Hi all,

A friend is coming to Thailand at the end of the month on visa exemption and has just realised her passport expires within 4 months since her entry in the country. She only plans to stay for 3 weeks on holidays and has a ticket back home.

I believe Thailand does not apply the “6-month validity” rule but simply requires for the passport to be valid throughout the stay.

I highly doubt she would have any issues at immigration once in Bangkok but the airline might refuse boarding. So I am looking for an official source stating that the passport only needs to be valid for the duration of the stay. Any leads on where to find it?

Thanks!

P.s. she has already applied for a new passport but might take too long.

I've arrived last week in Thailand and entered with a visa exempt. Two days later, I have received the confirmation and approval for my DTV visa, which was under processing prior to that. I've mentioned this situation to the IM officers at the airport, and they said it's no problem, I just need to wait for the confirmation, and once it's done have the stamp exchanged at the local IM office. I went to Huahin office and see if I can have the stamp changed, but they said I have to leave and re-enter the country. Please let me know your input on this. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m currently in Thailand and trying to figure out how to stay longer—around 3 months or more.

I’d like to avoid land border runs (I really don’t trust those mini-vans 😅), but I’m trying to plan things out properly.

Here’s my situation so far:

- June 2 to July 10, 2024: I stayed in Thailand earlier this year (used the 45-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

- December 9, 2024, to February 7, 2025: I’m currently here again (planning to use the 60-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

I'm from Portugal, Europe..if that matters.

In February 2025, I’m thinking about leaving by plane for a week, go to China for a few days, and then flying back to Thailand.

My goal is to get another visa exemption for another 2-3 months.

I know it’s ultimately up to the immigration officer, but how strict are they considering the days I spent here the last year?

Would this work, or should I look into another solution?

I’m planning to get an DTV/ED in June 2025, so I just need to figure out how to handle my stays until then.

Thanks for any tips or experience you can share!

I will arrive at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport on Monday evening. I have a connecting flight on Tuesday morning, so I'll be staying overnight (one night) at a nearby hotel.

Do I need to have 20,000 baht with me when I go through immigration?

What should I do? My flight is on Tuesday, 17th December, but I still haven’t received any response. Applied at Bucharest embassy.

Today 14.12: the status remains unchanged. There have been no updates, emails, or requests for additional documents.

Timeline:

• 03.12: Status: Pending Document Check

• 05.12: Status: Pending Approval

• 10.12: Status: Pending Document Check

What steps should I take now?
