Hi there,

we have a daughter who is in overstay due to hospitalisation, she is less than 2 yrs old.

She has to do a non o visa linked to her mum visa (she has work permit).

I am wondering if my daughter could do a visa run, via tachilek or lao border, possibly in the same day.

I have been told that in Lao that wont be possible as we might need at least one or more days to stay.

I am not sure if they will allow us to do in one day just presenting her situation.

Anybody knows how to deal with it the quicker?

Hello! Thanks for having me.

Currently living in NY, doing an online bootcamp. Dreading another NY winter. I was thinking about spending the next six months in Thailand, while I finish up my schooling.I would love to leave in the next few weeks. Leaning towards Pattaya, to stay.

If possible, I could really use a lot of advice; what visa, how long can I stay, where should I stay, real estate agent, monthly rentals, vaccinations…and probably a dozen other things, I’m sure I missed.

If you have any advice, I would sincerely appreciate hearing it. Thanks in advance!

Well, now that I'm in Bangkok, I have an update regarding my 90 visa.

First of all, the many commentors pointing out that it was actually only a 60 visa, and I would find out once immigration stamped my passport, well they were correct.

Why did I think I had. 90 day visa? Well because I spoke with the Thai embasssy in Austrlia and was advised to apply for an e-visa and selcted 90 days as duration of stay and upload inbound and outbound flight details. Which I did.

Worst part is that it cost me AUD$300 to apply for a visa that I did not need because Australian citizens get 60 days visa exempt on arrival.

Thanks to all that commented.

Has anyone tried to open a bank account while on the DTV? I found a post about someone trying in Chiang Mai, back in august, with no luck. I live in Bangkok and wondering if anyone was able to open one? 🏦

Hi everyone! I submitted online application (Senegalese passport, French resident so Paris consulate comes into play) on 27th of October and still haven't heard back - neither rejection or approval. I'm starting to be getting worried and wonder what I can do as the trip is planned to start 2.12... Calling the consulate didn't help at all.

Hi! I'm looking to enter Thailand during next month. Would be taking a ferry and entering from Langkawi to Koh Lipe. After this I'm planning to go to Phuket, Chiang Mai and so on. Thinking of staying in Thailand for two months.

How many days I'm allowed to stay in Thailand as a tourist (Finnish passport)? I have never entered Thailand via sea. Last entry to Thailand was around February 2023.

Thanks in advance! 😄

Hi! I want to go to Thailand for 3 months to visit my girlfriend. I’ve visited the country 3 times in the last 2 years but not for that long. What recommendations do you have regarding visa and flights?

Hey all!

I promise I tried the search function 🤷but I can't find the name of the website that I can "book" a flight out of Thailand with, for purposes of the entrance requirements.

I already have my actual one-way in booked from the states. But I am not sure what my onward travel plans will be just yet.

So IIRC there is a company that helps with this requirement for entry?
