I'm traveling several times starting on December 31st. Going to Thailand a total of 3 times until March and then 1 more in June. Never stay more than 60 days. I had written to the embassy in Berlin whether I needed a visa. They wrote back quickly with the recommendation, for the 2. Entry to apply for a visa.

Now I have requested a tourist multi for 175 euros. The first application was cancelled because I must have set a hook wrong, I provided travel document and not passport. I thought travel was the passport.

Then I have the 2. Request submitted. Verified again 175 euros via Mastercard.

Now 2x175 Euros were marked down on the Mastercard. There is hope that the the the for the 1st Withdraw my application, because I didn't get a visa?

If not, that would be really sh.... expensive. Especially if it wasn't really necessary, as I hear from others here.lg

Ich reise ja mehrfach ab 31.12. nach Thailand ein insgesamt 3x bis März und dann noch 1x im Juni. Bleibe nie länger als 60 Tage. Ich hatte die Botschaft in Berlin angeschrieben, ob ich ein Visa brauche. Sie schrieben schnell zurück mit der Empfehlung, für die 2. Einreise ein Visa zu beantragen.

Nun habe ich ein Tourist Multi für 175 Euro beantragt. Der erste Antrag wurde gecancelt, da ich wohl einen Haken falsch gesetzt hab, ich habe travel document und nicht Passport angegeben. Ich dachte Travel wäre der Reisepass.

Dann habe ich den 2. Antrag gestellt. Wieder 175 Euro per Mastercard verifiziert.

Nun wurden auf der Mastercard 2x175 Euro vorgemerkt. Besteht die Hoffnung, dass die die für den 1.Antrag zurückziehen, denn ich hab ja kein Visa bekommen?

Wenn nein wäre das ja echt sch.... teuer. Vor allem, wenn es eigentlich nicht nötig wäre, wie ich von anderen hier höre.lg

Sorry if its been asked loads before but here is my story/ and 2 questions.

I had been in and out of Thailand 4 times over the last 8 months (I am a genuine traveler not doing border runs), but due to all the "confusion and changes" I decided to get the 6 month multiple entry visa that allows upto 60+30 leave and 60+7. I am currently in Malaysia having a look around so it made sense. I applied on the 5th of December and paid the $145. I got 4 different e mails requesting a load of extra information which I gave. The last comunicación I had was 4 days ago and now nothing. I am a uk passport holder .

My first question is, has any one been in the same position and how long did you have to wait.

And the 2nd question.

On my travels I intend to go in and out of Thailand 3 more times over the next 4 months having a look around southeast asia.

I am aware of all the border closures and the current issues with the Thai neighbours

Is it worth me just getting a TDAC and try riding over with my motorbike at a land border. Current on a Malaysian bike. Will this affect my application for the multiple entry visa.

I also get Christmas is next week but that's why I want to go back to thailand to spend it with good friends from the UK

Thanks for your help

How often do you travel in and out of Thailand on a DTV visa? I'm planning to relocate permanently, but I'll be leaving the country and returning to Europe for a week in every two months. That's 6 or 7 entries to Thailand per year. Does anyone else doing like this? Do you encounter any problems with the immigration control at the airport? I know that according to the rules, no one should have a problem, but what does it look like in practice?

Looking for some advice, I'm over 50 and want stay here for 6months. I have a bank account, kind of with bbk, it'frozen at the moment I was thinking to get any retirement Visa.They say , if I put eight hundred thousand bat , and they'll freeze it for 3 months and give me the certificate right away is a retirement visa the best 6 months stay. I did do a border bounce last year. Looks like things are getting a little tighter. I wish there was a 6 month Visa here.

A question. Came to Thailand on 14 Oct. 2025. Leaving Thailand on 12 Jan 2026 and then applying for DTV or METV and go to Thailand, then I can only enter Thailand 1 more time in 2026. ?

Non-o marriage visa

Hello everyone! Question for those who recently applied for non-o marriage visa in Vientiane. As I understand, you need 400k in your account at least 2 month before extending you marriage visa in local immigration. But is it also true for getting a new visa in Vientiane? Or can you deposit 400k like a week before applying for 1 year non-o multiple entry visa and then re-enter the country every 3 month without going to immigration?

In the past 2 years I got non-o multiple entry each year and had to re-enter Thailand every 3 month. But they never asked me for the 400k in the bank or 40k/month income.

Appreciate any info!!🙏

Good morning!

I live in Hua Hin for 6 month with a METV and has to leave the country every 2 month. This is clear?

Do I need a reentry permit any time with this visa?

Thank you.

be aware! If you're already on a multiple entry visa or similar issued by your home embassy this will need to be cancelled before they can continue the DTV.

It will be your responsibly to contact your home embassy and get the visa cancelled. You then upload proof it has been voided to your application

Plan for at least 1 week to get this done.

I entered the Kingdom through Laos with a e-Visa, a 90 day single entry non-O taking care of my Thai children. I live in Thailand but work abroad on a six weeks rotation.

Can I change this Visa to a non-O multiple entry 1 year Visa??

Some advise please on the new visa requirements.

I plan on staying in Thailand for 3 to 6 months then returning to the UK for 1 month then flying out to again for another 3 to 6 months, could this be done on a Tourist Visa or would i need a 1 year single / multiple entry Visa

Any advice would be welcome
