Has anyone visited Thailand twice this year using visa exemption and the again since 17 Nov? Each visit being less than 30 days with no extension and returning back to home country.

This is the best written article I have seen on the new Visa Exempt rules.

The DTV is not effected but some reports of agents/border trying to charge same-day fees to DTV holders.

Do not hold off applying for DTV if currently relying on Visa Exempt and want to change.

Has anyone on a DTV Visa done a border bounce through Chiang Khong recently? Is it possible to come back same day? I would prefer to go solo rather than by bus with a visa company. Thanks all!

I have a non O visa 90 days and arrived in Thailand the 28 October, I am 67 and married to a Thai.

We planning to fly back to Norway at the end of April (max 6 months), therefore wonder is it the same if we go a couple of days to Laos by land and back an get 60 days and try to get more 30 days in the immigration or do we have to fly out of Thailand and do the same?

We are uk family of 6 4 kids ages 19-15-9-6 years have a business online & relevant funds my question is when we apply for the dtv do we apply as a family or do we have to apply individual and do each individual person need 500.000 tbh in there own names or is it a different amount for a family im wondering do I have to put £12000 in each of my kids banks for a 3 month period to apply as we don’t plan on moving there until April due to work commitments here so have time before sending in the applications??

Good morning

I currently live in Chiang Mai on a Non O with yearly extension, if I relocate to say Hua Hin would the renewal process and 90day reports be straight forward or would I have to go through extra processes?

Thank you.

Me (primary applicant) and my family are on DTV workcation visa. It mentions clearly that we can't work in Thailand. However, my daughter will be school going soon. Can she study in Thailand as a normal visa holder or any limitations in DTV? Will she be admitted in public schools (I am ok with her learning Thai language) or shall I only opt for international ones?

I’ve recently applied for the DTV through the Wellington Embassy (yep, I know—it’s the pricey one, but since I’m based in NZ I figured I’d give it a go).

The embassy has come back with this request:

“Other requested documents: Proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire duration of stay is required.”

Has anyone else come across this? What did you provide?

I’ve got accommodation sorted for the first month but was planning to find an apartment once I arrive in Chiang Mai.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I have submitted an E-Visa application for a retired 90 day, Non-O, single entry visa through the NYC Thai Consulate. It is currently pending approval as of November 5. How long does it take to receive an approval (or denial) from the Consulate?? I have rented a condo the past 2 years. I am leaving 11-25…hopefully

Thanks

How do I start the process of getting a retirement visa? I am a 55 yr old veteran ready to make the move. All serious help is welcome. Thank you in advance.
