Good day everyone.

I’m new here just have few questions to ask and if anyone can help.

I just arrived Thailand about two weeks ago from Canada. So I’m Canadian. I’m a business owner in for over 4years. I will like to apply for the DTV visa or if any other advice can be given. I already got an apartment here with 6 months lease. So what will be the best way for me to apply? What are the requirements for business owners. Also I will be traveling outta the country( Thailand ) very frequently maybe every 2 months. So do I really need the DTV if ever or what advice can u give please?

Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Hey everyone,

I’m a German citizen and have been spending several months a year in Thailand since 2021, always entering with a tourist visa or the 30-day visa exemption. I’ve never had any issues with entry before, always arriving by plane.

Last week, I took a short trip to Vietnam as my tourist visa had expired and tried to re-enter Thailand using the new 60-day visa exemption. But this time, immigration pulled me aside, pointing out that staying too long as a tourist is an issue. I had to fill out a form (attached) and show proof of an onward flight before they finally stamped my passport with 60 days.

I always thought there weren’t any limitations for entry by plane, so this was totally unexpected. The officer spoke very little English, and I couldn’t get a clear answer about the issue. Interestingly, I wasn’t the only one pulled aside—others around me seemed to be facing similar questions.

Has anyone else experienced something like this recently?

Hello

I will be visiting again next month but it will be my 7th time by flight in a year. Does anyone know if this is an issue ?

Many thanks

Hi all, I travel to Thai every 2-3 mnths (pre covid) and use the 30day permit granted on arrival. By using that so many times, am I risking not having it granted at some stage?
