Can you apply for a DTV under soft power for music instrument studies at a non- degree school in Thailand? If so how long should the course/class/lessons be listed as (8 months, 1 year etc)? Or strictly music festivals? Thank you in advance.

Quick question, I'm arriving in bkk 1st of December and plan to stay until the 1st of June. This is my second entry on dtv. Ive been home for 6 months. My passport is in date until August 2026. Is my passport ok for this trip? Thx

Hi,

I entered Thailand for the first time on 1/10/2025 and received a 60 days stay. I haven’t done any extensions or visa runs yet. I would like to stay in Thailand until 1/18/2026, so I’m planning to do a visa run until 28/11/2025 to get another 60 days.

I booked a border run with a local agency, but they told me they can’t process the visa run at the original border (Chiang Khong) due to stricter regulations. They suggested a different border, but the situation feels a bit uncertain. I’m considering whether it might be simpler to book a same- ay return flight to Malaysia instead.

Given the current circumstances, which option would be better? I hold a Hungarian passport.

Hello, seeking for advice. My Boyfriend just got his DTV approved and he's going to stay at my house in Bangkok on his first arrival using DTV entry. Do I have to do TM30?

Thank you in advance.

Hey folks! I've seen the recent visa info floating around from various sources, but one thing I've not seen verified is that land border visa runs are no longer allowed. I'm not sure which of the following is the case...

-With a DTV, you can leave by land for a week and come back by land (at the discretion of the visa officer) - yay or nay?

-With a tourist visa or visa waiver, you can leave by land for a week and come back by land (at the discretion of the visa officer) - yay or nay?

Or, is it that all visa classes MUST enter by air if they're coming back a few days or a week or two after leaving by land?

If anyone can link to an actual source that speaks to this, it would be great. Some border run companies said that land border run is no longer allowed, but the official announcements didn't say that, so it's unclear whether that particular part was a temporary measure or not. I'd love to see some sources (not just commenters, but actual sources ;)) that address this point. Thanks!

Hi there a friend of mine from Honduras has a ticked for Monday 7 am from Mumbai to Bangkok Thailand, she has not yet received her visa but a bit nervous because if she does not have by then, she will not be able to board the plane to Bangkok, is there a way to get any customer service or emergency visa over the weekend ?

Thank you in advance for any responses

Can I get a multiple entry tourist visa for a 60 day visit in January and return in May. Then do the same in October and January ?I’ll be traveling to and fro from the UK. Can this be done each year? Looking at just under the 6 months in Thailand each year.

What happens with soft power after you finish the course?

Can you go out and back again the following year without a booked class?

Do they question you?

UK Visa free entry to DTV

Hi

I am flying to Thailand in January and plan to arrive using my 60 days free entry (tourist)

&& then flying out to apply for my DTV after the 60 days (might even extend to 90)

I have already asked if that’s ok and everyone replied yes, BUT when it comes to my application isn’t it going to flag that I have been working when I was in Thailand (on my tourist visa). As my invoices for my application will be within January-March

Will that show me breaking my tourist visa rules! ?

Hi all, with the 90 check in I know your first time has to be in person which I did, then in August o left and came back now I have to do my check in again but it got rejected online, do I have to go to in person again everytime I leave? And come back?
