Hello wise group. I have a query about renewal.

I have exited and reentered in the first 180 days of my DTV visa. If i continue to exit and re-enter within 180 days, do I also need to renew? Do I do this manually and pay additional fees or does the visa continue until 5 years is complete, with no additional fees or requirements?

I saw this online and it's confused me a little.

TIA!

You can extend your DTV once per visit for an additional 180 days.

* To extend your DTV, you must apply at the immigration headquarters in Bangkok and pay an extension fee.

* The extension fee is either the same as the original visa fee (10,000 THB) or the usual Thai visa extension fee (1,900 THB)

Anyone know what muay thai gyms in bangkok have this visa available? Thanks in advance

I'm feeling quite dissapointed to share that my visa application has been rejected in Ho Chi Minh. 😭

I submitted my application on November 24th, and by November 27th, the status changed to "waiting for approval." No additional documents were requested during this time. However, last night, I received an email stating, "Your visa application has been rejected."

I came in on 60 day visa exempt on Uk passport and want to extend 30 days att immigration office.

I’m told I need a TM30 for this.

I stay in a property owned by my brother, he’s unreachable and can’t help me.

How can I get a TM30 myself without any documents like home ownership etc?

It’s a condo block and there reception didn’t want to know and wouldn’t help…

Maybe if I checked into a hotel for a night nearby could they do it? Or does the stay at said hotel have to be for the length of the stay you you applying for I.e 30 days?

Any help welcome, thanks in advance. 🙏🏼 😊

Hi, can someone gives advice. I try to make appointment for a visa at the Thai Embassy at Laos and nothing happens. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks

Thanks in advance for your advice everyone!

So I’m not looking to stay in Thailand long term, at least not yet - I’m just figuring out my extension option so I can stay until my lease ends Jan 14 and complete 3 months here.

My current 60 day visa on arrival ends Dec 6. I could do the 30 day extension for 1,900 baht until Jan 6 but that leaves me with 8 days and I’d like to have a bit more flexibility to stay until the end of my lease.

So it seems I’m left with either the border run to Laos option which appears to cost roughly 6,300 - OR I could also fly roundtrip to visit friends in Malaysia for 5,500. But that also assumes that doing the border run or flight to Malaysia would actually give me a new 60 days and not just 30 which isn’t enough.

Is there another simple option here?

Will I definitely 100% get another 60 days and not 30 days by going to Malaysia or Laos?

Can anyone recommend an agency in Laos that helped them with DTV visa please?

Hi Folks, Never bothered to get my Tm30. Now I want one for visa renewal in Jan. My letting agent has asked me this. What’s the right answer please ? Thanks

“tm30 Do you want today's start date or the contract start date for your renewal?”

I’m in Cambodia near the Thai embassy and flying into Thailand in a few days. Is there any advantage to going to the Embassy for avisa or should I just come visa exempt?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good visa agency for retirement visa ? I will be returning to Benchalak in 6 weeks and would like to start the process. Was going to try to open Bank account in kantharlak myself , but I’m hearing it’s hard to do. TIA
