This year, after my education visa expired, I applied for the DTV twice.

The first time was through an agency under the “sports” category (in Malaysia) , and the second time was also through an agency, using proof of funds in my bank account (in vietnam). Both applications were rejected.

Why do you think this could have happened?

Hi we are thinking about staying in Thailand for a year, both retired. We would leave Thailand every 5 months then come back. With all the drama over the crackdown on border runs etc, what is the best way forward? Which visa?

Edit Australian both over 60yrs.

Hello everyone, We were unaware that today was a holiday, so we did not extend our 60-day visa which runs out this Sunday. Aside from leaving Thailand for a few days, is it possible to address this on Monday, a day after our visa expires? Thank you,

I currently am on a DTV visa and have not left the country and re-entered on it since receiving it 3 months ago. 

Do I need to have a round trip/onward travel when re-entering on my DTV? 

Or is a one way into Thailand okay in this instance?

Thanks in advance!

I’m just reading on the website of the Thai embassy in Vientiane that it’s not possible to apply for any type of visa in person. Is that true? Does everything have to be done online?
