How often can you apply for a 3 month O visa during the course of a year? This visa is designated single entry so would it automatically be cancelled on leaving the country after less than 3 months?

For example, apply in London for the O visa, exit Thailand after a 2 month stay, then apply in London for a second O visa shortly after return to London. Many thanks for your advice,

Peter

I am currently holding a retirement visa in Thailand, valid until March next year. However, when I traveled outside of Thailand last month, I did not obtain a re-entry permit before leaving. (Yes I totally forgot) Upon my return at airport, I was granted a 60-day tourist visa instead.

At the airport, the immigration officer informed me that I could resolve this matter at the immigration office. A week after my return, I visited the immigration office in Bangkok to resolve this. There, the officer explained that my retirement visa could be validated, but my landlord would need to update my residential status in the system.

When I contacted my landlord, she informed me that this update can only be made within 24 hours of my arrival. Since more than 24 hours had passed, she is unable to update it now, as entering false information would be an offense. Without this update in the system, immigration is unable to proceed further.

Therefore, I am kindly seeking your guidance on what I should do next. Does this mean that once my 60-day tourist visa expires, I will need to leave Thailand? Or is there a way to reapply or convert to a new retirement visa within Thailand without having to leave the country? And what if I stay over and let's say I travel in December and apply for re-entry b4 I go, will I get away with it.

Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and assistance with this matter.

Hi, my son is on an ED visa and I'm on a guardian visa with NO re-entry permit. Our visa expires December. We are leaving the country for good on Saturday. Do I need to go to immigration to cancel our visas or will they cancel automatically when we leave on Saturday?

Retairement Visa: do you have to keep all the time the 800.000 bath , then 400.000 or can you withdrawl everything and deposit 800.000 the 3 month before the renewal?

HI GUYS COMING TO PATTAYA WITH UK PASSPORT IN JANUARY 2026 FOR 57 DAYS DO I NEED A VISA ENTRY ? LAST YEAR DIDNT NEED ONE.

Hi gurus,

I have an OA retirement visa which is valid till 13 March 2026 but my insurance & my entry stamp only give me till 20 November 2025 when my insurance expires. I am exiting the country for a few weeks in November, will renew my insurance, and come back in to Thailand on 23 November 2025. I understand that this will give me another year stamp based on the expiry of my insurance, so in effect, till November 2026. If I want to leave the country again in April 2026 for a few weeks, I believe I will need to get a re-entry permit, but will I be stamped back in till the end of my insurance (November 2026), or how will it work based on that my "visa" only gives me till March 2026? I am a little confused and would appreciate your advice, thanks.

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if a network marketing business qualifies for DTV? Thanks.

Has anyone done a border run to Laos from Pattaya for a new DTV stamp? Also open to trusted agencies in Bangkok.

Had a wild ride on my last flight out and want to try a border run. Any suggestions for fair agencies, that don’t overcharge for DTV, would be appreciated. Fine with sightseeing in Laos for a couple days.

Please, no miserable commenters. You’re in Thailand. Cheer up!

Hi all, this one’s for folks who have acquired their DTV via an agency. Once approved was the DTV E-visa sent to your agencies person of contact email id and then forwarded to you by them? Or did you receive it on your personal email id directly from the embassy.

If someone could relay their DTV experience in applying with an agency and getting it done successfully, it would be super helpful to know the precise steps and order it went for you.
