With DTV will it be possible to go in/out as many times as w we wish ?

Also it means we will get as many stamps as re-entry ? 20 times a year will be crazy stampings

Have accidently washed my passport.(well missus has) all intact except the thai stamps have been washed out !!

All except the date of expiry ( see picture).what do I do ?

UPDATE !!!

Thankyou.all the advice .

Eventually got through to.my embassy. Who advised going to immigration here in Kap Choeng.

The very stern looking lady in a very very starched uniform. Told my beautiful wife to be that a trip to Chong Chom border to get stamped

So off we trot.

9 stamps later , 1500 bhat and all is good.

Will definitely get a new passport when I return hone and will always , and I mean always check my pockets before removing and shorts.

Thanks again for all the advice and minor ridicule 😊😊

I have been to Thailand 3 Times this year, with 6-8 weeks inbetween visits, Total time in Thailand 45 Days, i want to come back in Sept 14 days and Nov 20 days! Does my visits require a visa? Please explain the the 60 day visa! Thanks for your help

Has anyone with the new DTV already left and returned to Thailand? If so, what is the new stamp - a fresh 180 days or no change to the original? If we can travel or border bounce to get a new 180 within every six months, the original cost of 10k baht is the total cost for a 5 year visa. That’s the best value visa in SE Asia.

Is the basic 60 day tourist visa Multi entry? Is there something in the stamp that tells you?

in january, i was on my way back to work and had to spend the night in bangkok, I had my passport in the same pocket as my cell phone, needless to say i lost my passport. went to police to do a report, also was very lucky to get an appointment at the consulate the next day.... while applying for my new passport I was given a letter stating the details of replaced passport, and was told I need this when I apply to get visa stamps in my new passport...

I had to leave thailand as soon as I recieved new passport and didnt have to time to go through the process of updating my docs.. So when I get to where I work, of coarse my docs need to get updated and immigration wanted the letter from the consulate, with the impression I would get it back... Now they refuse to return it, which is causing some huge grief. Ive finally had my passport returned, but not the letter.

Im now trying to get a new letter from consulate, but havent gotten very far, hopefully they will issue another one, but Im not counting on it.. I'm hoping Thai immigration will accept a copy of the letter when applying for new stamps....

never loose your passport, its a horrible situation to be in, im still months away from clearing most things up... but the clincher is the Retirement visa stamp..

I wanted to study and get ED Visa, some schools told me can not if I got more than 4 stamps in my passport. Some said to pay extra, can I trust them, or it mught be scam. I haven't heard about any rules like that.. just 2 months visa plus extension is 3 stamps.. my current visa expires middle of next month.

Update on 'water damaged' visa page in passport.

I was advised to get a new passport. With the new passport in hand, I was able to get my Thai visa transfered to new passport.

I was worrying that I had to go back to Immgration office in Phuket, where visas were issued. No need to worry ... if your visas issued in Phuket, you get visa stamps transfered on same day. If visas issued in a different cities, transfer done next day.

The lesson: invest in a ziploc bag when cycling during the moonsoon.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

We say over and over to check your stamp when you get stamped in. but still every week people make posts about how they were stamped in wrong and didn't notice it.

One more time, we urge everyone to;

CHECK YOUR STAMPS BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY FROM PASSPORT CONTROL

If you get bad stamped it is YOUR responsibility to get it corrected.

NOTE:

If you get a bad stamp at a land crossing no immigration office will correct it except that entry point. <- meaning if you don't catch it there you slog on back to get it fixed..

If you get a bad stamp by passport control at an airport, it's often faster to go back to that airport to correct the stamp rather than going to the immigration office and waiting in the queue to get it done.

This is an example of a visa exempt entry (ผ.30) but they got stamped in for 90 days. The officer picked up the MAY stamp rather than the MAR stamp 😮 This does not mean the person gets to stay until May, their actual date is Mar 23 like a visa exempt entry would give

Past visa stamp advice please.

In previous years I needed to submit all past visa stamps with my marriage visa extension papers. These stamps (8 years)were all in my old passport. I have since gotten a new passport. I went to immigration with my new passport and they moved my 2022 visa stamp to my new passport.

My question is do I still need to include all those previous years stamps or just my most recent stamp/s?
