Can I go to Thailand on a tourist ex visa then turn it into extended yearly visa

Good afternoon. I'm arriving into BKK next week. 2 months VISA exempt. Last time I flew from Paris, they wanted proof of return ticket. I haven't got one as I intend to visit Laos, Vietnam as well and then return to Thailand. I've already booked accommodation in laos before my 60 days is up. Foes anyone know if I show proof of this whether airlines accept it. Air india this time

Hi Folks and Thailand fans. I have a German passport, working as a freelancer. What Visa do i need when working for my german clients online while my stay in Thailand? I want to stay less than 60 days. Thank you for your help 👍🏻

Hi i am from the uk if i enter on a 60 day exempt can i go to the phillopines after 60 days for 2 weeks then return for another 60 days and get am extention for 40 days after that

Will be retiring soon and thinking about spending just under 6 months a year in Thailand. Wondering what the best options are in regards to the best visa for 6 months each year. Many thanks in advance for your advice.

My partner and I are thinking of thailand in April, we're from NZ so we get visa exemption. For proof of funds it say cash 20k baht or equivalent, who even carries that much cash. Do they normally check this? If they do would i be able to show my bank statements or something

[ANSWERED (Thanks, all!)]

Hi, I am confused here. I have a flight to Bangkok tomorrow, and I am from Indonesia, which usually means I can go to Thailand for tourism as long as it is < 30 or 60 days. But suddenly there are these new ETA or Travel Authorization thing and I cannot find any clear news on whether I should apply for it or not.

All sources of information told me to check thaievisa.go.th and apply there, however there is only a visa application.

Thanks for helping, guys! I am panicking right now

Apologies for another 90 days reporting question. I entered the kingdom on 06/dec/2024. My under consideration and thus visa renewal was approved on January 6 2025, valid till 12/dec 2025 at cheangwatana. Next month I move to chonburi. What is the start date for 90 days, and where to file my report? They didn’t put a paper in my passport…. Thank you 🙏

Hello everyone,

I applied for DTV in Hanoi on Sunday night (19th) and have already attached my employment contract and related documents. I am currently working remotely for a company based in Singapore.

Today, I received a request for additional documents, but I am not entirely sure what they are asking for. Has anyone experienced a similar situation before? If so, could you please share what additional documents were required?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice. Thank you in advance!

P.S : I am Myanmar Passport holder

DTV APPROVED FROM CHINA . 21st January 2025
