Does anyone have any experience of doing a (DTV) visa run to Laos via Chiang Khong? Any issues getting stamped back in for another 180 days? Also I heard they insist on you staying at least one night in Laos correct?

This popped up in my news feed. Guess helpful for a border run with no visa cost.

Hi everyone, would like to ask your advice please.

I’m a director at Dusit Thani Dusit Thani College in Bangkok Thailands first and largest institute dedicated to hospitality education and training.

Besides international bachelor degrees in hospitality and culinary arts we also offer 2 month intensive skills based short courses under our TOP program.

While this is more designed for young talents to get trained, gain experience and get a job, the program for Professional Chef includes among other aspects 72 hours of Thai Cuisine delivered over two months. We then can arrange for a 4 month internship at a luxury hotel for those who are interested. We actually do this all under an education visa which covers the entire duration of the program.

Case in point, we would like to also utilize our program to help those who want to apply for the DTV and need a program sponsor.

Does anyone know if our program could qualify? Attached are more details for reference.

Thank you all for the kind assistance 🙏

Is it necessary to file TM 30 if I visited Bangkok for 3 days and returned to the same address as filed the in the TM 30 in Pattaya.

Hello all, would love to get in touch with anyone whose done the ED visa + guardian (non -O). I’m 34 days into my 60 day stay on multiple entry visa and about to enroll my child into an international school. Is it possible to do this visa while in Thailand or will I eventually have to to leave the country. I’m hearing it can take up to a month to process.

Probably a dumb question, but this was a thing for my previous visa —

When leaving the country, do we have to do a preemptive re-entry stamp at immigration to preserve the visa? Or since it’s multi-entry already, is such a stamp unnecessary?

Do you need a re-entry permit while on the DTV visa?

Just started my slow-traveling adventure through SE Asia at the end of October 2024 and spent 58 days in Bangkok actually sightseeing and being a tourist.

The day after Christmas I took a 16-day trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia and returned to Bangkok on January 11th, but I am leaving for Cambodia again this Sunday for a two week stay. So my stay this time in Thailand was five weeks.

Next stop is three months in Vietnam, but my original plans had me book the flight from DMK.

I'll do a border crossing back into Thailand from Siem Reap for just 1-1/2 days before flying to Da Nang. I have a confirmed hotel stay near DMK, a confirmed booking on Thai Air Asia for my flight to Dan Nang, along with a confirmed Vietnam visa.

Do you think Thai immigration will give me any issues at the land border crossing coming in from Cambodia? My travel intentions are not to do border runs or border bounces. Just happened to go back-and-forth between Thailand and Cambodia for the past four months. Any advice is appreciated.

Am I correct in assuming that if I opt for the 65,000B per month as opposed to the 800,000B option then there is no need to open up a Thai bank account.
