Can i stay do the same day Lao golden triangle by boat for visa run? I've done 2 times heard its not ok now. Anyone cross recently? Thanks a lot.

Hi, I’ve entered Thailand for 3 weeks on Non-O visa (3-month) and plan to extend it (or my stay, to be precise for some) to a year, which will require a 2-month deposit record of 800k baht at a local Thai bank. I’m just about to get an address certificate, with my lease contract, from the Immigration Office ; the address certificate is required by most Thai banks. My question is……..

before my Non-O expires 3 months from my entry, yet my bank deposit has not reached 2 months, how may I continue legally staying here and make my bank deposit reach 2 months, so that I may extend my stay to one year ?? 🤔

I know my Non-O (3-month) is good for only single entry, and as soon as I leave Thailand, I will need to re-apply.

Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey, can I reset my DTV 6 months with a land border run to Laos or something?

I normally fly to Vietnam but wasn’t sure if there was a better way to do it faster

What’s your best recommendation?

I’m on the 90 day non O visa I want to extend it for 1 year , Can I do this at anytime or or do I have to wait until I have less than 30 days left on it ?

Thanks

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.

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?
