Just done a Myanmar border run (6 month) do I still have to do 90 day report in the next few days, noticed I have a slip of paper saying need to report again in 90 days from previous reporting?

Hi, anyone know what format is preferred for the family photos, when applying for the marriage visa extension. I read someone needed to print them on photo paper then attach them to a4 sheetw.

Also any details for the pics I need to know, dress, style etc. I know the rooms and places we need.

I'm doing it at Jomtien immigration, and have their info sheet but the office information doesn't give details on these specifics.

I'm trying to avoid getting sent away when we apply because the bank letters have to be from the day and it's all super time consuming. Thanks

Hi Guys. Sharing updates about the rules for DTV extension for your info with some questions to consider together.

Context: I got my DTV – Digital Nomad in Oct 2024, live in Bkk and am in the processing of extending it for the first time. I meet all requirements for the extension – $ in bank, work, everything.

The agent in Cheangwattana didn’t accept my application for extension because my bank statements don’t cover the current month. In case you don’t know, most banks around the world don’t provide bank statements for the current month. Statements are automated and are provided only for previous months.

I showed the officer my banking app, where they saw that I have the required funds. They confirmed that they understand that I have the funds and that the rest of my paperwork is fine too. However, they said that they can’t process the application because of this requirement.

Instead, they gave me the below options, which I’m sharing with the group, as I’m sure that others will be in the same position:

1/ Wait for 1st April, get the statement for March, and apply again. They said that if 1 day is missing from the statement, it wouldn’t be an issue. My current visa expires on 10th April but they said there would be enough time to process this.

2/ Leave Thailand anytime before 10th April, stay out of the country for a day, and come back. They said that if I do this, the immigration officer at the boarders will extend my visa for another 180 days without requiring any documentation and without any processing fees.

3/ I have an acquaintance at the Bkk immigration who said that I can pay 10k THB and get the extension without any paperwork but I don’t want to do this, especially since I meet all requirements.

Based on these options, I have some questions and would appreciate your advice:

-Timelines for extension at the immigration: The officer said that 10 days are more than enough but I see online that they advise to start the extension process several weeks before the current visa expires. What’s your personal experience?

-Extension via boarder run: The agent told me that this is the easiest way to extend – no questions asked by officials. When I asked about the success rate, they said it’ll work 100%. Can anyone who did this from the group confirm their experience and if they have any issues?

-Future extensions: My understanding is that DTV is a multiple entry Visa, however, we can only have 1 extension every 365 days. If I leave the country, come back, and extend for another 180 days, can I leave the country again within the same rolling year and come back? If I do so, will the visa be extended further or not?

-90-day reporting scenarios: Normally, we have to report twice every 6 months, so my reporting is due till 10th April. If I stay and extend at the Bkk immigration, I also have to do the 90-day reporting process. If I leave the country for a day for the visa extension, do I still have to do the 90-day reporting or not?

What time does the immigration people the airport at late evening time I will need to get a return stamp. Thank you

My wife has a thai Passport and I have a US passport we would like to visit Europe. Is it possible to get a single visa for the entire EU?

FYI...

Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still deliberating the possibility of reducing the visa-free period for foreign tourists from 60 days to 30 days, with no decision made thus far.

Ministry spokesman Nikorndej Balankura reassured that no new visa regulations are currently in place, so tourists visiting Thailand remain unaffected for now.

Since a policy change in July 2024, passport holders from 93 countries have enjoyed entry into Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa, with the potential to extend their stay to 90 days.

Full story:

Those who left and came back:

Did they ask you again for proof of money in the bank?

When I did my visa i read on many places that if you leave from the country they might ask you to show again that you have money in the bank.

I don’t remember how much was it but I believe it was around $15k

Do they actually do this? Or they just let you in?

Thank you for your responses!
