Stupid question but... can we enter on a different port than what we apply for on our visa application?

If I selected BKK for first point of entry into thailand, and decide to fly with Malaysia Airlines via KL into Krabi instead... will this be allowed? 😅

I am in Toronto, Canada. I want to holiday in Thailand for 58 days. Do I need a visa? In any case, would I have to exit the country and come back in after 30 days?

Tip. If you go to Indonesia dont go through the E gate, use normal immigration channel. E gate dont stamp your passport and you need the stamp for your application.

I think should be ok but wouldn’t mind having my mind put at ease

Went to Thailand twice towards the end of last year on a British passport using the (what was) 60 day visa free entry, both trips were roughly 50 days each. Am going again for Songkran, this time for 3 weeks

Is there any chance they might refuse me entry? I have heard it all depends on the immigration officer you get on the day

Hi everyone, I’m in Thailand on a British passport, I have been across the boarder into Loa , re-entered Thailand and received a 60day stamp , I now wish to stay longer .. If I fly to Vietnam for a weeks stay and then return to Thailand by air will I receive another 60day stamp ?? Also can I just fly into Vietnam or do I have to have a Visa before arrival ?? TIA …. 😐

Hi, I obtained a DTV from the Thai embassy in London.

I printed a copy to travel with but we had a super rushed transit through BKK to our onward flight for Krabi and I completely forgot to show the paperwork, I mistakenly believed it would be on their system as soon as my passport was scanned.

Subsequently my very travel weary brain decided it would be a good idea to check my passport and my stamp was just the 60 day one.

Has anyone had a similar experience and could offer advice on the best course of action? Many thanks

Hi, looking for advice here. I have a 60 day tourist visa from the UK Thai Embassy, I landed 6th of September. My Airline have since sent me a text and email to tell me my return flight has been cancelled and changed it to 2 days later than the original which was a stay of 60 days but now I will be 2 days over the 60 day visa limit. I have kept the original return flight ticket and have the email and ticket confirming the cancellation and new dates of the return flight will that be sufficient on exit or will I still get an overstay fine. I know it is only 500 baht per day but this was the Airline who cancelled my return flight that was within the time limit. TIA
