I'm so happy this page exist! We are a family of five hoping to spend some

Time in Thailand. Our plan was to apply for a student visa (2 cooking classes; 3 muai Thai boxing). I'm very concerned about being denied entry (US passports). Our plan was to visit Thailand and scout acceptable schools and apply for the student visa within the country. My question is, is this acceptable? Is it likely we'll be issued the visa before our 60 days expire? Amy advice is appreciated. Thnx much

I am just filling in the DTV now, I am stuck on date of arrival and intended departure, I will be going in September but not sure of date , I was intending to buy a one way ticket , and an onward flight about 3 weeks in to visit Vietnam for a week , then back to Thailand. Coming home for Christmas probably , and then back to Thailand again. I am concerned that they may just issue a one time entry if it looks like I will only be there 3 weeks?? Do you think is would be better to book a return flight and stay for 2 months? Also re proof of accommodation, I usually only book a hotel for a few days at a time as I like to travel around, will this be a problem? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. R

Hello! I know this question has been asked many times, and no one can answer for sure but I need some peace of mind or advice haha.

So I entered Thailand for first time ever in August of 2023. on TR visa stayed 60+30 days, I went back home to Croatia and returned to Thailand on another TR visa 60+30 days. No questions or warning given exiting or entering. Now as most of you I fell in love with Thailand and would like to return back in April for Songkran, some concerts and meeting some USA friends . I would’ve been out of Thailand and in Croatia for 2 months before entering again .

I do not have plans for applying for any more this year as my work and studies start.

I have plenty of funds and would be able to provide money, tickets and hotel booking with no issue.

Anyone with similar history of entering have any advice , or share their experiences?

If I’m pulled to the side for questioning what should I expect! (From reading many posts this will be most likely) should I offer money for “fines” or something similar?

Thanks everyone who took time reading and answering. I’m very anxious and as my friends have already booked their flights I really want to be able to enter one more time.

Croatia is not available for visa on arrival or visa exemptions.
