Hi! I will possibly apply for DTV but when on a side trip from Thailand. I plan to have 45 days in the land, then 2 weeks in Bali. Come back and do another 45 or 50 days (all on visa exempt entries) and have another 2-4 weeks somewhere else. I don't plan on doing it a third time. Just wanted to know which country is the easiest to submit the DTV and if it isn't processed in time can I still enter Thailand while I wait? The other option is we apply through the school my child will attend and therefore won't the DTV but won't know if we are staying more permanently until we have trialled life for at least a few months. The above was the only option I could see working well without spending time and money on visas we may not need. Any advice welcomed. No hate please. Thanks

I had 60 day tourist visa and spent about 30 days of it then moved other countries.

If I want to re enter again do I have to prepare something?

Also they haven't stamped my passport for the first entry.

May have been asked before but I can not find an answer.

Can I apply for a Non-O Marriage or raising Thai children in Thailand from being here currently on a visa exempt entry or extension of exempt entry?

Hi guys,

I have been on a retirement visa for 4 years then a marriage visa for 3 years,

I then got the 60 day visiting family,

I now have to leave and come back to get the 60 day visa exempt,

I'm in khonkean, would going out at Nong khai and coming back through the same route be my best option?

Experince yesterday at BKK. I was previously on a Non-O Retirement with extensions. I was married to a Thai wife now divorced. Two children in Surin. I left Thailand for two years for work and returned Visa exempt 4 December 2024 for 60 days to see my children. Ex wife (Thai) stays in Australia to work. I had difficulty with child access and border bounced Cambodia to get extra time to get access. I left within the second 60 days for Australia for a few weeks. Organising a court case in Thailand for custody. I was held by immigration even after explaining that i am seeking a Non -O on basis of Thai children but need custody. They also had my history and told me where I lived. The IO called supervisor and berated me for the border bounce. I was told next time no Visa, no entry. Seems the reports of multiple 60 day are real. I have never been questioned on previous Visa exempt entries.

A question, do i need to stay in the country i have applied the DTV ? I am planning a Thailand travel in few months and will apply the DTV in my country of residence. The question is, if they take too long to answer can i be in Thailand when they gave me the answer ? In this case the plan is to go with the Visa exempt and re-entry later in the year with DTV after approval. Thanks

Anybody knows if it’s possible to enter on a normal 30 or 60 day visa on arrival instead of using the DTV? Becaue my passport expires in just a bit less than six months.

Hi members..

Regarding the 60 day Visa exempt and passport exempt. Once I get inside Thailand on my Passport for 30 days can I apply for 60 extension. I believe there is a Travel 180 day visa.

Is this correct..

Please just sensible and helpful advice 👍. Cheers

My mom came into Thailand on a tourist visa. Is it possible to extend her visa at the Samut Prakan immigration? She’s staying in Samut Prakan.

Asking for my Indian friend. They want to extend (here in Phuket currently on a 60day visa exempt entry).

Are they eligible for a 30 day extension or only 7 days?

Know it was 7 days before, not sure it was relaxed when India went to visa exempt entry.

Thanks in advance!
