Can 8 do a border run on January 1st

Another shocker! At Nong Khai on the Laos side they asked me to pay in USD for my VOA just now. $40 USD for Canadian. Ofc, I didn't have it because they always ask for THB and complain that USD is not in pristine condition when you mention USD.

So ofc I overpayed 1.7k baht because its their usual scammy rate. I could have saved 350THB. Well, now they don't care about THB, they ask for USD first.

I've been crossing that border for 12 years, and it's the first time they speficially ask for USD. They even have a new pink exchanger booth on the Thai side by the photocopy booth, which I should have deduced is there for a reason.

So if you need to bounce, come here with THB and exchange on Thai side and they will take your USD and I'll save 300-400THB in bogus conversion.

Help - DTV visa

It's been 11 days on 14 days and they request for the thrisd time my company registration (I have all the document and submit them every time). Anyone facing the same issue?

Do you know if it's denied if I lose my pavement?

Thank you

I'm super stressed don't understand why it's not working

Is there anyone who applied DTV on Monday in HCMC got approved in these days? I applied on 2nd December-Monday evening around 4:00 pm and still stuck in “Pending Approval” stage. I just want to make sure there may be any problem or not. Thank you all. 🙏

Hi guys

Just for share my experience :

✅I get DTV visa option soft power Muay Thai

📍Applying at Thai embassy in Vientiane Laos

✔️First want to notice the kindness of the staff at embassy

Appointment on Friday 06th December for give document and get back my passport on Wednesday 11th December

I did it by myself , no required agency . All was easy and fine .

I will train at Keh Muay Thai gym in Phuket Rawai. Anyone want to apply DTV with same option can go see them , this gym is approved for do DTV visa and ask fair price

I arrived in Bangkok with a Non OA based on retirement (US) with a visa issue date of March 20th 2024 and visa expiration date is March 19th 2025. I have a single re-entry permit with a valid date until March 14th 2025

If I leave Thailand on March 3rd and return on March 10th from Vietnam by air, what date would my new stamp be good for? I have read somewhere that if I have a health insurance plan good for another year I will receive another year of validity on the same Non OA visa in Thailand.

Furthermore I read that I would NOT need to have 800,000 Baht in my Thai bank account.

Could you please confirm my thoughts that I can leave, return and get another year stay as long as I have health insurance.

Many thanks.

Has anyone gotten their DTV from China?

I’ll be there for approximately one week and curious to know if that will be enough.

For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.

Where do you get an agent in phuket to fill your 90 day forms for immigration

Hi, I have a tm7 Form from January 2024, has it changed since then?
