What are the current rules on getting extra time in Thailand by doing a Laos/Myanmar border bounce ie used to just walk out of Thailand and walk back only took about 30-45 min to get processed BUT when getting my family visa in Chiang Rai (prior to that had my tourist visa and its extension) the immigration officer told me now need to stay out of Thailand for 2 nights before I can return.

Appreciated if someone could let me know the current amount of time I need to stay out - I preferred the in/out but if needed will book a hotel. All the best.

I have a visa extension (spouse visa) coming up but will not have a valid rental contract as we'll be living in one of my relatives condo (who is a foreigner) for at least 6 months.

Is there anything that we can do to prove our residence without a rental contract?

Me and my girlfriend want to get a DTV visa. I meet the requirements (business owner in UK, 500k+) but she doesn’t.

It is possible for dependents to also get a DTV. How can she become a legal dependent without marriage?

Hey everyone,

After successfully obtaining my DTV visa, I’m flying back to Bangkok tomorrow from Bali airport with AirAsia. However, to my surprise, I was able to check in online and get my boarding pass.

Isn’t it normally required to present the DTV visa to the airline before boarding? Can I really just skip the check-in counter and go straight to security and immigration without the airline registering my DTV visa?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Hello Fellows!

Anyone know about as a Myanmar national residing in Thailand with a Digital Thailand Visa (DTV), be eligible to apply for a Japan or South Korea tourist visa?

So I just logged into the dashboard, and it now says "Pending Approval" 🥳

It said "Pending Document Check" previously, so this is a new update!

This is via the Los Angeles consulate. Any idea how long it will take until it is actually approved with DTV pdf in hand?

Update: Approved today! Took 34 days total.

Has anyone had luck opening a bank account on a DTV visa in Chiang Mai? If so, any chance you can share info? Thanks!

Also, any tips on documents to provide for freelancers (so no contract)?
