I will be visiting for 6 weeks in February what type of visa do I need and where do I apply and how long before my trip do I apply.

Hey , so im coming to Thailand December 10th for 30 days

When I return in January, im intending to apply for my DTV visa

My question is , will it be ok as I will still be on a 60 day visa (from the December one) or as I leave it will be closed off

Just dont want to apply if its still running ?

Hope this makes sense

Cheers 🍻

Evening all.

A friend of mine has been married to a thai lady for 2 years now,when he comes to visit he's been coming on visa exempt entry.

He's applying for a Non O visa 90 days, he can prove the 65k a month income, as he still works he's only 50 years old. He's worried that the money coming into his bank account is wages not any kind of pension, would the uk thai embassy knock him back for a visa, as when he's here there's no money going into his account. As they would see from bank statement it's money from a employer.

Hello, my situation seems complex. I want to go to Thailand in January for eventual retirement. I receive a yearly payout of nearly 800k on January 1, not monthly payments. But I will need some of that to live on, so can’t tie it up in a Thai bank for months.

I don’t currently have 500k for the DTV, and I understand that I need to show a bank statement with that amount for 3 months before applying for a DTV. So, I can apply April 1.

What visa makes the most sense when I go in January?

Is it reasonable to have “some kind” of visa until April 1, then apply for a DTV, then get an over 50/retirement visa when I can leave 800k in a Thai bank?

Hey all, so for my multiple entry tourist visa I had to add a document ( they said so by email ) but I'm still waiting for them to "approve" the visa and while that's going on I can't add the extra document I have... I'm leaving in 10 days so maybe I should just make a new visa with all the info + the document I have and pay another 170 euro... ( I started the process 15 days ago )

Im landing in BKK on the 1-12-25, I want to stay a minimum of 90 days in TH, I’m 71 y/o I’ll have travel/health insurance,. I’ve got 3 options,1- enter visa exempt and extend it by 30 days to give me 90 days,.2-enter with a TR visa from uk giving me the same options,.3-entering with an o retirement visa giving me 90 days, what would you recommend ?. My last visit to TH was for 222 days in 2022/2023, came in on a TR visa from uk and extended and border bounced, I’m concerned this could be an issue if I arrive on 1-12-25 and imo pick up on it.

Hi 👋🏾 What are the advantages to getting a multi entry tourist visa vs. visa on arrival? I would still have to leave every 60 (or 90 w/extension) days, right? I have US passport. Thx.

I’m arriving in Thailand, flying in from Seam Reap next month,

This will be my second 60 day visa excemption arrival in 12 months ,

Will I be asked for an onward ticket?

I was completing the DTV application, but a question came up: “Have you ever applied for a Thai visa?”

I was there as a tourist, and later I requested a 30-day extension. Does that count as a visa?

I am currently in Thailand on a non o-a visa through Jan 2026. Instead of renewing that in January I would like to get a non o visa. I was told at immigration that my options are to leave the country and return on a tourist visa and then apply for the non o, or leave the country and get the non o while out of the country. How difficult/quick would it be to get the non o in one of the nearby countries? I suspect it wouldn't be very quick. I got my non o-a visa totally online prior to coming to Thailand so maybe that's an option? The reason I'd like to come in on the non o is that I was told that the 800k bank funding has to be from an international transfer if I get the visa in country but if I come in with the visa already the bank funding can be from any source (existing money for example. That's not too big of a deal but wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. Thanks!
