I wanted to apply for Japan tourist visa in Thailand, according to Japan embassy they said I need to have long term. Is DTV considered Long term? I already asked them via email but their answer is just „If you have Thai long-term visa and re-entry, you reach visa application regulation. please visit

Maybe someone can help

Hi .. I have been coming in to Thailand on a visa exempt ( 60 days) . Each time , my stay duration is from a week to 45 days . Never overstayed . I will be applying for a non O ( 3 months + 12 ) and bank account using an agency in Bangkok the next time I fly into Thailand . However , that would be my 7 visa exempt entry this year , and slightly less than 180 days in total . I was told I would not be allowed in . Can anyone confirm this? I have also bought return tickets which i won’t be using once my non O is finalized . Can someone who has experienced going into Thailand more than 6 times in a year , tell me their experience and how I should deal with it .

Stamp on DTV visa looks incorrect.

I arrived on July 16, 2025 on a DTV visa. The stamp expiry in my passport is November 11, 2026?

With a DTV it’s 180 days at a time and the DTV visa is valid 5 years, so the stamp confuses me and I’m concerned it will affect my 90 day reporting.

Also, if there are any agencies that offer 90-day reporting service, let me know. Might be smoother if stamp is incorrect.

I am currently in Thailand on a non o-a visa through Jan 2026. Instead of renewing that in January I would like to get a non o visa. I was told at immigration that my options are to leave the country and return on a tourist visa and then apply for the non o, or leave the country and get the non o while out of the country. How difficult/quick would it be to get the non o in one of the nearby countries? I suspect it wouldn't be very quick. I got my non o-a visa totally online prior to coming to Thailand so maybe that's an option? The reason I'd like to come in on the non o is that I was told that the 800k bank funding has to be from an international transfer if I get the visa in country but if I come in with the visa already the bank funding can be from any source (existing money for example. That's not too big of a deal but wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions. Thanks!

I submitted the TM30 online a month ago. However, the website says you can only pull up the forms for 7 days after submission. How does one get a copy for 90 day reporting?

Can someone who has been through the process explain more about the soft visa activities?

Where would I find more information about them and the courses? Would it apply to children as well or can they be attached to the parent visa?

Applying for my DTV visa soon. Currently in Bangkok, but planning on flying to Vietnam in 2 weeks when my tourist visa expires. Has anyone been to vietnam applied for the visa then left to another country? I want to visit Malaysia while im waiting or should i wait until I hear back?

Is the 60-day visa free period for certain nationalities to enter Thailand been reversed again to 30 days or not yet?? Thankyou

Hi. Do I need to do a 90-day report if I am leaving the country in just one week? I'm on a DTV. I did my first 90-day report in person, but since I did it a few days early, I was given a second 90-day report date that is one week before my DTV stay-permit expires. Just now, I tried to do the 90-day report online but it was rejected for some reason. Do I really have to make this report if it's just for 7 more days? I will be departing by train next week, the day my stay-permit expires. Thanks.

My Wise transfer deposits (using Funds for Long Term Stay method) from Canada to Kasikorn Bank show this in my bank statement......

Does this indicate International deposit ??
