Just an FYI for anyone applying for the DTV visa through the soft power track. It's been a nightmare. My embassy is NYC and the requirements change frequently. The cooking course I scheduled states that their 2 week intensive course is eligible but the embassy now requires a course duration of at least 6 month.

Hi guys Anyone have done visa exempt entry via land in Thailand on US Passport? 60 days or 7 days

Per Thai immigration I live in a unique timeline (yes I know what the Thai says but still, I may have a case for an eternal multi entry)

Thanks in advance for your advice everyone!

So I’m not looking to stay in Thailand long term, at least not yet - I’m just figuring out my extension option so I can stay until my lease ends Jan 14 and complete 3 months here.

My current 60 day visa on arrival ends Dec 6. I could do the 30 day extension for 1,900 baht until Jan 6 but that leaves me with 8 days and I’d like to have a bit more flexibility to stay until the end of my lease.

So it seems I’m left with either the border run to Laos option which appears to cost roughly 6,300 - OR I could also fly roundtrip to visit friends in Malaysia for 5,500. But that also assumes that doing the border run or flight to Malaysia would actually give me a new 60 days and not just 30 which isn’t enough.

Is there another simple option here?

Will I definitely 100% get another 60 days and not 30 days by going to Malaysia or Laos?

Throughout Laos at both the Thai Embassy in Vientiane + Thai Consulate in Savannakhet will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 01 January 2025 with 10-15 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa. The last day for accepting in-person applications at Vientiane + Savannakhet is 20 December 2024.

Again, the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 26 November 2024 with 10 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa.

Hi, I have a Multi Entry Non Immigrant O/A Visa, based on retirement purposes.

I went to my local immigration office today to find out what are the requirements to extend my visa for 1 more year prior to lodging my visa extension.

I was told that, "because I have a Multi Entry visa" If I left the country and returned again before my visa expires that I would be stamped in for 1 more year. (I also showed them my health insurance is paid for another year)Then I was told to return to them to let them know my current address, and then I would have to visit then in November next year for another 1 year extension.

Can anyone confirm that is true and correct?

Thanks in advance.

I've already submitted the course enrollment(pic 1) for the application of DTV.

They're still requesting me to provide the cover letter from the university address.

Does anyone know what cover letter they're referring to?

Should I submit the same enrollment letter again?

Can you guys confirm I can get the DTV in Phnom Penh even if the 500k were put on my bank account just a few days before?

Also, can I just go there in person or do I need to apply online?

Thx
