I got my DTV yesterday in Laos. I applied as a freelance digital nomad. It was all quite straightforward. I went to the embassy to pay last Tuesday, then on Friday they notified me that I would be interviewed this Wednesday (Thursday and Monday were Thai public holidays, so that probably slowed things down). The interview was really quick, they just asked me to confirm what I do and asked to see my bank balance in the bank app on my phone. They also asked if I already rent a place in Thailand. About an hour later my visa was approved.

Before going to Laos, I paid a small fee to an agency in Bangkok that helped me make sure my application was strong enough and apply through the official website, but I still had to come here, pay and do the interview in person. I used the agency partly because I was unsure my application would be accepted, as I work freelance. The agency were very helpful and told me to provide examples of my work and a letter explaining what I do.

Today I entered Thailand overland from Laos. The border official didn't ask me a single question.

Sorry, not exactly visa related, but a question about 90 day report.

Very soon i have to do my first 90 day report here in Chiang Mai, i know i have to do the first in person, and i've downloaded the TM47, but i don't have a TM6, i entered over land from Laos and don't believe i was required to complete this form.

Is the TM6 necessary, and how do i get 1?

Hi, I have used up the 2 allowable overland visa exempt entries for Thailand, this calendar year. If I am granted a 60 day tourist visa from Phnom Penh Thai consulate, is it ok to overland with this?

Can someone please give me information as to whether I can enter Thailand overland from Cambodia .I am a Swedish passport holder and have been in Cambodia for the past 2 months.Thanks.

Hello. I'm on a 30-day exemption stamp and need to be out by Aug 14. Was thinking cross the border into Malaysia (i'm down south anyway) then return overland as well. Will i get 30 days if it's only the 1st or 2nd overland entry in the calendar year?

Other question - can I get an extension on my visa exemption instead? If so, what's the current fee for that, how long is it for, and where are there any immigration offices to do this at between Hat Yai, Songkhla, and Surat Thani or Samui? (Samui gave me a meagre week for 1900b once some years back)

Hi everyone. Hoping someone here will be able to assist with some answers. We will be arriving in Thailand from Cambodia via the land border. We were planning on staying for 30days and extending another 30. Is this possible via overland crossing or do we need to book a flight instead to do this? We are reading mixed reviews saying that we only get 15days that can be extended to 30? Others are saying that we can get 15 days and still extend as per normal. Has anyone done this recently? Your help wi be greatly appreciated.

Eh up me ducks. this group usually excellent source of information so wonder if you can clarify for me.... I have a UK passport, I live in Cambodia, usually go into Thailand overland at had lek. Last three border crossings (all visa exempt) 21.07.17 left 23.07.17, 01.12.17 left 04.12.17, and 14.07.18 left 18.07.18. I need to go overland into Thailand again on 14.08.18. do I need a visa?

Tia for your advice.
