Anyone had thoughts about after the 5 years , do you think they will scrap the visa or give option to renew/reapply

Has anyone tried extending your DTV visa at central festival chiang mai. If so, what was your experience?

Hi and thank you for you comments:

I am going to apply here in my home country for the retirement non OA visa. I’m also using the monthly method when I apply and intend on meeting all the requirements here. I will start making my deposits as soon as I have a bank account and will have met the 12 months deposit as required for my renewal. So my question is: as long as I continue to meet deposit and insurance requirements does my Non OA visa expire after the first renewal and I the transfer to a Non O or return to home country and reapply for the Non OA? I’m a bit confused so I hope I didn’t confuse you too! Edward

Bangladeshi passport holders are eligible for DTV?

FYI...

Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still deliberating the possibility of reducing the visa-free period for foreign tourists from 60 days to 30 days, with no decision made thus far.

Ministry spokesman Nikorndej Balankura reassured that no new visa regulations are currently in place, so tourists visiting Thailand remain unaffected for now.

Since a policy change in July 2024, passport holders from 93 countries have enjoyed entry into Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa, with the potential to extend their stay to 90 days.

Full story:

When the DTV Nomad is approved, how much time do we have to come to Thailand? Is there a time 'validity' before the departure of the country of origin to Thailand until get the stamp when we receive the approval from the embassy?

Can I leave thailand to cambodja apply for dtv go back to thailand and when it's approved go back to cambodja?

Hey all,

Since I travel a lot for my work my passport will soon run out of pages, maybe 2 left at present.

When I renew my passport do I need to re-apply for my DTV, or after a trip to immigration can they do something to connect the passports so I carry both till the DTV expires.

I'm thinking I will have to re-apply but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

Visa Extension denied at Koh Phangan Immigration.

UPDATE

We went to samui immigration and got the extension in 10 minutes.

We stayed in Thailand from late October 2023 to mid-April 2024, based on visa exemptions, extensions and two border runs during this period. We re-entered Thailand on November 8th, 2024 at BKK Airport, we were questioned and asked for a return ticket. We showed a return ticket for 60 days later. They further told us that we did a visa run with stamping out and in on same day earlier this year and that we should not do this again. (We did this with a visa agency.) Eventually we got stamped in until January 6th. Now, in Koh Phangan, immigration is refusing to extend our visa due to a remark in the immigration system about the return ticket and that we have acknowledged the visa run. They say we must leave. Has anyone else faced this? Can we try Samui or another immigration office? Any advice appreciated.

I want to submit for my girlfriend via dependent category but we don't have any marriage certificate. How can we do the process?
