The flight I need out of Thailand decreases in price by 10K (baht) 1 day after my 180 days is up. If I exit 1 day after my DTV visa stamp am I likely to lose the visa? I don't mind paying the 500b fee, though don't want my visa cancelled at Suwannabpoom. Anyone have similar experience to this? Thank

I just wanted to go ahead and share my experience. I have been living in Thailand for two years now initially just doing boarder runs and then on a 1 year student visa. My student visa ended in September 2024. I did a boarder run to Malaysia and came back on on a 60 day exempt and extended another 30 days. I left Thailand December 20th. I applied for my DTV visa in Vietnam was approved under the workcation category. I entered Thailand and was denied entry initially. I had an interview/interegation my Thai language was tested. I do know quite of bit of Thai but didn't understand some of the questions asked and ultimately failed my interview. They asked for my outgoing ticket I didn't have one I bought a ticket on "OnwardTicket" that I have used in the past with no issues. This time didn't work and was denied entry all together. After my case being transferred to another officer and almost deported. I paid an additional 20k baht and was finally let in the country. Don't know if there was really an issue or just wanted bribe money. But Just thought I'd give a warning to those in similar situations.

After the 5-year DTV expires, what are the options for staying in Thailand, excluding marriage or large investment?

Alsoo, Has any one heard reports of possible DTV extensions beyond 5 years?

(Yes, I realize Thailand visa requirements can be somewhat "fluid" 🤙)

Thanks

I'm on a Non B (with work permit) and my son is on a Non O dependent visa. We both have British passports.

Visa expires end of April and we are heading back to the UK within 60 days of that (tickets booked already). I'll be cancelling my work permit and coming back in on visa exempt.

We are in Phuket so considering heading to Ranong. I'm trying to find out what we will need to show upon re-entering Thailand?

I'm on a yearly extension of stay for retirement based on a non-immigrant O visum.

Before doing my last TM47 90 day reporting online on 02/01/2025, approved on 03/01/2025, my next reporting was due on 16/01/2025. Now the next one is due on 02/04/2025. So far, so good...

This morning, I received an email saying this:

"Your receipt for notification of "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" will be due on 16/01/2025.

(...)

Please apply TM47 request online or contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area before due date."

2 questions:

1) Should I worry that Immigration may have bungled up my last TM47? I just checked in the online system where everything still looks good.

2) Useful to know for the next time: Can an online TM47 nowadays also be done just 5 days before the due date? The email text suggests that this is the case but I think TIT also applies here and it might be a "misunderstanding"... So far I thought that it was only possible 14 days to 7 days before the due date, hence I did it 14 days before.

Is there a charge for a Non Immigrant O Visa? I'm on the Thai embassy website and it looks as though it's £150.

Or is that the cost of an annual extension.

Thanks.

Someone here, with a “M” Visa (Media) or any experience getting it? I Need some advice thank you.

Hi - what would be the best way to stay 4-6 months in Thailand? I will be coming from UK

Single Entry Visa: 60+30 days (90 total). A border run should give me another 60 days if I am correct when I arrive back at immigation, for 5 months total?

Multiple Entry Visa: 60+30 days (90 total). A border run will give me another 60+30 days automatically upon re-entering Thailand for up to 6 months total?

I was hoping to do a border run by air after the 80 day mark, is it important that I stay in the neighbouring country for atleast 1 night with the single or multiple entry visa, or will it not make a difference for the latter as the visa has already been pre-approved?

Thank you!

Hi, what would you guys say is the best visa to stay for around 6 months? Education or tourist visa with extensions etc? What would be the cost? Thank you to any experts who can give some info.

Do you have to go back to io and inform them if you have a change of address shortly after receiving your first 1 year extension

Or wait until next extension is due !!

Please comment and happy new year to all of you
