Border run #2 22.8.25

Drove to vientiane border from pattaya, drank 1 drink and came back to Thailand. When I left Thailand the IO lady was looking at the computer quite a few moments, I didnt ask why but I was thinking because I did my TDAC 5minutes before going to her 🤔

When I got back, the IO wanted to tell me that my visa is DTV and I will get 180days, that was quite funny, that was all the conversation we had 😆 never experienced explaining before, for 4years

Why I post is the budget;

Car 700thb

Gas 2500thb (honda city)

Laos visa 1700thb(+100thb because i forgot to take passport picture) thats $52 if you pay with dollars its $40

Leave your car next the 711 parking lot, 50thb. Tuktuk to bus station 50thb (i offered he accepted), bus 30thb each way

Thats a total of 5160thb for another 180days. And about 24h of time (had 2 of us, each driving one way)

I also got a speeding ticket of 1000thb, they set a trap at the mountain speedlimit lowered to 40 (altho same time says cars 60, who knows) when we were rolling down only using break 😅, a lot of fog so cant see much, i was following car ahead of me because i could see the lights, for "some reason" they looked at him and let him go and picked me 🤣

Also got picket at 1 of the 6 big stops we encountered...

"ooh.... silence.... you speak thai? -mai"

"what you name? -Toni"

"where you go? -pai Chon Buri"

"Ok pa"

Hi All,

I applied for the DTV visa on Tuesday the 19th and received approval today (Friday the 22nd).(The Hague Dutch Embassy)

I submitted all the required documents, but they emailed me twice asking for additional info. In response, I added the KvK registration to the signed remote work letter from my employer. I also provided 6 months of salary statements.

Regarding the 500k THB requirement, I only had that amount in my account since last month, and it was accepted.

For any questions, feel free to DM me or ask here.

Good luck to everyone applying! 🙏

Problems recognizing the passport with VISA

I have problems with the passport photo, it is always rejected. Does anyone have any tips on what I need to look out for?

I was in Thailand March 2025 for 10 days, then again May 2025 for 90 days, I had extension on Tourist visa. I am going back in September, flights booked for 55days

Will I have problems with immigration?

Hello everyone, I applied for a Thailand tourist visa from Bangladesh on 29th July through the official Thailand visa website, but my application status still shows ‘Processing’. Has anyone faced a similar delay or knows the usual processing time? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Does it make it easier to get a retirement visa if you own a condo,

TIA

I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?

If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?

Do we get a reset every January?

I have just recently renewed my retirement Visa based on the 800,000 how long is it before I can touch that money i have not been asked to show my bank account again

What is the process for a 90-day report if I live with my Thai wife on property she owns?

Hey guys! applied for DTV visa, submitted all documents,

Then submitted another 7 documents they further requested,

Then i received the below request

I flew into Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for approval

And now they are saying this.

I’ve not heard of this before,

I was under the impression you are allowed to enter Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for approval!

Can anyone give me advice?

I’m in Thailand already!

Is this request from them incorrect?

Or any method around it that doesn’t require me to fly back home?

I’ve not heard of this being a problem, can it be questioned?
