 27th November, I put the 400,000 into my bank on the 18th as I got the date wrong, I believe I can still do the extension on the 19th November as that will be two months and I'll just get a stamp staying I return on the 20th December. The issue is that my wife is due to give birth on 21st November, if I am "lucky" I'll have to go to immigration with a 9 month pregnant wife, however I can see a scenario where my wife gives birth early and can't go to immigration, do people think I can go in with a letter from the hospital explaining why she can't come in?

The embassy I'm applying through (Yangon) doesn't mention a housing contract as part of the required documentation on their site. But just to be safe I'm thinking about booking a 90 day apartment stay through booking.com or similar. Has anyone had that rejected as evidence of housing contract? Plus if living outside of Thailand how to get a proper housing contract anyhow?

Hello! Is it possible to pay the fine for a missed 90-day report in Bangkok somewhere other than Chaeng Watthana?

(Reason: considering going for DTV but I think I owe for a 90-day and would want that taken care of first; and CW is a pain to go out to.)

Thanks!

# Update in 2024 on Education Visa and Traveling abroad: Has anyone with the ED visa while living in Thailand travelled abroad recently? Any problems when coming back into Thailand? If so, how do I ensure it is smooth when I come back?

Background

1. I might have to travel abroad to USA for a Funeral of my Uncle - maybe 1 week. Then maybe to China as we have family there too, 1 week. So perhaps 2-3 weeks away before returning back. I am about 3 months out of 1 year into my ED Thai Language Study Visa.

2. My University delivers its coursework online. My agent and the school assured me that this is fine and stated that I could travel abroad if I decide to do so - I confirmed this prior to applying for the ED Visa. They can write me a letter stating I'm a current student. I have my student ID and coursework on my phone in PDF format as well

3. I believe that my Thai is better than 90% of students who have studied the same time I have (3 months). This is because I do daily immersion lessons on my own (outside of class). I can explain exactly why I had to leave the country in Thai. I need to learn a few vocabulary words though.

4. I'm aware I need a Re Entry Permit prior to travel

Whats your opinion about the strong Baht?

Couple of months ago it was almost 39 B/ Euro. Now on the way to 36 B/ Euro.

I know it is all speculations, but where will it end? Got the feeling it will go down even more to 34-35.
