Hi, anyone had the experience in applying tourist visa extension from 60 days to 90- day stay? How many days in advance should I approach the immigration office before the 60 days expire to apply the extension? Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I’m going to have a problem entering on a Thai tourist Visa in late June to phuket for 10 days because of my history and immigration becoming stricter.

My history.

At the beginning of last year I stopped using my retirement visa that was forced to get during COVID.

I flew in and out of KL in February last year without a entry permit to return on a visa exemption

I returned to the UK to work for the summer season there in mate April 2024 but had some time off in work in July 2024 and came back for about 10 days before heading to the UK 🇬🇧 for work again.

So that’s twice last year I entered on a visa exemption.

I returned in mid October 2024 on a 6 month METV.

I got a 30 day extension after I entered the first time and then flew out twice for the day to KL and both times I didn’t get a visa extension.

However the last time I flew back from KL in February 2025 they questioned me about when I was coming back.

I told them October and they said that should be ok and make sure I had a return flight.

I plan to get a marriage visa in October 2025 when I come back from working in the UK.

If I make sure I get an actual tourist visa before I plan to come back in June and have at least 20,000baht in cash & book a hotel at least for 3 days, with a return ticket should I be fine to enter Thailand into phuket for 10 days?

I wanted to get a marriage visa at then end of last year 2025 but we had a proper wedding last October and bought a new house so things were tighter than normal having to pay for the house and the wedding.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Visa Conundrum

Hi guys. I am having some difficulty obtaining current information. Visas and their procedures have changed and I find myself lost. My situation.

I am presently employed at a school in Roi Et. I will leave this school at the end of June and begin working at a school in Bangkok. Here is the information my new school has given me. I am unable to convince the new school of changes in their thinking.

1) I must be present in Roi Et to cancel my visa and work permit on June 30. It is impossible to quickly be in Bangkok on the same day to transfer my Non-B from one school to another (I have checked flights). The earliest I could arrive at Bangkok Immigration is 01 July. However, according to the new school, this would put me on a 1 day overstay. Bangkok immigration will refuse the transfer process if I am in an overstay situation. I can't use the 7 day visa extension option as Bangkok immigration will not process the visa transfer if my on on this 7 day extension. Is there a way around this problem?

2) I am investigating a Non-O marriage visa as I have been married with a Thai citizen for over 5 years. I do not have 400,000 Baht in the bank but my Thai salary is more than double the required 40,000 Baht. However I am finding mixed information about using my Thai salary. Some sources say that the 40,000 Baht must come from abroad. Some sources say Thai salary is OK, but I will need a letter from my embassy to verify my income. My embassy (U.S.A.) will not provide such a letter. Some sources say that isn't important and that 12 months of salary slips is sufficient (this I do have). The other issue is timing. I have two months before I will need everything processed. Additionally I have a work permit. Most websites indicate that I would need to cancel my current work permit when transferring from a non-B to a non-O. Does anyone have any suggestions about this option or any information that can clarify some of the questions I have posed?

I think this leaves two further options.

3) Get a Thai tourist visa from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. I am having trouble finding updated information on this. Which is the best country (nearby) to do this? How does the e-visa system work? It used to be simple, but things seem much more complicated these days. If I need to do a tourist visa I would like to do it in the cheapest and most time-efficient manner. Any suggestions?

4) Get a Thai non-B from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. My new employer is willing to provide the necessary documents for this. Again, if I go this route I would be looking for the most economical and efficient process. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for any assistance and insight. Sorry for the long post.

Hi I’m Australian is there a tourist visa for six months with multiple entries and if so what is it called please Tia

I applied for Thai tourist visa last week Monday after 3 days it changes to pending approval up till now I have not received any information or news 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Hi,

I am currently travelling SEA since March 2024 and have spent most of my time in Thailand. It must have been 8 Months in total already. Last time I entered Thailand via plane, I was pulled out at immigration and was questioned, why I want to enter Thailand again. I am currently in Laos and plan to stay for 30 days - I arrived 3 days ago and plan to go back to Thailand, before going back home to Germany. Now I am quite concerned that my entry will be denied.

What is my best bet? Would a tourist Visa help in this case? I already tried to apply, but I seem to need a permanent address in Laos?! Could someone please help me understand?

Any help is kindly appreciated

Hi, I have a friend from the UK and her tourist visa is about to expire in a few days. She already extended the visa once. I was wondering what is the possibility to stay in Thailand and get the stamp for another 30 days without renewing the visa? Can she do border bouncing or fly in-out and get back in Thailand on the same day?

Thank you very much for your advice!

I travel to Thailand on the 30. December and received a 60 days tourist visa. Today on the 4th January I received my DTV visa via email .

Can I go to the immigration office and have my dtv visa ‘activated’ or do I have to do a visa run in order to get it activated?

Any idea if the yearly lease of my condo would work as a substitute for such a document.

Bank transfer proof will only show proof of transfer of funds. Not sure if owner or agents would supply tax number on a receipt. Has anyone had any experience of supplying such a document
