Arrived in Thailand 28th Feb an got a 60 days visa at Bangkok airport.

This is my experience at the Thai, Laos Vientiane crossing these past few days on a visa bounce.

Left Thailand on 25th April. The Thai immigration officer said I could not return as they were clamping down on visa bounce however she did not red flag me in the system. She told me to take a chance and it was the returning visa officers decision whether I could enter or notm

On 29th I returned and once again the visa officer stated I could not enter. However my wife of 38yrs explained I had a return ticket to the USA and that next visit would be on a non O visa obtained in Washington. Phew! Luckily he accepted this and stamped me for a further 60 days we had our house blue book, marriage cert and my ticket. Preparation I believe helped.

Be careful they are getting much stricter.

Hope this helps.

Have I been done or is this procedure correct ? Am on Marriage Extension. I was due to do 90 day report on 15th April. I forgot and think Immigration (Nong Khai) was closed that day due to Songkran. Anyway went to Koh Pha Ngan that day and returned late Friday 25th. Realised my error and went to Immigration today and got 2000 Baht fine and was told I could have done 90 day report at Pha Ngan. TIA. I suppose just lesson learnt.

Hello, I received my dtv visa on my mail. I need to go to the embassy to get physical visa on my passport?

Maybe not the Beat place to ask that, but let’s try.

My passport will expire in a few months. I’m living here in Isaan.

When I go for the new passport from my embassy in Bangkok, what should I do in which order to keep my visa and extension alive?

Tried to do my TDAC for the May 18th,it will not allow me to enter the day of entry as May 18th,tried 2025/05/18 but the system invalid?

Anyone managed to do a tdac yet.

Greetings all.

I am in Hua Hin.

I need to do my retirement extension this Thursday/Friday (when Imm. reopens) due to a sudden bereavement in the family at home as need to go and may well not be back before expiry.

I meet all the 800k method requirements.

My bank is Kasikorn. I think they're open Wednesday

Can anyone current and local tell me if it's OK to get the bank paperwork Wednesday so I can go to Imm. early doors Thursday?

Also, do I still need to transact and update my passbook on Thursday before I go?

Can't ask Imm. as it's shut and on a time constraint.

Thankyou for any kind assistance.

I am trying to fill in my digital thai arrival card ( DTAC). My arrival date is 3rd May 2025, as I write the date today is 3rd April 2025. It says my arrival date is invalid. Do I have to wait until 1st May before I can apply (3 days). Is it not possible to apply before ?

Anyone done a passport change (expired/lost) on a DTV eVisa? Was it straight forward?

I need to go to immigration to get a 'Re-Entry Permit'. I've got an old blank TM8 form but I'm not sure if this is still the current form, attached. I've checked 'Forms', in this group and can't find a copy of a TM8 to check my copy against.

Can someone please comment if my TM8 form is still valid?

TIA
