Hello, I plan to go to Vietnam in the 10th month of my first year on a non-immigrant OA visa. I will stay in Vietnam for 3 months. When I cross back into Thailand, will my visa expire? Or will it be renewed for a second year? Thank you.

I entered Thailand on non immigrant o visa for 90 days and leave on March 4 2026. When can I come back into Thailand on a new non immigrant o visa in 2026

Did anyone enter Thailand recently for the third time in 2025 on a visa exemption ?

Thank you !

Hi to all of you!

I have a question concerning the new rules with visa exempt and visa extension.

If I understand well we can technically obtain 2 visa exempt in a calendar year and for the first exempt a 30 days extension and for the second visa exempt a possible 7 days extension.

Now, if I arrived in october 17 and got a 30 days visa extension until january 14:

1- if I go for a border run I should have an other visa exempt;

2- for the visa extension will I have only a possible 7 days extension or because I will be in a new calendar year I would be able to get a 30 days extension.

Also I'm flying back in Canada on april 15 which gave me a 6 months trip.

If I can't get an other 30 days extension I will simply spend a month or in Laos or in Malaysia and come back for the 2 last months of my 6 months trip in Thailand.

I'm 71 years old and spending 6 months a year out of Canada is good enough for me.

And yes next time I will probably apply for a MEV (multi entry visa).

Thanks to all and please if you got nothing positive or usefull about my case I just rather hear nothing from you.

Thanks again!

Update: OK group. I got it. No need for more comments on this one. THANK YOU ALL for your comments and help.

Hi Guys,

Quick question: I arrived in Thailand with a non imm O visa and then applied for my retirement visa. Now the 90 day starts from the arrival date or from the date of my retirement visa stamp? Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone!

I applied for tourist visa and paid.

Now they ask me why i do that, since im from Spain i dont need visa. I did because i was already in Thailand 2 times this year...

I guess i will not have the money back? Thanks

I’m on a 60 day tourist visa. I had a visa in May, and extended it for 30 days. My question is can I get an extension on my current visa under the new rules, and what are my options if I want to stay in Thailand if I can’t extend the current tourist visa?

I am currently on a non-O work visa as a teacher, and I have resigned. My visa  well go back to tourist and I am leaving the country in December and returning on a tourist visa. My plan is to move out of the country in May. Here is my question. I will be traveling  to Sri Lanka just shy of my 60 days back in the country. Then I will be back in the country until 11 April and out for a few days in Cambodia, then back here for about 30 days  before I leave for good.  I am worried about the two entry rules. Should I do an extension on my first tourist visa right before I leave for Sri Lanka and then come back in on a 60 day visa, and then still be able to return from Cambodia on a tourist visa before I leave for good? I hope this makes sense. 😂

Hi Everyone! This is my first post and have been reading others and researching online for the answer, but I wanted to confirm with the group on my upcoming trip.

I’m planning a trip to Thailand and planning on staying 75 days (I have an exit flight booked). I understand that I can stay 60 days without applying for a visa, but I need the extension to complete my trip.

I’ve read that you apply for the extension when you arrive (I can’t apply for extension in advance 😔), so my question is, will I do this at the airport knowing my departure fight or do I have to wait until it is close to expiration and go to an immigration office? Or would I have to do a border run? I would want to avoid the later.

Has anyone canceled a DTV then to apply for a business visa with work permit? My Thai friend wants to hire and partner with me for a position and is offering a work permit.
