Two questions

1) does anyone know how long they are going to keep this visa or is there risk of them abruptly removing it down the road ? I was going to apply next year.

2) i heard that you only get one 180 day extension in the 5 year period. Does that sound right ?

Hi do Australians coming for tourism purposes in December require the e-visa? or is the 30 day exemption still in place?

Hello guys, have a question regarding the border run. I was told that it is impossible to do a border run if the 60-day visa exemption is extended for 30 days, so if someone wants to do a border run and get another 60 days, they must not extend their 60-day visa exemption. Is this true??

Hi, hope you’re all well 🤍 I’m Australian and currently in Chiang Mai on the Tourist Visa (60 days). I would like to apply for a 30 day extension. I was hoping someone could assist me please 🙏

Is it possible to do this all online or do I need to visit an Immigration Office? If I need to do in person:

- which Immigration Office would you recommend?

- can I apply 2 weeks in advance?

- can I make photocopies of passport and take passport photos at the Inmigration Offices?

Thank you so much!

Hello guys,

In 2026 I will surely apply for the DTV VISA but for the year 2025 I only plan to stay 6 months in Thailand.

How do you manage to rent for 6 months?

I have the impression that it's an obstacle course. 99% of landlords only want a minimum one-year contract.

For those of you who have been able to rent for 6 months, how did you manage?

My agent have recommended that I rent for 1 year, but he'd find me a renter at the end of the 6 months.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks in advance
