"Hello everyone!

I'm reaching out for advice. I entered Thailand on a tourist visa, intending to find employment. However, my visa is expiring soon, and I'm still job-hunting.

Can anyone offer guidance on the best course of action to avoid overstaying?

The Thai consulate in Kolkata lists proof of residence as a requirement for applying for tourist visa. Does anyone know if this is a strict requirement and what would qualify? For Burmese passport holder.

We are leaving for Thailand 🇹🇭 in early January 2025 and returning to the USA 🇺🇸 on the end of April.

Our plan is to enter under the visa exempt/get 60 day stamp, travel to Laos 🇱🇦 in early March by air and return several days later and hopefully receive another 60 day stamp and return home at the end of April.

Has anyone left Thailand 🇹🇭 and returned a second time under the visa exempt and received a 60 day stamp both times?

Or should we get a multi entry tourist visa that’s good for 6 months and get stamped in each time for 60 days????

Any and all comments will be appreciated.

After receiving a Thai tourist visa , can you use it one month later. How soon you must enter country..? If I get now can I enter and it starts 5 weeks later.

Anyone got any info on if the planned switch from walk into embassy to apply for a tourist visa in Malaysia is taking place as proposed. I read from 4th October walk in ceases and from 10th October it becomes E visa

. But I've heard people say it may be delayed

Hello. Anyone who applied online for DTV in london.

I am a British Citizen but I am in Thailand on a tourist visa currently.

Is it possible for me to just apply as if I am in London under the soft Muay Thai visa without actually going back?

Please let me know I'm eager to get this soon

Just before my latest Thai tourist visa expired I thought I would just fly to Phnom phen for few days to visit a friend then fly back in and get 60 days on arrival. I was denied entry , held in don muang immigration cells and made to return to Phnom phen , so I thought sod it and went to Malaysia partly because my passport pages were now full and I got 90 days on arrival ... I've been out Thailand now since 10th august .

Getting the new passport is proving to be a major headache (UK) paid more than three weeks ago and no progress has been made. I think I'll be stuck here until near December . Will I be able to get a visa on arrival after having been out the country 3 + months by time I return.

Due to having also lost my phone and access to my banks getting a tourist visa isn't an option as I've no means to prove proof of funds ...

I'm told from 4th October walk in tourist visa applications cease both here in kl and penang and from 10th it goes e visa ... I can't get the apps on new phone due to having lost old phone number .

Thoughts ...on what to do...appreciated . I suspect it'll be well into November by the time I finally get my new passport . Can't even go in person to UK embassy , online only , the GOV.UK website is abomination ... They just take me on never ending loop, with a different person asking me the same questions everytime I contact the helpline . 😂

Hello guys,

I have a question. I plan on living in Thailand and pay taxes there. I work as a freelancer and have a German ID but live in Spain at the moment. Right now I can't fulfill all requests for the DTV visa. Is it possible to apply for a tourist visa and after 60/90 days I leave the country and return after a few days with a new tourist visa ti stay again 60/90 days. Of course I have to be aware of being more than 180 days per year in Thailand to pay taxes there. Would that be a problem? Is it possible to apply for more than one tourist visa per year? Or will they stop me from entering again?

I plan on applying for the DTV as soon as possible so that would only be a solution for a limited time.

I plan on taking my wife with me so we would be two person every time.

Thank you for your advice and tips

David

Hi everyone,

I know this has probably been asked in different variations, but I just wanted to clarify my personal situation and get some advice.

I arrived in Thailand on a UK tourist visa for 2 months, which I extended to 3 months. I then did a border run, allowing me an additional 2 months plus another extension. I understand that eyebrows may be raised after around 6 months. I am currently in the process of getting married to my Thai girlfriend, but this will overlap with my current stay, so I'll need to do another border run to give me the breathing space to finalize everything.

I'm aware there is no longer a 2-per-year land border limit, and each entry is the discretion of immigration. Will they feel I am abusing tourist entries if I show evidence of this marriage process im going through, or should I be fine since they can see (if I provide evidence) that I'm only doing this run to arrange the relevant long-term visa?

I will also be using a reputable border run service should that make any difference.

Thanks,
