well alright guess Iโ€™ll go to Bali then the Philippines till at least April. Iโ€™d try a metv from Taiwan or somewhere not home so just get rejected a few hours but if I did metv stayed 6mo or longer Iโ€™d be in the same situation having to wait a year or longer guess Iโ€™ll wait longer n try to get dtv. Iโ€™m sorry to ask so many questions. I just donโ€™t understand Iโ€™m always hereing about so many folks living in Thailand essentially but maybe that was before the crackdown. Just young guys talk like they been living there for years so I donโ€™t understand how that possible. Maybe dtv n pay taxes for over 180.

Thanks for all the info mate. Donโ€™t mean to be a nuisance just want to go back sooner than later. Sucks when your not a trouble maker and your respectful and just wanna live abroad n so many jackasses ruin things. Thanks again

if you already stayed two exemption frees this year stated in April so like 150 days combined with a trip to Vietnam between them for 3 weeks then 3months basically back in America could a person get a metv starting in Nov or dec or have to wait till January. I hear

is the limit but does a metv over rule that ? And is it a calendar year and reset or a rolling year

months ? Iโ€™ve heard conflicting stories- thank you

there's no reset. It's a look back at your recent 12 months.

@Myer *****
there is no such thing as a year in this situation. Immigration tend to take a view of your history over the past 12 to 18 months. No annual reset, no rolling year reset

@John *********
in your opinion. If I did two visa exemptions w one extension with Vietnam in between for three week then back home if I started in April finished in September. Would a year be in April or September because if I started in April traveled for 5 months home for
***
months thatโ€™s a year with 150days in Thailand so 5months Thailand more than 180 days home. That should be 150days out of year so that would be a new year in April more or less. I know itโ€™s 1year - 1.5 potentially but that is a full year with half in country so not living there?then I could probably apply for metv or dtv n should work? Right? Up to iO I know. But mtv could work now or in January get visa from embassy but I/o could reject

@Myer *****
you can probably get an METV OK but your problem will be trying to enter Thailand on it. Having a visa is no guarantee of entry, it just determines how long you get stamped in for if you're allowed to enter

@James *******
so if I stated my trip last April n Finished like 150 days in September. Iโ€™m basically canโ€™t get a metv or dtv till April or September ๐Ÿฅฒ

ohhhh the humanity. Guess I screwed myself with the 60days plus one with a extension . Ugh such a bummer. Sucks there pushing away quality and non quality tourists alike. Say vietnams up 140% n Thailand is down 5%

Ik heb begrepen dat je 90 dagen kunt krijgen welke een jaar geldig is met bepaalde voorwaarden ??Als het mogelijk is gaarne in nederlandse taal reacties ik ben 75 jaar en mijn engels is niet zo goed

Jan Hulst als je Engels niet goed is en je hebt moeite met bv Google translated of vertalen met ChatGPT. Dan zou ik een bedrijf inschakelen zoals Traveldocs in Hoofddorp.

Op zich is het allemaal niet ingewikkeld. En valt het ook wel mee qua eisen. @Fortune Lucky Sun

Ik heb in september een NON O gekregen. Met 10 dagen geregeld en volgende week ga ik bij de Immigratie in Bangkok kijken of ik mijn 1 jaar verlenging krijg.

Wil je meer info stuur maar een pm en anders contact opnemen met

If you want to stay in Thailand for more than 3 months or 6 months

Apply for Non-O Visa from the Thai Embassy in your country - This visa is valid for 90 days , but it is the pathway to getting an extension for 12 months / stay in Thailand long term

( Attached is the starting point )

When you get to Thailand with the EVisa

You need to go to the nearest immigration and ask them the requirements to stay in Thailand .
