I have a Nepali client traveling with an original itinerary of Thailand (3 nights), Singapore (2 nights), and Malaysia (3 nights). Singapore is visa on arrival for Nepali passport holders, while Thailand and Malaysia require pre-applied visas. All tickets were issued for visa purposes; however, the Thailand visa was rejected on 23 December and marked under a “watch list,” meaning re-application is not possible for at least one month, while the Malaysia visa is already received. The issued tickets are Nepal–Thailand and Thailand–Singapore with AirAsia, Singapore–Malaysia by coach, and Malaysia–Nepal with Batik Air. Since Nepal–Singapore airfare is currently very expensive, we are considering using the existing Nepal–Thailand ticket only for transit and changing the Thailand–Singapore flight to the same day, keeping the passenger airside without clearing Thai immigration and traveling with hand carry only (no checked baggage). Another option is to purchase a new Thailand–Singapore ticket while retaining or rescheduling the remaining sectors to reduce cost. I would appreciate guidance from fellow agents and operators on whether a Nepali passport holder can transit through Thailand without a Thailand visa under these conditions (same-day transit, airside only, no baggage, no immigration clearance, different PNR ticket) and whether airlines allow boarding in such cases?
TDAC requirements. I will be arriving at BKK for a transit. I will arrive, go to arrival immigration, turn around and go to departure passport check. "Self transfer". I will never leave the airport.
Do I need a TDAC and if so what do I enter for where will I stay!
Hi , can I get advice please, I exited Thailand on 23-3-25 after a eight month stay , (broken up by a boarder run and two weeks in Vietnam) so in that eight month period I was in Thailand for over seven months …. I was told by immigration I cannot re-enter Thailand for a six month period….. I’m now in The Philippines wanting to book a trip to London / Heathrow,, nearly all the flights go via Bangkok ,, self transfer ….. Will I be allowed to enter Thailand as technically I have to go through customs to claim my baggage to rebook on connecting flight ?? TIA..
Hi, anyone know if i'm transiting through Hanoi Vietnam from Bangkok to Uk with stopover in Hanoi 20hrs. Do i need a visa to leave the airport? I've read conflicting answers.
Does anyone on this site know how it would be possible for a Costa Rican passport holder to transit through Thailand on their way to Laos. I believe they need have a transit visa to transfer from DMK to BKK. Unfortunately it seems the Thai embassy in San Jose is no longer issuing visas, and there seems to be no way to do e-visa......
My thai gf wants to come to the uk for a holiday but she will land in dublin which is not part of the uk in Northern Ireland.is there any issues for transit up to Belfast from dublin airport?

Will I still need to book a hotel for day one pcr despite not leaving Bangkok Airport? Or is there some way around this?
Hi everyone, I have a question I haven't been able to find an answer to elsewhere. I am planning a trip from the US to Thailand and Cambodia in March. I'm planning for it to start in Thailand for 2.5 weeks and then go over to Cambodia for a week. The best flight back to the U.S. I found is from BKK > DC, but I would need to book a separate ticket to get from Siem Reap back to Bangkok. Is it feasible to do this without applying for a second Thai Pass just to transit? Thank you!
