Hi members

Getting ready to head to the airport heading to Bangkok

Then onto Khon Kaen.

What is the official site for landing 3 days before..

Also having problems trying to get boarding passes is there certain times for them Also..thanks for help

I spent 40 days in Thailand in Nov/Dec and 59 days in March/April. I plan to go to Thailand on 1st July after spending almost 2 months in Vietnam and I have a flight booked to Malaysia on 21st July (real one, not a temporary PNR reservation)

My worries stem from being questioned by the IO last time after she saw my flight to Vietnam was after 59 days.

Is it likely that I will get denied entry or am I overthinking it? The IO didn't explicitly say to get a visa next time but she did ask if I planned to come back to Thailand.

Anyone travel from Canada on an METV with a one way ticket? We did pre Covid, just wondering if that changed?

The Cdn Thai website says they want a round-trip ticket. Can we just show onward travel?

Hi there im wanting to get a dtv for october. I have 2 mil baht in the bank but i wont be able to get a remote job as they are pretty hard to come by here in new zealand

Any suggestions. Thanks

Hi all

Question- the new arrival TAC system.

I'm travelling in August with a party of 7, 5 adults 2 Children as lm booking the flights one block booking for all 7 can l put all 7 on one TDAC application or must we do all single applications?

Tried to do my TDAC for the May 18th,it will not allow me to enter the day of entry as May 18th,tried 2025/05/18 but the system invalid?

Anyone managed to do a tdac yet.

Hi everyone.

I applied for the tourist visa on Friday evening, and my flight is on 21st. In case I don't get it on time, can I get the visa on arrival instead, stay for 2 weeks and then exit and re-enter with the tourist one I'm yet to receive?

Thank you in advance and have a lovely day ahead! 🌸

DTV approved in Ho Chi Minh!

I meant to post this earlier, but I’ve been traveling by bus and things got hectic—sorry for the delay!

Application submitted: Late night on March 11

I submitted documents including a Vietnamese investment account (not a stock trading account but a foreign investment account) with approx. 700,000 THB.

I included a bank balance certificate and 6 months of transaction history, showing an average of 350,000 –400,000 BHT and topped up to 700,000 THB a week before applying.

I also submitted Airbnb booking documents in Vietnam and my passport stamp showing entry into Vietnam.

March 13 (morning): I was asked to submit additional documents

They wanted to know about my income or how I plan to sustain myself in Thailand, and requested a full copy of my passport.

I responded within 3 hours with another bank account holding over 500,000 THB (balance certificate only),

and mentioned my YouTube channel with around 2,000 subscribers to show how I could sustain myself.

I also had a lot of travel stamps in my passport from a bus trip across Southeast Asia last year, so I explained each one just in case they got suspicious.

March 18: Visa approved!

April 1: I entered Thailand via Mukdahan from Savannakhet and received a 180-day stamp without any questions.

I applied with Muay Thai Fever in Chiang Mai under the "soft power" category.

I actually visited them in person back in February, checked out their facilities, and talked with the manager. They were super helpful and quick with paperwork. I highly recommend them!

Bonus tip:

If you fail in hcmc, don’t go to Hanoi.

Instead, take a 3,4-hour bus to Can Tho—weirdly, it's still under Hanoi’s jurisdiction, but many people have better luck there.

Good luck everyone!

So here's the situation, I live in Samut Prakan and have used the TM.30 aligned with my condo for doing extensions and using it to report to immigration every time I re-enter Thailand. Recenlty I hit a snag where I mistook a 1 for a 7 and overstayed by three days. I immediately realised my error and went to the nearest immigration office to avoid paying higher fines. But we were on holiday at the time and had to create a new TM.30 from the hotel booking we had in the other province in order for me to get the extension.

Next month, I’ll be traveling to my home country. When I return to Thailand, will I be able to use the original TM.30 receipt of notification from my Samut Prakan address at the Samut Prakan Immigration Office? Or did the TM.30 from the other province automatically void the old one, meaning I’ll need to submit a new one?

Hello,

Does anyone know offhand if a 13 yr old can enter Thailand unaccompanied? He is a US citizen flying from NYC. I can get the flight from AA, and I presume they will help with immigration, but if anyone knows anything or has some recent experience with this.

Many thanks,

Ali
