Has anyone here gotten their DTV visa but their dependent got it for a shorter period of time?

If so, did you find a way to work around that?

What border run do you suggest? Coming from Bangkok

Quick question for those that have been to thailand/phuket recently.

Are they still giving the 60 day visa exemption? I heard they wanted to cut it back to 30 days.

Got my flight soon I'm wondering if I should buy flight for the 30 day limit just in case.

Thanks

What routes have people taking to obtain this visa?

I'm thinking of the Muay Thai fighting gym route but I'm interested what else there is and what others have done

Being honest, I don't know if I could sustain that much training for five years

But I'm also confused about the five years. Can you stay ALL five years or do you have to leave for a fixed amount of time - like stay 180 days and leave 180 days before returning or can you return after 1 day, 30 days what ever?

I'm new to this so all and any info is helpful. Thanks!

For Americans, you got 6 months in Europe and got 2 months in Thailand without a visa, that doesn’t mean Thailand is less friendly to you than Europe, mostly because Thailand wants to generate more revenues from tourism by forcing you extending your visa or jumping back and forth, cutting the staying from 2 months to 30 days also aiming the same, generating more revenues, but this will bring more inconvenient for travelers and may affect their plans.

I have just received my Non-Immigrant 0 visa. I filled out the application form, and told the embassy my date of travel 01/06/2025 that then gives me 3 months, they have issued the E-VISA from 18/04/2025 until 16/07/2025, can I get it changed or should I go to immigration and explain when I arrive, and Brandon what are the complications.

Hello,

Me and my family (husband and three years old son) will apply to DTV on next days. We are from Portugal and have remote jobs. I have a few questions:

- the visa fee of 10000bth is for person? My son will have to pay?

- How long will it take us to fly if we apply now?

- every 180 days we have to leave and re-entry and show all documents again? And pay fee visa again?

Thanks a lot

My Thai g/f has Australia 820 visa that expires on 2nd July for 3 month periods. If she enters Australia on 30th June can she stay for 3 months from that date.

Hi all

After browsing the UK Thai Embassy website it seems a METV is the visa I’m looking for.

However I couldn’t seem to see the fee amount for this visa.

If anyone knows the price I’d be really grateful 🙏🏼

Oh and am I correct in thinking I’ll have to leave and return into Thailand after 60 days? Or is it 90 days? And then granted another 60/90 days on my return?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.
