Hey guys,

First off, I’m really sorry if this has been asked before. I know it probably has, but I’m a natural overthinker and I worry a lot about small things.

So here’s my situation: I’ve planned a 10-day trip to Bangkok this October (7th–17th), and then I fly out to Vietnam. The thing is, I’ve already been to Thailand twice this year – once in May for 7 days and again in August for 10 days. This will be my 3rd trip within the year, and I’m starting to worry if immigration might give me a hard time or even deny entry.

For context:

• My passport allows visa-free entry for 60 days, but the max I’ve stayed each time was only 10 days.

• I’ll have proof of funds (carrying 40–50k baht in cash), onward flight tickets to Vietnam, and all hotel bookings (already paid).

• The biggest reason I’m stressing is because my girlfriend (she’s from Greece) will be flying all the way from Athens to Bangkok the same day to meet me. We’re long-distance and this vacation means everything to us. If I get stopped or denied at immigration, it would be a huge mess since she’d arrive alone and our trip would basically be ruined.

Has anyone here traveled multiple times in a year like this? Do you think immigration will actually care, or am I just overthinking it? Any advice would seriously mean the world to me.

Thanks a ton in advance, and again, sorry for repeating a question that might’ve been asked before 🙏

Hi. Im going to Thailand with my Visa free 60 days starting from

ARRIVAL 24.11.25 - 14.12.25 RETURN

but i would like to travel to Thailand in February 2026 again.

Is there any risk of getting in trouble to get another 60 days in February?

I mean the first 60 days gonna expire on 24.01 ... so im gonna get for another 60 days just couple days later.

Thx for any advise.

Hello everyone, I’d really appreciate your advice on my DTV (Medical Soft Power) application.

I submitted my application online last Friday evening via the Thai Embassy in Hanoi. On Monday noon I received an email asking for additional documents — specifically my doctor’s ID. After contacting the hospital, they provided me with my doctor’s Thailand Medical Council ID on Tuesday morning. I also prepared a cover letter and attached both the hospital’s official doctor profile URL and the PDF version. I resubmitted everything before noon on Tuesday. By that evening, my application status changed to “Pending Approval,” and it has stayed the same until now (Thursday, 1:20 pm).

I’ve already bought a ticket to fly to Thailand tomorrow afternoon. If the status does not move by then, I will likely be stuck through the weekend.

👉 My questions:

• Is it possible to leave Vietnam while the application is still pending, since the e-visa will be sent by email once approved?

• If it’s not approved by tomorrow, should I extend my hotel booking and change my flight? Or is it fine to proceed with my travel plan?

Appreciate your friendly advice or experiences 🙏

Just to add: my passport allows me 14 days visa-free entry to Thailand. I’m considering flying in first, and then once my DTV e-visa is approved, doing a border run to re-enter with it.

Update :

I’m very happy to share an update 🙏

I just received my DTV (Medical Soft Power) approval email this afternoon at 2:46 pm!

I really appreciate all your advice and encouragement — it gave me the confidence to wait patiently and make the right decision.

This group is such a valuable community, thank you all for sharing your experience and guidance. 💙

Hi , so I went to Bangkok in April this year on the 60 day stamp and want to go in October this year till December on 60 day stamp,Will that be an issue with imagration being 2 times in a year? Thanks!

If you come by airport but they reject you and have to go back the country you come from.

Do they give you something like a "send back/not allowd to enter the country" stamp in your paspoort?

Thoughts on travelling to Buriram next week?

Good day. If this question is not for this group, please forgive me and skip...

I made a mistake with booking my flight, and now I will have an 1 day overstay. What will be the best way to resolve this error?

I don’t post much in this group, but I’ve been reading everything for the past month or so—and I just want to say thank you to the community.

I finally got my DTVI. I flew into Hanoi on July 8th and got the visa on July 18th.

No extra documents were requested. Here’s what I submitted ahead of time:

* Hotel confirmation

* Entry stamp

* Cash App statements from the last three months

* Business registration

* EIN

* Articles of organization

* Receipt from registering my business

* Client portfolio showing the actual work I do

* A work letter from myself, since I own Tony Destin LLC (to be honest, I had ChatGPT help write it)

That’s it.

I know a lot of people have been trying to go the Muay Thai visa route, but I avoided that since there’s been a bunch of issues with it lately. I came in on the workation path, and it ended up being pretty straightforward.

I am hoping someone can give me some clear direction on a Non-O visa applied for in the USA.

I applied for a non-O visa online via the Thai embassy website in the US on June 4, but as of July 4, it has yet to be approved. I am set to depart the States on Sunday July 6th to return to Thailand and join my wife. I have tried to get into contact with the embassy in New York for the past week unsuccessfully.

My questions are, should I delay my trip until the non-O visa is approved or proceed with my original travel plans on Sunday? Once/if the visa application is approved can I exit Thailand to a neighboring country and re-enter on the visa?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Anyone know if boarder run available still from krabi to Satun
