Has anyone noticed the E Visa site seems to be unworkable the last few days . I'm trying the Embassy in Canberra Australia.

Good news. DTV holders can use the Fast-Track departure lines to skip the queues. According to the counter staff at BKK Suvarnabhumi airport this morning, a DTV is considered as a "Long Stay" visa and will be allowed through. Anyone tried using a DTV at Fast-Track lane at arrivals?

I would like to ask, is the duration of tourist visa for China in Thailand one month or two months? Seems to be getting conflicting information?

Just my input given that no two pieces of advice seem to be the same. Arrived BKK yesterday. Average wait, maybe 25 minutes, but everyone marshalled into lines efficiently. Travelling with my partner (English female) and staying in Thailand for six weeks.both of us fingerprinted and photographed (standard) not a single question asked about return tickets, accommodation or anything. The guy didn’t speak at all to me. My UK passport had two stamps in and out of Thailand this year, my partners had one. My passport has probably 20 in and out stamps over an 8 year period with good gaps between. No issues at all and given 60 day Visa exempt. Conversely the guy at the booth next to me (older English guy in flip flops and shorts) was grilled. Where you staying, how long, why you come here again etc, while flicking through his passport. His answer was ‘I love your country and ok I have a few visa exempt stamps this year but I love Thailand’, going to Samui, staying 2 weeks and so on. Asked for proof of accommodation for 14 days but he didn’t have it. Didn’t wash with the IO, who called her supervisor who then led him away saying ‘don’t worry’. He got in as I saw him on the other side but it’s definitely tougher than it used to be, long story short the general consensus here is bang on, look like you’re trying to live here on visa exempts and they are looking at you carefully. In and out three or even four times a year regardless of stay but lengthy gaps in between you’re fine. I know I’m here on a long holiday, and the authorities needed no convincing but the other guy was clearly bucking the system and they were on him. They ain’t daft, if you know you’re trying it on, they probably do too.

Asking for a friend- summarized at bottom. It’s a bit long, but it’s also a bit intricate so everything needs to be mentioned. I’m not AUS so I don’t know, hoping to get some useful answers here. Friend was teaching and had a WP- school was scandalous*shocker* and says they will be cancelling it. Friend is feeling like they might even get ripped off for their last paycheck 🤦🏻‍♀️ traveling w/young child the school didn’t attach to friend’s visa… they put the tot on an Ed visa.

I know some schools threaten to cancel the WP, but in some places it costs money so they just threaten but don’t actually do it.

They have another job lined up elsewhere and just need to sit tight til Jan 1. Can they exit and re enter as tourist? Does AUS have any exempt period? How exactly is it done? Buy evisa or what?

I haven’t gone out and come in in awhile. Plot twist- the tot has UK passport.

Long and short- AUS teacher w/ proper visa status fired, young tot on Ed visa and has UK passport. Can teacher and tot exit and reenter as tourists? Any exemption time?

Steps to do? School said WP will be off by 29 Nov 🙄

so of course they’re panicked. Only need to be in Thailand until Jan 1. Thanks

Hello, I’ve been in Thailand for almost three months. but I left Thailand six days before my tourist visa expired, I then exited to Cambodia and stayed there for about seven days last September. I got a two-month visa again. Recently, I exited again to Cambodia and stayed for about four days, leaving Thailand four days before my tourist visa expired.

My question is: is it okay to return to Thailand through the Cambodia-Thailand border and get another two-month visa?

I just heard something about border run via Malaysia, that it has become very difficult.

We have the 60 day exemption which ends on the 25th this month. My kids and I were planning on doing the border run via Malaysia, because we are down south and stay there for a couple of days and then go back.

So maybe we should do it via Vietnam unless there would be the same issue 🤔

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I live in Australia have a Thai wife and Thai home, I’m Australian 75yrs old,usually I get a one year retirement visa, but my last visit when leaving the local Thai immigration office, in Kamphaeng Phet I paid for a Re-Entry permit, this has now run out, was in my old Australian passport valid till 28Oct 2024

Going out soon on my new Australian passport.

My question is i intend to travel end of this month to Thailand returning back to Australia Mid-March 2025,

(Can l go out on the 90day visa exemption and get an another 30 day exemption?)

Which would cover my trip?.

Or go through the long process of getting a year retirement visa again,

I have all the correct criteria needed.

Any other solutions!

Thanks John

Hi, just double checking something quick. I'm like 20k baht short for my Non-Immigrant O due to the horrible exchange rates currently, so I'm forced to do another border run.

I've only done one border run this year which I extended by 30 days and then another 60 days under "family extension" (my thai wife). I should still be able to do another border run, despite this 60 day family extension I've done, right?
