Does someone have experience applying to a muy Thai school for the dtv but living elsewhere? If you would fly out every 6 months this would not be a problem right? would it be a problem if you do an extension?
Hello, my dtv visa needs an extension before may. Did anyone already extend their dtv already? And did you bounce borders or go immigration? Is any paperwork required ?
My DTV has been approved for Muay Thai, and I'll be flying to Thailand soon. As far as I know, I have 180 days, followed by the option to extend for another 180 days. After 360 days, will I need to resubmit all the paperwork to enter the country, or can I do a border run to restart the 180-day period?
What are the current rules on getting extra time in Thailand by doing a Laos/Myanmar border bounce ie used to just walk out of Thailand and walk back only took about 30-45 min to get processed BUT when getting my family visa in Chiang Rai (prior to that had my tourist visa and its extension) the immigration officer told me now need to stay out of Thailand for 2 nights before I can return.
Appreciated if someone could let me know the current amount of time I need to stay out - I preferred the in/out but if needed will book a hotel. All the best.
How’s it been going for those choosing a border run to renew the 180 days? Anything I should know? The time is approaching and with it being such a new Visa I’m not finding much helpful info online. I’ve heard rumors of complications like needing to pay, needing to show paperwork, or needing to stay out of the country for several days before re-entry.
My 1st year (plus 90 days,) retirement visa expires this April 29.
I’m now looking at my options. I over-paid a visa agent the first go round. (70k baht)
I have the funds, (over 800k in bank for the year, <actually more.>)
But why is it better to pay and renew retirement visa now if I can leave country upon return & get automatic 60 days plus another 30 extra days. paying only the 1,900 for extension? So, why not do that a few times, not pay for renewing retirement visa right away?
We are waiting for our marriage documents to arrive any day now Then we will marry and I will get the appropriate marriage Visa. My problem is my 60 days and now my 30 day extension is up on March 6. I've did this before in the past with no problems. That was before the new E-Visa. Crossing into Laos and staying the night. How hard is it and what's the procedure to receive the new Visa
