I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?
If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?
When applying for DTV it asks for proof of current residence. If I’m in the U.S. could I just scan a photo of my drivers license with my address on it?
I was in Thailand for 90 days from Nov24-Jan25 then left for 4 months. My current 90 day visit will end in a few weeks. I will be away for 2 months and hope to return mid November. I understand that there is no definite answer if I will be allowed to return, but am wondering if anyone with similar travel patterns has been turned away.
For Swedish passport holders who applied for and were granted a DTV visa through the online application, what did you enter in the ‘Place of Issue’ field? As it says in mine ‘Polismyndigheten’ no country or city name.
Hi , so I went to Bangkok in April this year on the 60 day stamp and want to go in October this year till December on 60 day stamp,Will that be an issue with imagration being 2 times in a year? Thanks!
Entered BKK today for the first time since being approved for DTV, had a paper printout of the DTV which I handed over with my passport and boarding card, stamped in for 180 days although I’m only here for two weeks on this occasion. Didn’t get asked about income, balance or that TDAC thing. Was though immigration in under a minute.
I plan to use the DTV as an actual digital nomad though, entering and leaving Thailand several times a year. I don’t plan to “live” here as it were - I would be surprised if any single stay goes over 30 days but it’s nice to have the reassurance they won’t question why I’ve entered and left 10-12 times a year. I’m a digital nomad so that’s how I live 😂 🇹🇭
Hi all! I am trying to do my 90 day report and my landlord told me to register online for the TM30 (she is very old and not comfortable with internet).
I registered and got approved on the immigration website to get my TM30 but they did not send me the PDF. Is that normal? Can I go without it to the immigration office and they can see my registration online? Or is there something not normal here?
Dilemma now, the District office in Samui (applying for kor 22) asked me to get my Overseas Marriage certificate translated in the ministry of foreign affairs in bangkok. But I called them and they said they don't do translation and asked me to find myself and they only do the legalization of the translated copy, need help!
