Has anyone here on a DTV visa done a border run recently on your own without using a agency?Is this possible without problems?Please advise ☺️

Hello everyone.... I know this is not regarding visa but i need an advise who knows the process of a friend have no work in Dubai and she want to come here from thailand. Thank u for the concern answer...

I have 2 overstays but no official ban. 1 from a motorbike accident a year ago and now another because I couldn't get an extension like I planned (I'm about to leave). Could these be a problem when entering on DTV even if DTV is approved? American passport. The first overstay was 40 days.

Hi All

I am flying into Suvarnabhumi on 18th December .

This will be my 6th visa exempt entry this year .

My first entry was on January 10th and I stayed for 13 days before flying to vietnam for a 10 day holiday .

I then re entered thailand on did 60 day + 30 extension and stayed a total.of 76 days

I returned to the UK for 2 months then entered again for 4 days before going to Vietnam for a 1 week holiday then entered thailand again for 14 days before going back to UK and not coming back to Thailand for 3 and half.months .

My last visit was from November 3rd to 23rd .

I don't live in Thailand I work offshore and visit thailand on a lot of my time off .

I only did the long 76 day stay as I fell sick in Thailand so couldn't return to work so extended my stay .

By the 10th January I would have been in Thailand a total of 152 days since I entered on 10 jan 2025 .

It's too late for me to get a visa before I fly now .

I intend to get a proper visa for next time .

Do.you guys think I will be ok entering this time ?

Thanks in advance

Just wanna say my experience to get a tourist visa in Vietnam. It took 4 working days applying from HCMC embassy. They asked me why I applied for a tourist visa and I said because last time I entered IO told me to apply for one. I used an outbound cheap ticket from Krabi to Kuala Lumpur.

Now my question is: I have spent 52 days in the beginning of the year in Visa visa extemp, came back home 6 months and 67 from October in Thailand for a total of 119 days on 2025.

At the moment I'm in Vietnam and I would like to back for New year in Thailand. My idea was to travelling to laos because I wanna visit there first and enter by land from nong khai or could be that a problem and better fly to bkk airport and use a safe entry? Or atill better to wait january to come back?

Thank you guys

I just got an EDU visa in Laos. Is it better to flight to BKK or to cross the friendship bridge by walk? Becouse of all of this problems with immigration that other people have, I am totally afraid even though I never do anything bad.

I’ve got tickets booked to arrive in Thailand next week. This will be my fourth visit for the year. Others being in March, June and October. Each visit, I stay for 3 weeks. Genuine tourist. Have return flight back to Australia paid for. Accomodation booked. Enough cash to pass the 20,000 baht test. Have I got anything to be concerned about? As in, entry refusal?

I answered questions. My wife and I are retired and live gold coast Australia.

Looking for local advise, thinking May next year.

1 week in phuket, 2 weeks in koh samui

Is there anyone who can help with some solid advice please.

I’m going back to SA from Thailand in Feb, already have my ticket. Im working on all my documents and funding etc now and should be done in a few days. Is it worth flying to Hanoi now to do an application or should I do it when I’m back in SA at the Thai embassy in Pta.

I’m asking because when I came back from SA (I returned from Thailand to SA on 26 Nov and arrived in Thailand again on 8 Dec) they didn’t seem too happy and insisted on seeing my onward ticket which I had.

I’m just worried if I leave to Vietnam for 10 days or so and come back I might not be allowed in because of too many visits even tho I have a return to SA ticket.

I hope this makes sense, appreciate any legit suggestions or advice

Any East Africans who have recent experience being approved/denied e-visas through the Nairobi embassy? I have a friend who applied for a tourist visa and was rejected despite meeting all requirements. We have tried re-submitting but trip is in one week. Any insights?
