How to contact Phnom Penh? I submitted and paid on 30oct2025, additional documents on 7nov. Since then, Pending Approval. I emailed them 5 days ago, no reply. I called several times, ringing, then hangs up. I can stay in Cambodia until 27nov and now getting concerned if I get the visa in time.

With current tightening of visa rules, I might get problems to enter Thailand on another visa exempt. What do IOs think about people who enter Thailand while their visa is processing? Fortunately I'm flexible in space and time, can extend my stay in Cambodia or go to Lao and wait until I get the visa. But I don't like the idea of traveling around without an idea if and when I get my DTV.

Normally when I stay in Thailand it’s for 6 month and I get a 90 day tourist visa before I arrive then I go to immigration for the extra days, this year I’m married to a Thai and hoping to stay in Thailand permanently, what is the best way initially on entry to Thailand get the mattiage visa before arrival or can I just arrive at the customs get a 30 day stay then go to immigration to get the marriage visa

Re the latest rule change: UK passport holder : still 60 days on entry with option to extend to 90 ? When can you extend it to 90 ….? Thanks

January 2026 marks the 180th day of my DTV visa stay. Do I have to leave for a few days and then come back again, or can I extend my stay at the immigration office? Apparently, a lot of changes have been made recently for foreigners.

If I applied for a 12 month non O multi entrance visa. & was thinking of changing it to a retirement visa would I have to apply for the retirement visa on my first entry into Thailand. Or can I apply anytime within g to he 12 months. TIA

Good day all.

Time for another extension of my non-immigrant "O" visa based on a Thai child. I've used the search function to look for changes to the criteria as the authorities are well-known for tweaks that can torpedo a perfectly decent application but it's very confusing.

Is it the case that the 400k now has to be seasoned in a Thai bank account for 90 days/3 months prior to application?

Visa extension

I,ve just been to Lampang immigration and been told by a young lady behind the desk they can't extend my 90 day non o visiting family visa (i,mmarried to a Thai lady) I obtained from embassy in London. Is this correct?

Hi Everyone! This is my first post and have been reading others and researching online for the answer, but I wanted to confirm with the group on my upcoming trip.

I’m planning a trip to Thailand and planning on staying 75 days (I have an exit flight booked). I understand that I can stay 60 days without applying for a visa, but I need the extension to complete my trip.

I’ve read that you apply for the extension when you arrive (I can’t apply for extension in advance 😔), so my question is, will I do this at the airport knowing my departure fight or do I have to wait until it is close to expiration and go to an immigration office? Or would I have to do a border run? I would want to avoid the later.

Hi last year I arrived to Thailand on a tourist visa exemption for 60 days on December 2024 and got a 30 day extension for 30 days from immigration and left Thailand to Australia on the end of February 28… now I will come to Thailand on 7 December on a 60 day visa exemption and extend for another 30 days from the immigration office is this going to be a problem? i want to stay 90 days total and leave to Australia again on February 28th I have hotels booked and also have a condo there I also have a flight booked back to Australia Thank you appreciate your help and time also is it per year or per calendar year ?

Hi,

I entered Thailand for the first time on 1/10/2025 and received a 60 days stay. I haven’t done any extensions or visa runs yet. I would like to stay in Thailand until 1/18/2026, so I’m planning to do a visa run until 28/11/2025 to get another 60 days.

I booked a border run with a local agency, but they told me they can’t process the visa run at the original border (Chiang Khong) due to stricter regulations. They suggested a different border, but the situation feels a bit uncertain. I’m considering whether it might be simpler to book a same- ay return flight to Malaysia instead.

Given the current circumstances, which option would be better? I hold a Hungarian passport.
