Question please...

We want to do everything properly, so can someone holding Philippines passport come into Thailand for the purpose of 1-month massage class/training on Visa Exemption? Or do we need to apply for TR-60 (Recreation Learning)?

This is what Thai Consulate LA say about Visa Exemption.

"Nationals of the following 93 countries and territories are entitled to Visa Exemption for the purpose of tourism, business engagement, or urgent work or ad-hoc work, for up to 60 days period of stay and can be extended for another period not exceeding 30 days."

They didn't say anything about recreation learning. So we are not sure.

Thank you kindly,

I did my first 90-day report in person while on a one year extension of stay for retirement. Before my next 90-day reporting date will come due, I used a single-entry permit to leave and return after 7 days.

My understanding is that the re-entry resets the 90-day reporting period to "day 1", and the new report date is now due 90 days from the date that I re-entered Thailand.

I am asking to confirm because there is nothing indicating a new date in the stamp in my passport, etc. - I only have the now-outdated paper 90-day receipt and nothing except the re-entry stamp to go by. So is it just up to me to determine and submit the report by the self-calculated date? I don't want to run up any fines without knowing it. Thanks.

Can you complete a dtac in advance but not submit it until 3 days before departure?

My retirement visa is expiring on June 21st (Saturday).

I am flying back to Chiang Mai on June 18th. I will of course point at immigration first thing in the morning!

Is two days (Thursday 19th, and Friday 20th) long enough to renew the visa? I worry about hiccups/processing delays.

Is it ok if apply before visa expiration, and receive the visa extension after expiration?

Hi. I’ve just done my TDAC and it was easy and I got my confirmation and QR code straight away,

The only bit that gave me pause was the sub district ( in the address section) because that wasn’t on my accommodation address. So I looked it up on the map. Hope that helps.

Got my LTR visa today! Thanks Grace from Thai Visa Center and assistant June, you made it very smooth. I first sent documents March 1 and Grace vetted them before submitting them. I was told to expect 2-4 months and it was less than 3. Very happy 🙏

Currently under a Tourist visa that expires in one month:

I need to extend and find the best visa for 6 months until October (become 50 and can get RTM).

DTV prices seem very expensive for 6 months.

I have had ‘ challengers’ at airport from immigration due to previous stamps.

What’s the best advise for a 6 month visa ….

Thank you

Hello, I'm interested in obtaining a DTV visa through Muay Thai gym, with the intention of changing it at a later date. Could anyone here who has gone through this process please offer some general advice and/or tips on it, as well as recommend any good gyms to contact for this. Thanks!
