What are the visa implications for re-entering Thailand after multiple short stays?

Are you a tourist

Lots off keyboard couch cowboy 🤠 advice on here 😜take a pick 😅😅

My guess if they warned you, the next time they will turn you around and possibly blackball you for a year or two

It's people like you that are abusing the visa system and ruining Thailand. Forcing the gov to make changes. Please go back to your home country and stay there until you grow up.

I think you mean DTV, not DVD? I’ll defer to others on how to apply for that. I think some people have been able to apply for that from other countries while they’ve been tourists. They just have to show flights, accommodations, etc, to show that they’re actually in the country where they’re trying to apply from. But I think that consulates in different countries might have different rules, so applying from Malaysia might be different from applying from, say, Saigon.

But it sounds like the immigration officer was telling you that you couldn’t just keep coming in without a visa. And, if you want to keep coming in, you need a tourist visa (which would give you 60 days) or some other visa like a DTV, retirement visa, etc. Check with the consulate in Malaysia to see if you’ll be able to apply from there when you arrive. If not, check with the consulate in your country of citizenship to see if you can still apply through them while you’re traveling — it’s the same online process either way, you just need to submit it to the right consulate.

I’ve never applied for a DTV myself, but if you’re not a professional digital whatnot with all sorts of documented income streams, I think there are some cooking schools in Bangkok that’ll be able to walk you through the process, and even tell you which consulates their students have successfully applied from. Maybe see if there are any cooking schools in Krabi who can give you the same kind of guidance.

Good luck!

My advice is to not take Visa advice from “experts” on Facebook.

Apply for a Tourist visa in Penang at the Thai consulate..60+30

They are cracking down on only 2 entries into Thailand or year without a visa and re entry stamp. Not a new law, just starting to uphold the laws

What's a DVD visa? FHD ?

DVD is a little outdated, that's why.

Consider Blu-ray, it's more likely.

Play your DVD 😵‍💫

Yes

DTV is to be applied for from home

Country now

You won't be paying for any visa before your 30 days runs out, you'll be paying for a 30 day extension of stay. Entering a 2nd time visa exempt (i.e not a visa same as you currently have) will be at the discretion of the immigration officer you will stand in front of. It would help if you told us the actual dates you were inside Thailand over the past 12 to 18 months
