Hi All, currently I am on a 60day exemption visa, which end at the end of the month. I am staying about 1.5 hrs drive from the Lao border. Can I just cross the border and re enter and get another visa for 30 days ???
Hi everyone, can anyone help me. So I applied for a DTV visa over a month ago in the US they ended up needing more info and I thought I wasn’t going to qualify in time so was just waiting to get denied. I came to Thailand on a visa exempt for my passport and then was going to get a different visa under my son’s school because he is going to school here. However I just found out I got approved but I’m in the country now, what do I do??
Can I go to Thailand from UK without a visa, as we are exempt, for 60 days, then apply in Thailand for a non O visa for 90 days, when that ends apply for non O visa for retirement, if I've opened a Thai bank account and deposited 800,000 bhat? Or when I go from the exempt 60 days to a non o visa, do I have to deposit the money then and state retirement? Just wondering which will give me the longest time to open Thai bank account, find somewhere to live for 12 months, find our way around.
Am I eligible to apply for the DTV visa this year if I have already stayed in Thailand for more than 180 days this year using a combination of a visa exemption, visa extension, and a border run?
I’m a US citizen planning on traveling to Thailand in September on my third visa exemption in 2025. I was reading someone getting denied and sent back home doing this recently. My plan was to go onward to Vietnam after a month in Thailand and apply for the DTV in HCMC. Has anyone else heard of someone getting denied on their third visa exemption entry by air? Lastly I wanted to set up a condo to rent while I am there on the tourist visa to come back to after hopefully getting approved for the DTV in Vietnam, any advice on this?
Is it possible to come into the country for 60 days and then go across the border for a week and then come back into Thailand for another 60 days on holiday visa? Thanks in advance. I'm from the UK.
Hi I am a bit green at this travelling to Thailand from the UK but have seen some posts of people getting turned away at immigration because to many visits in a short time and it has me worried a bit. I came to Thailand to visit my girlfriend in May for 20 days, then i booked for to come back for 28 days in November, but then she asked me to come back in september for my birthday, i am only staying for 13 days then. My question is will i have a problem coming back in November as it will only be 6 weeks between my visits, any answers will be appreciated cheers Steve
My yearly extension of stay for non-O marriage ends Sept 4th.
I’ll leave Thailand next week and come back end of August 20th, by plane.
Then I’ll leave Thailand again Sept. 16th to my home country (Germany) and come back in November.
What will happen August 20th when I enter Thailand (by plane)
1. with a Reentry Permit: Can I stay until September 19th (after expiry Sept 4th of my extension of stay)?
2. without a Reentry Permit: Will a get a normal 60 day visa-exemption stay ? (I understand that the extension of stay becomes invalid)
Thanks in advance.
Background:
My travel schedule makes it difficult to do the extension as usual b/c my travel collides with the timelines for application and ‘under consideration’ period.
So my idea is to get a new Non-Imm o visa (marriage) multi-entry yearly in my home country before returning in Nov.
The visa itself shouldn’t be a problem. I clearly fulfill all the requirements and did it a few times before .
