Someone please refresh my memory. If I go to Thailand on a tourist visa and after 90 days I fly out, when I come back does my tourist visa renew or do I need to go somewhere to apply again?
Subject: Request to Reschedule DTV Interview Appointment
Hello,
I am currently in Vientiane and recently received a visa appointment scheduled for next week. However, an urgent business meeting has come up, and I cannot wait until then.
Is it possible to reschedule my interview appointment? I have tried emailing and calling all the contacts listed on the embassy website, but I have not received any replies.
Thank you for accepting me to the group. I do have a question and couldn’t find the answer. For the retirement visa, will one of us have to have $24k or will each of have to have $24k in the bank? Thank you.
NEW REQUIREMENT TO BUY A TOURIST VISA FROM EMBASSIES
There is a LOT of misinformation about this topic going around out on the inter-web right now (not surprising :O )
Sadly, it's 100% due to people using bad terminology when they talk about entering thailand :O
SO
Let's sort out two completely different things FIRST
60 day visa exempt entry <- you show up here without having bought ANY visa from a thai consulate and you get stamped in FREE for 60 days on the visa exempt entry program (on July 15th 2024 it went from 30 day visa exempt entry to 60 days)
Currently, people from 90+ countries get that if they show up without having a visa in their passport to thailand. Visa Exempt entry stamps usually have the code ผ.60-ม.17.
A Visa Exempt entry is not a tourist visa, it's not a visa at all, it's nothing but a free 60 day entry stamp. This is not affected by the proof of funds rule change.
Tourist Visa entry <- this is where you BUY a tourist visa from a thai consulate using the online eVisa website before you come to thailand.
When you arrive you are stamped in for 60 days under the TR60 entry stamp.
This IS affected by the proof of funds rule change and now to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here you must show proof of funds (20k baht or the equivalent) as a requirement
One last time FREE 60 day entry stamps are NOT affected by this rule change, you ONLY show proof of funds if you decide to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here...
AND (just so everyone knows)
There is no update on when/if the current 60 day free entry might change back to 30 days. The government talked about it, had press releases about it but at this time nothing has been decided at all
Hello everyone, I am looking to apply for the DTV visa through taking cooking class route. I am a trader so I do not have any payslip for the past couple years. All my income is passive. I do have the 500K in the bank. Would they still require the me to show the payslips history even tho I go with the taking classes route. I have the options to either apply in Viet Nam or US. What are the chances I will get approved with this route and not being able to show payslips? Thank you all in advance
