Just arrived at Suvarnabhumi - short lines through immigration. I had a couple of short one week stays in 2025 and then one visa exempt 60 + 30 stay. IO asked to see proof of my flight out before the end of this 60 day visa-exempt visit. Provided and sent on my merry way.

I am visiting my partner in Sisaket in August for three weeks. Last time I was there for 14 months on a retirement Visa but this time as it's a short stay it will be on Visa exceptions. My question is does anyone know with the new digital arrival card whether there will be an issue listing accommodation at our private address instead of a commercial property like a hotel.

i arrived in Thailand on 10 Jan in DTV visa, will stay one month with my partner and then go back to the UK, should i report or make T.M30?

is there anyone who can give me information to open a bank account in thailand

A thousand thanks

Recently had my DTV Approved at Thai Consulate Ho Chi Minh City.

New Zealand Passport

Bank statement was just a printout of my online banking.

The proof of funds money was deposited just a few days before applying.

I also got my dad to write a letter saying that he was willing and able to to support me if I ran out of money. But no screenshots of his bank or anything like that.

I included a copy of my work contract which was from a US company. It was not verified by embassy as some places suggest is required.

Proof of address was just a reservation printout from the hotel I was staying in Vietnam.

Overall it was a far smoother process than I had been led to believe. No documents needed verified from respective embassies, and no issues applying from Vietnam as a New Zealand Citizen on a tourist visa.

Staff were friendly and did a quick check over all my documents before taking my money ($340 USD, no bent or folded notes).

My application was processed in 2 days.

Can't guarantee your experience will be the same, but overall I highly recommend Ho Chi Minh City if you are currently in Thailand and looking to do a visa run somewhere to apply for DTV.

My experience went far smoother than I had anticipated.

TM30 - being told by an owner that it is only for visa renewals - not for tourists (short or long stay)…. true or not?

We will be traveling from the US to Bangkok early November. We will be in Bangkok for 21 days and then going to Singapore for four days then back to Bangkok for 30 days. What kind of visa would you recommend we get? Thank you.

I've been seeing that you need to register with the local police on arrival. Is this correct? Or does the hotel do this on your behalf? For short stay visit. TIA

Good morning, the new rules will be published in the Royal Gazette soon but maybe somebody can answer my question already: I plan to apply for test & go in February but will not stay 5 days but shorter. How do I apply for the Thailand Pass under these circumstances ? Still apply for two nights and cancel the second day later? I doubt the application will be approved with only one night booking. Unfortunately there is no chance that I stay longer as my trip is rather not a fun trip but an emergency …

Good morning, my question is whether or not it is possible to get a 60-day COVID extension in a different immigration office than the previous one issued. I am on Koh Samui on short stay and wanted to get my COVID extension here, rather than Chaeng Wattana at the end of July. Is this possible to do or do I have to go back to Bangkok to complete this. Thank you Tod!
