I did two stints earlier in the year on visa free exemption both were extended by 30 days so I stayed all up just under 180days. I’ve been out of Thailand and back in my home country for 4 months.

I am coming back into Thailand next week also with a return flight booked back to my home country booked in 2 and half months. I have applied for a tourist visa and it has been accepted should I be worried with the recent visa updates ?

ADMIN; Please ignore my last post

HI GUYS COMING TO PATTAYA WITH UK PASSPORT IN JANUARY 2026 FOR 57 DAYS DO I NEED A VISA ENTRY ? LAST YEAR DIDNT NEED ONE.

Looks like Jakarta has speeded up again. Was 14 days wait last month but our applicants getting approved in 4 -6 days the last few weeks

Hello everyone, I understood that as a German I have 30 days no visa needed for Thailand, but today I received this stamp. I’m a bit confused, I thought I needed to apply ahead of time to get 60 days. Does this mean I’m good for 60 days?

Thanks in advance

Any approvals in Hanoi today or yesterday?

DTV border check update: Went out for 4 days and came back to BKK-Suvarnabhumi airport and no checks. Instantly got stamped!

There was some fearmongering about that lately but no problems at immigration :)

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

USE THE CORRECT TM7 FORM !!

There are reports today that people are being turned back on their extension application because they have the wrong version of the TM7 application for extension printed.

Immigrations changed that form a GOOD while ago, the old one used to have the price of the extension, the new one doesn't. The old one was a word document (dot doc) the new one is only available as PDF.

The correct form for application for extension is on the main immigration website (immigration.go.th) and the bangkok immigration website (bangkok.immigration.go.th) too

Here's the tiny URL link to the correct PDF of the TM7

You want to print it on one piece of paper front to back & as always if you fill it out in ink you want to use BLUE ink not black

Obviously the X'd out image is the WRONG form :P

Workcation (digital nomad) DTV approved in 5 working days - London 🇹🇭 🇬🇧

June 12th - Applied online, via the freelancer/business owner route, selecting the Royal Thai Embassy in London.

June 15th - Received request for two additional documents (one more proof of current location, and three months of recent utility bills) which I sent within the hour.

June 18th - Received e-visa in my inbox.

Notes:

I sent everything as requested in the initial application but was still asked for the two documents above. Balance on statement ending on 10th June was around £14k, and I only sent this one month statement. The statement showed a starting balance of £12k though, and an end balance of £14k so that would have shown it wasn’t just deposited in the last month. I wasn’t asked for more bank statements, but I did include three months of payslips in my original application.

Documents I attached:

Cover letter confirming type of DTV I was applying and that I understood employment was prohibited and all my earnings would be from outside Thailand.

Employment certificate on my company headed paper, signed by hand and stamped with the company stamp, detailing my position, salary, and confirmation that I am a remote worker and can work from anywhere in the world.

Companies House document showing I owned the company, and that the company had been incorporated in 2011.

Three months of payslips from one client only (not all my clients) showing a steady income.

Flight ticket and hotel confirmation email.

Driving licence as proof of current address and location (but was later asked to send another document to prove my current location, such as three months of any utility bill, so I sent my last three mobile phone bills which was accepted).

Key tip: keep your documents in order, make sure all fields are correct, combine into one single PDF with a cover letter at the front and all the supporting documents after that in the order listed above, and keep an eye on emails in case further documents are requested. PM me if you have any queries 😊

What's the latest updates on the land borders with Cambodia?

Are there 3rd Country Passport crossing/using those Borders and are they able to get the full 60–Day Visa Exempt Stamp?

It seems that there are limits to specifically: Cambodia Passports making an overland crossing into Thailand only at the land borders which will get limited to 7 Days Stay (Visa Exempt Stamp), but if Cambodia Passports make Entry into Thailand via air at an Airport, then they still get the full 60 Days (Visa Exempt Stamp) and the same seems to apply for Thai Passports into Cambodia

Again, the question is about other foreign passports, but, personally, i would just use the land borders with Laos at this time

Also, it is important to note the change in operating hours (when land borders open and close) for the land borders with Cambodia at this time
