Started a Non O visa application 27/11/25 after getting various emails requesting further documents. I sent my final document 16/12/25. The web site still says processing application. I fly Christmas Day with no NON O visa. I’m will be in Thailand for 59 days. What can I do if I receive the visa while in Thailand. I was hoping to have it in place at my time of arrival as I need to open a bank account.

TIA of any help

MERRY CHRISTMAS

does anyone know the best way besides plane to do a border run from chiang mai. i was denied on the plane due to medical reasons even tho I have a note from a doctor saying it’s okay for me to travel so i need to find another way.

I plan on doing a border flight to Malaysia for my 180 days. Does anyone know how many nights I need to stay in Malaysia before returning back to Thailand? I’m on a five-year DTV Visa.. thank you all in advance 🙏😬

Hi

Stuffed up calculation when I booked my return ticket, my flight is in February but visa expires on 19th January

I assume can’t extend a dtv at all ? Is only option to jump to another country and return ? Or they got strict on that in new visa reforms ?

Cheers

Extension and border run. Will I be let in?

So in 2024 I entered in july 2024 for a week.

Then in September i came back and stayed for around 80 days with an extension and then left for three weeks to Indonesia and Malaysia and finally came back for another 35 days and left in January 2025

I am planning to visit early Jan 2026. Will be previous pattern be a problem? It would have been almost 12 months since I left. No entries in 2025.

Thanks for any insight.

Arriving on December 27th for my 4th visit on visa waiver from USA since February 2025. I am planning to take girlfriend to Japan for a week during my one month stay. I have never extended during any stay and am looking at 80 days in Thailand this year up to this point. Does anyone have good information regarding if this travel will be frowned upon or outright denied now that the crackdown is happening?

Thank you!

Has anyone here on a DTV visa done a border run recently on your own without using a agency?Is this possible without problems?Please advise ☺️

Hi just a question if I apply for a non o visa and it hasn't gone through and flights booked come in on a tourist visa , and the non o comes through while in Thai , do I have to do a boarder run ? No bank account yet ,

Border run number 3 on 9.12., land border to laos, Friendship bridge 4 near chiang rai. We went to Laos for 2minutes and come back. No question asked at thai border coming back.

I have been here now and dtv since 31.8.2024 never been asked anything on enter, I have used cambodia border 1st time, laos vientiane 2nd time, and now FB4. Every time is so easy ❤️

I always drive at the border myself, and cross the border walking with only wallrt and phone.

Dont be afraid of the trolls, dtv is cool 🥰🥰🥰

There was a posr about this FB4 borser before that they ask for every document. No, not from me.

Laos border control suggested me I dont have to enter Laos, can just go back, but I didnt want to take "the risk" of not entering another country. If I had more time, i would have tried, but I had a tight schedule for this trip

Hello everyone. My partner is British, he’s 73 years old. He’s entered Thailand on 15 November by Multiple tourist visa apply in Uk which will expire on 14 January. He would like to live in Thailand for 6 months.

Question!

Should he extend tourist visa on 10 January? So he can live 1 month and Then he fly to Singapore for 7 days on 14 February. He fly back to Thailand. So he can stay in Thailand 60 days?.

Or on 10 January he fly to Singapore and apply for non o visa then fly back to Thailand so he can stay 90 days?.

He booked the flight back to uk on 15 May 2026.

He got 2 strokes which is difficult for him to walk.

Many thanks.
