What alternatives do I have to the 60-day visa exemption for my travels in Thailand?

I don't understand why they don't do a proper visa for those (there are many) who just want to travel there for 6 months... no work, no lessons... or 3 months that can be extend another 3 months

The pain and heartache caused by my narcissistic partner's manipulation of my past traumas left me in a constant state of turmoil and frustration. Every argument became a minefield, with his threats of leaving triggering my deepest fears of abandonment. The fear of losing him consumed me, until it no longer held the same power over my emotions. Slowly, I discovered myself employing the "grey rock" method to shield myself from his toxicity. Despite pouring my heart out about my suspicions of infidelity, he callously dismissed them as figments of my imagination, personal problems, or simply unworthy of attention. But when undeniable proof of his deceit surfaced from his phone and laptop, I found the strength to face the truth and now stand ready to walk away with a broken heart.

Apply for a DTV visa?

I’m

A good start would be checking the official rules before coming..

@Jo *********

was much easier just after covid . They had too few tourists so they gave upto 6 months without leaving the country.

For everyone there are other options than visa exemption, when you are not working and describe yourself as travelers, why should a METV not be an option?

No problems up to 180 days.. But after that no border run possible, as Immigration want people on visa if extended..

They are referring to border bouncers who really aren't tourists

So long as you’re there for less than 6 months total in any one year it’s fine, you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s about how long over all you’re there for, not how many times.

What others are referring to is those just doing a border run and trying to live in Thailand full time on renewing 60-90 day visa exempt stays.

As long as you dont just turn around at the border every time and go back in again there should not be a problem. If you show that you are also traveling in other countries in the area you are OK because that is the way Visa Exemt is supposed to be used. Its when you start using in for a longer time to stay in Thailand you can get in trouble.

If you are ower 50year?

Get a 1year visa with multi entry.!

i know I agree I came in 8-12 times a year visa exempt even just after Covid. People just like to act like police

4x60 = 240 day 🤔🤔+1 month Extension each time🤔🤔🤔 Possibly 360 days a year 🤣🤣🤣 Immigration will love you

Sorry but get yourselves a dtv visa

Its DTV bro

Youd have thought going home for a month or 2 should be sufficient time out of thailand shame they didn't set the laws in stone as leaving it to an io is not good if they happen to be pissed off on that time that you pass through

Its people going straight out and straight back in who they are looking at. The ones trying to play the system mess it up for genuine tourists

How about this??

A Muay Thai visa, also known as a Thai Education Visa (Non-Immigrant ED Visa), allows foreign citizens to stay in Thailand for a longer period to train in Muay Thai, Thailand's traditional martial art.

They go through phases where you usually have to get a visa I've been coming in and out for the last 2 years no issues but I stay for a month then go back to Australia for a month lately they seen okay

It's not really about how many times you go to Thailand. It's about how much time you spend in Thailand and what your patterns are. If it looks like you're not a tourist or trying to live in Thailand without a proper visa, then it's only a matter of time until you run into issues. It's not a problem for the vast majority of people.

If you’re spending less than 6 months it should be less of an issue, and you can always apply for TR visa’s
