Guys, it has been asked before, but I would like to get advice once again. the owner of the place where I am staying is not living in Thailand so I cannot get tm-30. Is there a possibility done 90 day report without tm-30? or what would be the consequences if I skip the report. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know of any way to expedite a USA K1 Visa ....? An agent perhaps

I was here three months (two months extended) ,

then I left a couple of weeks when I came back to Phuket they told me at the airports that I should’ve obtained a visa and forced me to buy a return ticket one month later not a day more. Gowever, when they stamped my passport, it said two months. Now I wanna stay a little over one month. Would that be an issue?

Because only philippines likes documents!

I have a question for Filipino tourists traveling to Thailand:

How many copies of each document does the Immigration Officer (IO) require for Thailand?

Dahil Philippines lang ang mahilig ng dokumento!

Hey guys,

So I just got asked for my birth cert. I've uploaded passport, bank statements, drivers licenses... All the typical stuff and they're now asking for a birth cert, however, I don't have one and it can take weeks to get on in my country...

Can i go to the thai imigration here and figure out another way for proof of ID? How can I talk to someone that deals with the documents to at least give me an extension on the "Incomplete applications over 14 days will be automatically removed from the system."?

I'm a little lost at the moment, and don't want to stay in laos much longer, haha!

DTV approved ! Copy of Schwab cash account , letter from my company about me saying I need to work while gone ( signed by president me and vice president wife) , copy of professional license , letter of intent stating future plans and attesting to my US location. Filed February 27th , not heard a thing. Emailed Monday and got visa today. FYI

Journey of APPROVED DTV & more.

Ho Chi Minh City, DTV Soft Power (Muay Thai), Italian passport.

Visa background:

- 2022: 60d TR + 30d extension from Italy.

- 2022: 1 year of ED visa, language.

- 2023: 60d TR + 30d extension from Laos, at DMK the officer took my passport and disappeared for 1 minute and came back without questioning.

- 2023: 1 year of ED visa, language.

- 2024: I went to HCMC for 5 days and came back Visa free (60d), at DMK the officer asked me few questions in Thai and let me go.

- 2025: I went 3 days in HCMC and came back Visa free (60d), at DMK again few questions in Thai and let me go. I extended another 30d.

- 13-03-2025: I went 3 days in HCMC and tried to enter again Visa free at DMK. The officer at the queue called other officers and they pulled me over to the back office behind the queues. They made me fill the form and I handed it to the lady sitting at the laptop. The lady never talked to me, but she wrote something on the back page of the form and my passport disappeared for more than 1 hour. I knew by then something bad was to happen. They brought me to another proper office where officers were ready with the deportation form. They were all nice to me and they listened to my explanations. All the conversations were in Thai, as I can really speak decent Thai. They phoned the big boss for let her talk to me. The big boss arrived and she was the lady who was sitting at the computer before. She wasn’t as nice as the others. Always in Thai she said that I had had enough time to travel already so she denied my entry. She said that if I wanted to come back, I had to do DTV. They made me buy the first ticket for the morning after back to HCMC and I spent the night in the detention center. Awful experience. They don’t have an ATM inside the airport, only exchange boots so I couldn’t withdraw cash from anywhere. I was aware that I couldn’t go on visa free anymore and I had already some plans to make something longer but they stopped me before. They kept my passport until I was landed in HCMC and in the queue for Vietnamese immigration. The Vietnamese officer didn’t asked me anything but stamped my passport. I was free again.

Thanks to a friend I contacted a Muay Thai gym and paid for 1 year course.

On Sunday 16/03 I applied for the visa. I submitted:

- Bio data page.

- Passport style picture.

- Proof or residence in Vietnam (screenshot of Airbnb booking).

- Letter from the school, payment receipt and school registration document combined in a single pdf.

- Statement of Italian bank account with >500k THB of 4Q24 in Italian. My bank doesn’t provide English version and they issue the document only after the quarter is ended.

- Selected “Unemployed” and filled other minor infos which I don’t remember.

The preview of the uploaded document in the system shows only the first page of the pdf.

At 5pm of Monday 17/03 I got an email asking:

- Passport pic of the Vietnamese entry stamp, which I provided. Probably I should have attached as single pdf to the bio data page.

- As the financial evidence, they accept only documents in Thai or English. If necessary, I had to make my Italian documentation translated. So I switched my Italian back account with my WISE bank account statement of last 6 months, which is in English and up to date (I didn’t think about this account before).

- Since i selected unemployed, they asked me how I think I could sustain myself. I wrote a cover letter saying that as full time student of Muay Thai I wasn’t planning to do any job in any country and I intended used my liquid funds for my living expenses. I attached again the balance of my wise account from the statement, the balance of my Thai bank account from the statement and a screenshot of my Italian bank account from the bank app (which is in English).

On Monday 24/03 at 12:30pm (5 working days after I uploaded the additional documents) they sent me the email with the approved visa.

Today 25/03 I arrived at SUV airport. At the immigration line, the officer pulled me over and brought me at the back office. A fast video recorded interview in Thai and I got stamped 180d. They only wanted to see my TM30 to verify my accommodation. No documentation needed for my visa was asked.

To be honest reading other people experience, only made me more anxious as I was afraid my history of visas and the denied entry could work against me.

I’m writing my experience to give some hope to others who might be in my similar condition.

All the best and good luck!

I think should be ok but wouldn’t mind having my mind put at ease

Went to Thailand twice towards the end of last year on a British passport using the (what was) 60 day visa free entry, both trips were roughly 50 days each. Am going again for Songkran, this time for 3 weeks

Is there any chance they might refuse me entry? I have heard it all depends on the immigration officer you get on the day

Just wanted to share my failed experience of applying for an extension of stay. Tried applying in Chiang Mai today March 25th. Got rejected because Wise is not considered a real bank. Same goes for Revolut. You gotta provide a bank statement from a "real" bank is what I'm told. This + all the original docs you used to apply for the DTV + rental agreement here in Thailand + certificate of bank account ownership + proof that I've been paying rent here in Thailand.

Hope this helps!
