its my first time entering Thailand, my dtv has been approved and I have printed it and have it with my passport. what other documents do I need to have ready to show immigration upon arrival?

How do you guys verify Truemoney account for advanced access because basic only offers monthly limit of 5K Baht. I uploaded my Pakistani National ID but rejected.

Hi, I have a DTV but haven't been to Thailand since March 2025. I'm thinking of spending a few months there soon and wondering if I can just show my DTV or do I need show current bank statements etc?

🇹🇭 Advice Needed: Overstayed 180-Day Rule - Returning in February 2026?

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from those with recent experience regarding Thai immigration and the 180-day rule.

I recently returned home last month, but looking back at my 2025 travel history, I realize I spent significantly more than the official 180-day limit using visa exemptions. I wasn't fully aware of the official rule, and I accept my mistake.

My 2025 History (Visa Exemption):

* Total Stay: Approximately 9 months (200+ days) in Thailand.

* Method: This was accomplished through a combination of initial entry, one border run, and two visa extensions at immigration offices.

* Current Status: I left Thailand last month (November 2025) and am currently in my home country.

My Questions & Plan for February 2026:

My current plan is to return to Thailand in February 2026, to immediately enroll in a course and apply for an Education Visa (ED Visa).

* Entry on Visa Exemption (Feb 2026):

Given my long stay in 2025, will I be allowed to enter Thailand on a standard visa exemption in early February 2026?

* Immigration Risk: Since the calendar year will have reset, the 180-day count should theoretically reset. However, will my significant overage/long stay in 2025 flag me for denial of entry when I arrive?

I am nervous about being denied entry due to my past history, even though I will be entering in the new year with the intention of switching to a long-term education visa right away.

Any advice or experiences from people who have re-entered after staying long periods under the exemption scheme would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Can the first 90 day report be done by mail?

Malaysian BORDER RUN in 2025 question?

Specifically if anyone with less than the 150 days total in Thailand has success or failures crossing this border after Nov 17, 2025? ...& which border crossings?

I'm wondering what is the success chance to do a Malaysian border run from Southern Thailand in Dec 2025? I've read I need to stay minimum 2 days out of Thailand before returning.

In my current CANADIAN passport, I HAVE:

28 DAYS stay: ENTERED Thailand 2025 January, from Sri Lanka.

- in-between: Indo, Malaysia > CANADA stay for 9 weeks + other countries.

60+30 Extension: ENTERED Thailand Sept 22, 2025 until now. Entered flying in from Canada.

So total days in Thailand in 2025 less than 120 days.

ONLY other THAI stamps are:

- 2 Thai retirement visas. Expired.

- a 30+30 Extension in 2023 Jan.

- a 60+30 Extension from Sept until Dec 2023

My past passports did have many 60+30 days stamps though.

If I don't get any positive feedback, I will probably use a visa agent for the Border run instead.

Does *proof of funds* need to be a checking/savings (cash) account, or will they accept a brokerage account? Do funds need to be seasoned?

Most of my emergency fund is in $SWVXX.

Trying to figure out if I need to move cash into checking and eat the lost interest, or if brokerage statements are acceptable.

My son applied for his DTV visa n took less than a week and has been approved. We did it by ourselves.just want to share the good news!!!

I have just been quoted 49000thb for arranging a retirement visa!!!!

Having read peoples experiences DIY I might just give it a go (as long as it's not stressful!!)

I've been in Thailand since February this year (did the 6 month extension). My previous history before getting the DTV had me stopped and questioned every single entry for a couple of years.

Just left for a week to go to Hong Kong and back. They barely even looked at me at immigration when I came back, just stamped me in and waved me on.
