Arriving on December 27th for my 4th visit on visa waiver from USA since February 2025. I am planning to take girlfriend to Japan for a week during my one month stay. I have never extended during any stay and am looking at 80 days in Thailand this year up to this point. Does anyone have good information regarding if this travel will be frowned upon or outright denied now that the crackdown is happening?

Thank you!

I'm traveling several times starting on December 31st. Going to Thailand a total of 3 times until March and then 1 more in June. Never stay more than 60 days. I had written to the embassy in Berlin whether I needed a visa. They wrote back quickly with the recommendation, for the 2. Entry to apply for a visa.

Now I have requested a tourist multi for 175 euros. The first application was cancelled because I must have set a hook wrong, I provided travel document and not passport. I thought travel was the passport.

Then I have the 2. Request submitted. Verified again 175 euros via Mastercard.

Now 2x175 Euros were marked down on the Mastercard. There is hope that the the the for the 1st Withdraw my application, because I didn't get a visa?

If not, that would be really sh.... expensive. Especially if it wasn't really necessary, as I hear from others here.lg

Ich reise ja mehrfach ab 31.12. nach Thailand ein insgesamt 3x bis März und dann noch 1x im Juni. Bleibe nie länger als 60 Tage. Ich hatte die Botschaft in Berlin angeschrieben, ob ich ein Visa brauche. Sie schrieben schnell zurück mit der Empfehlung, für die 2. Einreise ein Visa zu beantragen.

Nun habe ich ein Tourist Multi für 175 Euro beantragt. Der erste Antrag wurde gecancelt, da ich wohl einen Haken falsch gesetzt hab, ich habe travel document und nicht Passport angegeben. Ich dachte Travel wäre der Reisepass.

Dann habe ich den 2. Antrag gestellt. Wieder 175 Euro per Mastercard verifiziert.

Nun wurden auf der Mastercard 2x175 Euro vorgemerkt. Besteht die Hoffnung, dass die die für den 1.Antrag zurückziehen, denn ich hab ja kein Visa bekommen?

Wenn nein wäre das ja echt sch.... teuer. Vor allem, wenn es eigentlich nicht nötig wäre, wie ich von anderen hier höre.lg

Hi guys, looking for some advice. I applied for a DTV (Soft Power – cooking class) visa through the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur (I’m Malaysian and was back for other errands). The embassy got back this morning and approved all my documents except the acceptance letter from my cooking school, stating that it must be an *official acceptance letter issued by the Thai government*.

I contacted my cooking school, but they said they are a private institution (so are other cooking schools?) and can only provide standard documents (payment receipt, enrollment confirmation, school profile, registration certificate, owner’s ID, etc.). At this point, they’ve already enrolled several DTV students, presumably approved through other embassies. This requirement didn’t seem to exist before, so I’m wondering if it’s a new or embassy-specific rule.

What would you suggest I do in this case? I’d prefer not to reapply through another embassy if this is now a general requirement, especially given the high visa fee. Has anyone faced a similar situation?

Hello,

I hold an Italian passport. I work remotely (self employed).

I want to become a TAX resident in Thailand. What's the easiest / fastest way to go about this.

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question.

I'm planning to apply DTV visa from Singapore.

I got one issue that the resident address in the bank statement differ with current address, is it any issue and need to change the address before apply it?

Actually, I forgot to change my current address in my bank.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

As an LTD company owner that works freelance for UK companies for a couple weeks to a couple month at a time in the UK, would a DTV be suitable to live in Thailand and travel back to the UK 2 or 3 times a year for work.

For clarity, while in Thailand there would be no working, not remotely online other than administration stuff, diary and accounts etc, all the actual freelancing would take place in the UK and payment would be received into UK banks, taxes paid to HMRC etc.

If not, what Visa solution would you suggest?

Good evening all,

A 90 day report question:

What happens if one forgets to do the 90 day report on a Non-O retirement visa? (Finnish nationality, if that matters...)

Can it be done late (how late?) and does it cost something and if so, how much?

I have heard somewhere that the 90 day report is not even so important and nothing happens if one does not do it but that sounds "a bitt" strange to me...

Thanks in advance 👍

Hello

I try to apply for a Soft Power Muay Thai Visa.

I have to fill out the lenght of my stay, which I dont know yet for sure. The Gym made me the letter for 1 year, but I wont stay that long. Just about 3-5 months.

Thank you for your help

Hi everyone, asking for a friend on the basis of visa exempt. Free 60 days and they want to extend for the 30. If they go to immigration let’s say a week before the full 60 is up, does the extension start from the time they go to the office or the time that the 60 days will expire? I remember it being when you go to the office, but reading mixed results online. Thank you!

Have anyone had experience cancelling DTV at embassy in Vientiane, Laos?

Do we need to do to Vientiane or can be done online by email?

My DTV was issued with stamp on my passport(not e-visa).
