Good morning everyone,

I have a question since it would be my first time trying this: without a visa, would it be possible to stay in Thailand for around 6 months by applying for extensions and doing one exit?

In the past, I always used a multiple-entry visa to be on the safe side, but in the end the longest I actually managed to stay was just under 7 months.

Has anyone here already tried this?

And one more thing: is it possible to apply for 2 extensions, or only one per calendar year?

Thanks a lot for any advice!

Regarding the wise transfers to bkk bank now coded as something other than the previous FTT code. I downloaded the wise invoice pdf which clearly shows it was as n international transfer. However i think is best to start doing wise as a swift transfer to avoid any confusion. Comments?

Hello Everyone, currently i am in thailand as a tourist. And since applying for DTV visa from inside thailand is not allowed.

Hi everyone,

I couldn't find this information neither on the Hanoi embassy's website nor by searching in the group.

How recent should the bank statements be at time of appplication? I.e. 3 days, 5 days, or 2 weeks?

Thanks!

Hi, has anyone here applied for the DTV visa in Vientiane?​

The rule says you need 500,000 THB in your bank account, but do they check if it’s there for 3–6 months, or is it OK if the money was deposited recently?​

Would love to hear any recent experiences. Thanks! 🙏

Hi all, I am looking at staying in Thailand long term. Is the DTV worth it? Can you reapply for it once the 6 months expires?

I had planned on border hopping for a bit while i find a place to settle but I would be staying 30 days or so out of the country in Vietnam or Phillipines rather than day flights in and out.
