Experince yesterday at BKK. I was previously on a Non-O Retirement with extensions. I was married to a Thai wife now divorced. Two children in Surin. I left Thailand for two years for work and returned Visa exempt 4 December 2024 for 60 days to see my children. Ex wife (Thai) stays in Australia to work. I had difficulty with child access and border bounced Cambodia to get extra time to get access. I left within the second 60 days for Australia for a few weeks. Organising a court case in Thailand for custody. I was held by immigration even after explaining that i am seeking a Non -O on basis of Thai children but need custody. They also had my history and told me where I lived. The IO called supervisor and berated me for the border bounce. I was told next time no Visa, no entry. Seems the reports of multiple 60 day are real. I have never been questioned on previous Visa exempt entries.

Just entered with my DTV which was approved back in December last year, the only question asked is if I was only one person, very easy, smile, wai and respect the officer, you'll have no issues whatsoever.

Do trailing spouse Visas still exist?

Has anyone ever made 90-days report? Agents/Brokers are saying that DTV visa holders do not need to do 90 days report. Such exemption is not mentioned in the official website; the immigration officer did not attach a white paper for 90 days notification to my passport though.

Is it a problem if one was late for 90day reporting and now a have note on passport about the fine paid?

Hello everyone, after staying 180 days what are the conditions when you fly back to Thai? Do they charge any income tax since I just approved by remote job?

Im going to Vietnam next month . Will I need to do the "new" TM6 app ? I'm on a retirement ext, and will have Re Entry Permit. I will do new TM30.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but as this process is anything other than straight forward...once approved, if you plan on border runs instead of extensions, you do not need the 500k baht sitting in the bank doing nothing, correct? It's OK to move it out?

If I get DTV, than later on, I renew my passport, how do I secure the value of Visa if it's tied to the original passport number?

In Chiang Mai, is the 90 day report for the DTV done at The main airport Immigration or at the Central Festival office? Thanks!
