I’m traveling to Thailand soon and will stay with my wife for about 7 months in Rayong. Looking for recommendations for travel insurance whilst in Thailand.
Hey, did anyone go through the facial recognition gates at Jakarta airport? What did you upload as proof of being in the country as I didnt get my passport stamped, I just walked through the gates
Good day!* We are planning to travel to Thailand for about 2months every year. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 toddlers) we are digital nomads and will be doing online teaching during our holiday. Will the DTV visa be best for us? Feels like a big hassle for 2 months😅 We are South Africans!*
hey guys! I'm 5 months into my DTV and staying in Hua Hin with my wife and 2 kids (also on DTV via me)
I need to do a border run in a month and right now we aren't feeling like taking a holiday in a nearby country like I originally planned. does anyone know the best / quickest way to just re-enter? I hear the renewal process is very tedious and not worth it?
I think the ranong crossing into Myanmar is the closest? also is there any kind of fee to pay to cross or come back? I know there is all these border run services that are asking for 5k+ per person, wondering if that's because they are doing something extra for the 30/60 day that we don't need? thank you, Thailand is amazing!!! love from an Aussie family in Thailand.
Do we have any recent estimations on how common it is to be questioned at CNX airport on first entry with DTV Soft Power Muay Thai? What kind of questions? Do we know of anyone with a clean visa history in Thailand who got denied entry purely because of how they answered the immigration questions on first entry?
Hello everyone, I understood that as a German I have 30 days no visa needed for Thailand, but today I received this stamp. I’m a bit confused, I thought I needed to apply ahead of time to get 60 days. Does this mean I’m good for 60 days?
I’m sharing my 90 day reporting experience in Bangkok so you don’t make the same mistakes I do.
1. For the DTV visa, do not go to OneBangkok. They only process business/work visa 90 day reporting. Not DTV. Instead, go to Immigration Division 1 Immigration Bureau (120 อาคาร รัฐประศาสนภักดี B, Chaeng Watthana Rd, Thung Song Hong, Lak Si, Bangkok 10210, Thailand)
2. Do not wear shorts that are above the knees (e.g exercise shorts). I was told that I dressed immodestly, and I had to go see a supervisor who told me again that what I was wearing was inappropriate. They did process my 90 day reporting, but the judgement was very uncomfortable. I do understand that it was my fault since it is a government building. So just a heads up.
3. I believe that as long as you arrive and get a queue number before 3:30pm, you’re good to go. I got there around 2:30pm and the ticket said that if I miss my number, I can get another one before 3:30pm.
Ive tried to search for this in the group but cant find the right answers. We'll be living in Samui but will need to do visa runs obviously, what is the cheapest way people are doing this? Needing money to stretch as on a soft power DTV so no money coming in.
