Goodafternoon.

I am in Thailand, visiting my girlfriend, on visa exempt (Oktober 1 - December 26). November 19 I did not receive a 30 day extention (due to my 3 entries in 2024 (1 tourist visa and 2 visa exempt). The IO said: "as far as I'm concerned you are not a tourist anymore). He suggested a border run.

I did a border run to Vietnam (November 21 - 24) and obtained a new visa exempt (until January 22). And got 60 days (amazing Thailand).

Do I understand well: the visa exempt history is cleared per January 1 2026? And does that mean I can get a new visa exempt? Or maybe better to get a payed visa?

I would like to stay until March 21.

I just got a new passport

Do I need to transfer my. E Thai visa to. New passport?

Hello, could you please confirm whether this is accurate? The rules appear to be changing frequently.

I'm a airline pilot for a US Company holding a US Passport and i get 10 days off a month which i want to spend in Thailand could this be possible on a tourist visa/visa exemption entry. It would be monthly entry but short stays.

For husband and wife ( both above 50 )applying for retirement visa. Do we have to deposit 800k each in the bank account or 800 k in total ?

Hi guys, I’ve bit of an ignorant question for you experts 😇

I’m here on a 60 day tourist evisa with multiple entry. It expires on 26.12.

I wish to fly to Laos this weekend, then fly back to Thailand a few days later.

I’ve a clean normal tourist passport not multiple stamped etc.

When I arrive back at BKK immigration to be stamped back in will they automatically extend my stay by 30 days ( the maximum) or do I need to negotiate this at that point?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

DTV oil rig work

I work 4 on 4 off ,

What is my best option to get a 5 year dtv visa,

I am about to go back to work in Denmark for 5 weeks then I'll get 3 weeks off this time.

Should I apply in Denmark whilst I do my 5 weeks or apply back when I'm in the UK for 3 weeks.

Is my best bet a mauy Thai visa ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hey everyone. I started saving toward the 500,000 THB requirement for the DTV visa last month, but I had to dip into it after my dog went missing for a few days. Thankfully, he was found safe, but I was abroad at the time, so the situation became unexpectedly expensive.

I am still relocating to Thailand with my remote work, but I will not have the full 500,000 THB until January, and from what I understand, the funds need to be maintained for 3 months+.

As a US citizen, my plan is to enter Bangkok on a tourist visa first. I originally planned to leave in February to apply for the DTV visa in Indonesia, but I am now considering extending my stay instead due to the timing of reaching the 500,000 THB. Based on my understanding, I can extend a 60 day tourist visa by 30 days, but would that reduce my chances of DTV approval later?

Would appreciate any suggestions. I know the process is becoming stricter, and I want to maximize my chances, especially since traveling means placing my dog in a hotel while I am abroad. Thank you!

Hey. I just got my DTV approved earlier in November. I left Thailand to go home to celebrate xmas and new years with the family before I plan my return early January. I noticed after I got back that I didn't get a "departed" stamp in my passport. Will this matter much when I re enter Thailand?

Thanks 🤗

Got my DTV approved & flew into BKK the next day, had a female IO stamp me in. She looked a bit moody but no questions asked even though she took her time to look at my docs

What date does my visa expiry date looks like to you ? 20th June or 20th Jan, 2026 ?

If it’s 20th of June then it’s over 180 days that I got stamped in (190 days ?)

Please advise, if this will become a problem for me & how should I rectify this. Thanks in advanced !
