Hi, my friend arrives in Thailand entering with visa exempt status (60 days) his return ticket is dated 88 days after arriving. After 60 days or a little less he was going to apply for a 30 day extension. Will he have a problem as the flight ticket is 88 days and the visa exempt is 60 days. Thanks everyone

I'm curious how likely it is to get denied a 30 day extension after my last (recent) trip had an extension.

Both trips have been done on a 60 day tourist visa. I had no issues the first time extending my visa.. but the concern comes because I left Thailand for 10 days and came back under a new 60 day tourist visa. Immigration pulled me aside and was asking if I am working here or have a girlfriend here (I don't). They then asked if I have a flight out and made me show them. They continued to ask where I'm going afterward to make sure I wasn't coming to Thailand right after.

Now I'm worried about getting my extension. I've read other people have similar questioning from immigration when returning to the county, only to get denied the extension, saying that immigration put a note saying they would leave the country within 60 days. I have only seen this once on reddit.

This is my 2nd time in Thailand this year, but the last time I was here was 2018. So it's not like I keep coming back.. but I am curious if there is a concern trying to do two back to back tourist visas, both with extensions.

(I'm American and aware I could have just done a visa exemption, but figured a tourist visa was more likely to get me approved for the entries and the extensions).

Please help me to understand the 'onward travel' requirement when flying to Thailand.

We are always advised that the airline could ask u to show an onward travel ticket at check in time in the airport. The reason being that if u r denied entry on arrival in Bkk they are required to fly you back home.

So what use is having an onward travel ticket within your visa stamp date of usually 60 days if u r denied entry on arrival?

Maybe I am missing something here.

I just received my DTV! Will I need to show proof of onward travel when entering Thailand with this visa?

It's a multiple entry visa with 6 month stay. Can be extended for an additional 6 months.

TIA!

Hi there. I will be arriving at Suvarnabumhi next week with a brand new Irish passport. It has a new number. Is there any problem with this? How do they pull up my travel history? Should I bring my old passport just in case? Is my name n fingerprints enough?

i went to extend my visa exemption today and I was told to come back with a booked return ticket.

do i need to book a return ticket for before my original exemption expires or for before the extension would expire?

UPDATE: It was before the extension would expire, booked a ticket with for 1 day before the extension would expire, problem solved - hopefully that helps someone else in my situation.

Do you think Thai immigration will be bothered if a family turns up with the parents holding Destination Visa approved passport stamps but the kids not on the DTV with them (meaning the kids will get visa on arrival)?

Sorry if this has been asked already- With the new 60 day visa exemption, does that mean that you can now show the immigration officer an outbound plane ticket that is within the 60 days, rather than the 30 days prior correct?

Hi! What do I need to extend my tourist visa in Bangkok? I have a 30 day tourist visa, and I want to extend for another 30 days. I hear that I need a passport photo and copies of my passport ID and of course proof of onwards travel. Also, I hear that I need proof of where I am staying. What do they need to see for this, or do I just fill out a form with my address on it?

Also, if they are extending from May 31st for 30 days is a flight to Cambodia on June 29th within the 30 days, or should I book a flight a few days earlier? I feel like that flight is on the very last day, and I'm not sure that's allowed.

Thanks!

Hello everybody 😀

If I apply for Non O immigrant visa for 90 days, must I attach a flight ticket OUT of Thailand within the 90 days or not ?
