Looking at getting a DTV and returning to Thailand, but I keep hearing immigration is getting stricter.
Currently in Vietnam, Swedish citizen, programmer, have the required finances.
Just left a startup, now between jobs (own a consultancy company, but no invoices for the past year). Multiple visa runs, tourist extensions, one-day overstay. Last entry immigration told me I won’t get in again without a DTV.
Should I expect issues with my background? Anything I should prep for?
Hello everyone. I am German and would like to be in Thailand from December 25 to the end of March 26. For the DTV only Softskill is an option. Are there offers for only 4 months? What if I want to change my location after 2 months? What if I pay for the course but don't go at all? I would also only take care of accommodation and flights once I have the DTV, because otherwise I can't plan it. So the course should also offer a full refund if I don't get the DTV. I would be very grateful for any advice. Are there people here who have received the DTV in Germany (via Berlin) and would share their experiences with me?
hi my wife and I been coming for 4mths Nov to March do 30days go to immigration get another 30days, leave Thailand for a week then come back for 30days go to immigration again extension for 30days. Just been told by friend their stopping people doing this,is this correct thanks for any help
I am currently in Thailand on a visa exemption and planning to apply for the DTV. I'm wondering how urgent it is to apply.
So far this year, I’ve already used a visa exemption and extended it to 90 days. I left the country to the US and came back again on a new visa exemption, and I’ve now been here about 30 days. I'm going to Korea next week. Before all this, I also spent about 1.5 months in Thailand at the end of last year.
Can I return to Thailand one more time on a visa exemption, or is there a high risk that I’ll be denied entry at the border?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for Everyone Planning a Visa or Border Run to Cambodia:
Due to ongoing political border disputes between Cambodia and Thailand, the borders between the two countries have been closed to tourists since yesterday (see attached document).
However, border and visa runs to other neighboring countries such as Laos, Malaysia, etc., are still possible.
If you need to do a visa or border run soon, you are welcome to get more information and book the service directly at Easy ABC Language School, or by email at: info@easy-abc-th.com.
I’m under 50 and planning to stay in Thailand long-term. I hold dual citizenship and have entered using different passports—once on one, then twice more on the other for visa runs. During my most recent (third) entry using the same passport, immigration questioned me about my previous 58-day stay and discovered I’m a dual citizen. Fortunately, I had an outbound ticket and was allowed to enter.
However, I’m now concerned about what might happen the next time I return, and I’m looking for a legal, long-term visa option. Ideally, I’d like something cost-effective, as I don’t want to spend a lot just to maintain a visa.
