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

How will the new border run rules affect dtv holders?

Or does nothing change for us?

Just arrived with the dtv for a 6 month muay Thai course .. when I leave at the 180 days do I have to have a new course to come back in on or will I be able to just reenter as it is a multiple entry visa and also will they ask to see the 500k baht in your bank account ?

Has anyone overstayed on the DTV ?

I was 14 days over. Nov 4th was my stamp date and I thought the 14th. Did a border run to Laos. Paid the fine of 7000b and re entered Thailand no issues. They did say no visa on arrivals at that border.

What happens with soft power after you finish the course?

Can you go out and back again the following year without a booked class?

Do they question you?

Hi . On receipt of a single entry non immigrant typo o ( spousal ) visa from the embassy in london , I plan to arrive into Bangkok 1st week of November . Can I then immediately apply for a multiple entry visa if I need to travel out of Thailand ( as I will need to several timesduring the initial 90 days )

Hi guys, I’m in a bit of a quandary on what to do regarding visa. I arrived in Thailand on a non o 90:dy visa from uk with intention of getting a retirement visa. Since arriving I have been chatting with various people who have retirement visa and some who are not retirement age. Those that have went down the retirement visa route a few years ago using an agent are quite happy continuing as they have paid the bulk of the expenses and now just pay agent a fee to extend yearly, however two people I know that used different agent both had their bank accounts blocked, one of them went to bank and got her 500k in baht given to her in cash as they closed her account. The other person only had working money few thousand baht in his account so wasn’t concerned. Their respective agents have offered to open new accounts with other banks, the lady was sceptical but if wants to stay on visa she has to open account and there will be a charge .

One Russian guy that was in our company told us he has just done border runs to keep him in the country he is younger guy and last night a lady I met said she comes over regularly and gets 60 day entry and extends 30 day goes out country a week or so then returns and does the same. Have the rules relaxed a bit since January, I came back with my friends for second visit after a break of a month and one of my friends nearly got sent home and this was only their second visit in total to country . I really only want to stay from September to April with trips to Vietnam and Philippines in between, so my question is what’s the best way to do it without tying myself into costly visa requirements ? I have received a quote for the retirement visa from an agency, that will cost 30 k baht in total covering open bank, doing application and multiple entry . Am I being mean thinking this is expensive for the sakes of 3 months?

I’m hearing so much negative feedback from people on visa saying the government is making it difficult for retirees. I don’t have enough income for the wealthy visa however someone suggested dtv visa that would give me 180 days a year .

I’ve been here 2 weeks my 90 days up on late December so I need to decide , I have Thai phone number with receipts, passport up to date and a 90 non o visa .

Any suggestions and apologies in advance to anyone annoyed by my post, there are 4 of us travelling that are in similar situation

all ready to get the year visa but none of us stay more than 6 months in Thailand

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding my Thai retirement visa.

My current retirement visa is valid until June 2026 but it’s a single entry. I had to leave Thailand in August to return to the UK due to a family emergency, but I’ll be arriving back in Thailand next week.

Is it at all possible to change this to a multiple entry visa, and if so, what steps would I need to take?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

Is it okay for the initial duration of stay to just be 25 days?

I want to be in Bangkok for just a little bit of time, then visit Vietnam for two weeks, after that, I plan on living in Bangkok for many months.

I'm worried that if they see 25 days, they will just give me a tourist visa (despite not needing one).

Living in Tbilisi and applying to the Ankara embassy.

Happy Monday all. Quick question. I have the Non OA with multi entry and I plan to leave Thai for around 2 months in oct. Do I need to get a re-entry stamp and if so how and where do I get it.
