A foreign tourist has warned travellers after being denied entry at Thailand’s Don Mueang Airport for insufficient funds. Immigration officers enforced the regulation requiring visitors to prove they possess at least 20,000 baht upon arrival.

The traveller claimed she was unaware of the rule and was refused permission to withdraw cash from an ATM. She expressed frustration at the lack of clear guidance and was told to attempt entry through a different airport.

Thai authorities confirm that proof of financial means is a mandatory requirement, though enforcement remains discretionary. Tourists are advised to ensure they carry adequate funds or documentation to prevent border issues.

Hello everyone. My partner is British, he’s 73 years old. He’s entered Thailand on 15 November by Multiple tourist visa apply in Uk which will expire on 14 January. He would like to live in Thailand for 6 months.

Question!

Should he extend tourist visa on 10 January? So he can live 1 month and Then he fly to Singapore for 7 days on 14 February. He fly back to Thailand. So he can stay in Thailand 60 days?.

Or on 10 January he fly to Singapore and apply for non o visa then fly back to Thailand so he can stay 90 days?.

He booked the flight back to uk on 15 May 2026.

He got 2 strokes which is difficult for him to walk.

Many thanks.

Hi everyone, I need clarification about the flight requirement for the DTV visa.

I already booked a 7-day round-trip ticket to Thailand for my upcoming trip.

Some people say that for the DTV application, I must show an onward/exit flight 90 days after my arrival, not earlier.

Is this true?

Do I really need to provide a flight booking that is more than 90 days away,

or is my current 7-day round-trip ticket acceptable for the DTV pre-approval?

Has anyone successfully applied with a short-term return ticket (like 1 week or 10 days)?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry to ask the perennial boring question..Each year I do 90 day session..60 free stamp plus extension at KP office.. Is that OK?

Need I say anything?

Hello!

I’m from the UK and wanting to apply for a DTV at the beginning of 2026. I’ve been doing lots of research online but figured it’s best to ask people who have experienced the application process themselves so I’m 100% sure on what to do.

The DTV stands for 5 years, whilst living in Thailand, do you have to visit the embassy every 6 months or do you have to leave the country every 6 months and then re-enter? Can you also be denied re-entry at any time?

I know you need 500K THB when applying, do you need to keep this balance in your account at all times so they can check you still have this much money when you get re-checked every 6 months?

Any answers/advice to the above questions would be super helpful, thank you so much in advance😊

Also, feel free to DM me, I’m up to have conversations with people about their DTV experience!

Will my multiple entry tourist visa get invalid if I didn’t do re entry visa when I fly out of Thailand?

Hi. I need to do DTV 90day report beginning of January for me, my husband and two babies. We are staying near central world in Bangkok. I was told by an agent that it takes about 2-4 hours depending on how many people are there. The address I was given is like 55 minutes from where I stay by car. I was also told my husband and I have to go but two babies don’t have to we just need to explain why they aren’t there. Can anyone help confirm if any of this is true or false info. I would prefer to leave my babies at home if it’s possible. Or is there an agent who can go and do it for my family?

Hi everyone, I have a DTV and I’m going to leave Thailand for the first time. Before leaving, do I need to go to immigration to apply for a re-entry permit? Or do you just exit normally like a tourist?

If I start a application for non-o evisa in Vientiane how many weeks I have to send the complete application?...is it 2 or 4 weeks?

Thanks!
