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

Hi all. I am trying to extend my visa exemption (60 days) through the e-extension option on the Chiang Mai Immigration site. I understand I still need to go into the immigration office. I'm just not sure what "Current Visa Sub Category" as I can't see anything listed there on the stamp in my passport. Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

I’m sharing my 90 day reporting experience in Bangkok so you don’t make the same mistakes I do.

1. For the DTV visa, do not go to OneBangkok. They only process business/work visa 90 day reporting. Not DTV. Instead, go to Immigration Division 1 Immigration Bureau (120 อาคาร รัฐประศาสนภักดี B, Chaeng Watthana Rd, Thung Song Hong, Lak Si, Bangkok 10210, Thailand)

2. Do not wear shorts that are above the knees (e.g exercise shorts). I was told that I dressed immodestly, and I had to go see a supervisor who told me again that what I was wearing was inappropriate. They did process my 90 day reporting, but the judgement was very uncomfortable. I do understand that it was my fault since it is a government building. So just a heads up.

3. I believe that as long as you arrive and get a queue number before 3:30pm, you’re good to go. I got there around 2:30pm and the ticket said that if I miss my number, I can get another one before 3:30pm.

Hope this helps!

Ive tried to search for this in the group but cant find the right answers. We'll be living in Samui but will need to do visa runs obviously, what is the cheapest way people are doing this? Needing money to stretch as on a soft power DTV so no money coming in.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

So it gonna be Visa on Arrival at the VTE airport.

I will arrive at 22:00 in the airport.

Could this be a problem for my VOA?

I want to personally thank everyone in this group for your immensely useful and compassionate support and guidance throughout this tedious last few weeks of visa adventure lol. Just flew back into Thailand,

Immigration: "how long will you be staying on Thailand "

Me: hands over dtv visa email

Immigration: puts stamp on passport

Loving this! So nice to hear "Ka" and "kup" again lol

Hi All 👋🏾

I’m new to the group and visited Thailand 🇹🇭 in 2022…We Fell I Love ❤️ Since our visit we’ve been determined to revisit and will be returning in May 2026! Can’t wait! My husband says he wants to retire and live in Thailand part time, as we are not settled on the idea of leaving the states because of our kids and grands. We are 59 years young and have been seriously discussing it as a strong possibility.

What are your thoughts as for as age, places to stay, opportunities and how do we get started? We want to start now so that we will be prepared to make our move in the next two years or less…

Thank you 😇

Border run question.

I need one, before I did go to Cambodia 3 years ago. But that's not possible at this moment.

I stay in buriram so it probably gonna be Laos.

My question is: howlong do I have to stay there? And do I have to pay there for a visa? And howmuch?
