What if I already bought a return ticket, and it's non-refundable? I plan to stay in Thailand for 60 days, which is why I bought a ticket for my 60th day in Thailand. However, I only have a 30-day free visa. My plan is to extend my stay for another 30 days at Thai immigration.

Does anyone have any good advice or suggestions.

What is the best solution?

DTV Visa is very easy to get on your own. Providing you meet the requirements. I do see a lot of people asking about agents that can help. Honestly i would recommend you go to the official Thai government site. Its self explanatory. For those who are unsure here is my breakdown of the pros and cons of using agents.

## Benefits:

1. Expert Knowledge: Agents have extensive knowledge of the DTV visa application process, requirements, and regulations.

2. Time-Saving: Agents handle the paperwork, documentation, and submission process, saving you time and effort.

3. Increased Approval Chances: Agents ensure that your application is complete, accurate, and meets all requirements, increasing the chances of approval.

4. Convenience: Agents often provide additional services, such as document preparation, translation, and certification.

5. Support and Guidance: Agents offer personalized support and guidance throughout the application process.

## Pros:

1. Streamlined Process: Agents know the most efficient way to navigate the application process.

2. Reduced Stress: Agents handle the paperwork and communication with the authorities, reducing your stress levels.

3. Access to Exclusive Services: Some agents may offer additional services, such as airport pickups, accommodation assistance, or travel insurance.

4. Up-to-Date Information: Agents stay informed about changes in regulations, requirements, and procedures.

## Cons:

1. Additional Costs: Using an agent will incur additional fees, which can range from 10,000 to 50,000 THB or more, depending on the agent and services offered.

2. Dependence on the Agent: You may feel reliant on the agent for updates and progress, which can be frustrating if communication is poor.

3. Risk of Unreliable Agents: There is a risk of working with unscrupulous or inexperienced agents who may not provide the best service.

4. Potential for Errors: While agents can minimize errors, there is still a risk of mistakes or omissions in the application process.

## Tips for Choosing an Agent:

1. Research and Reviews: Research the agent's reputation, read reviews, and ask for referrals.

2. Check Credentials: Verify the agent's credentials, licenses, and certifications.

3. Clear Communication: Ensure the agent provides clear, concise, and regular updates on your application status.

4. Transparent Fees: Understand the agent's fees, services, and payment terms.

By weighing the benefits, pros, and cons, you can make an informed decision about whether to use an agent for your DTV visa application.

I hope some people find this helpful.

If I want to spend less than 180 days a year in thailand, isn’t it a good option to do 60 days exemption visa with 30 days extension twice a year?

Once you've applied out of country for the DTV, can you come in country on a tourist visa while you wait for approval of the DTV?

Hello, need some advice if I may!

My DTV has been approved for arrival in May, however I wish to go to Thailand earlier will there be an issue if I use it before the date I stated in my application?

Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone, this is my first time in thailand and my tourist visa ends in 1 week (60+30) so I need to do border bounce.

Option 1 is to take a morning flight from bangkok to phnom penh and return same day evening.

Option 2 is to pay for agency, take a minivan and a guide from Bangkok to Chantaburi Province and return the same day.

I prefer take the flight but I'm not sure if the border officer will approve my entry back in thailand when I'm on my own. Do you think that would be a problem?

Any other suggestions? Thank you all

I want to open a bar/restaurant with my Thai girlfriend but I’m here on a 60 day free visa on arrival. Which visa would be best? Business visa or marriage visa? Also, should the business be under my name or hers?

Hello just a general question want to visit thailand four times a year for 1 month stays do I need multi entry visa ?

We have toerist stamp up to march 1th (entry jan 1th). Our flight is (changed to) march 4th. So we have just 3 days overstay. Any advise or experience in the group to go for visa extend somewhere or is it easy to pay at the immigration on the airport (Survarnabhumi)?
