Just a bit confused by visa requirements and a bit of friendly advice would be appreciated, I am the original dinosaur.

I am looking at coming to Thailand towards the end of October and staying until some time in April.

I think that the 6 month tourist, Multiple Entry is probably the Visa I require?

My main issue with this is, it looks like you need to leave the country every 60 days, so I would need to do a border run twice to be able to stay for the nearly 6 months, is this correct?

If there is a better visa, or way of doing it, your advice would be appreciated.

Have a good day x

I usually use just the passport.Visa exempt stamp in my passport and then I go out of the country every sixty days and I have had no problems. This trip I have a tourist Visa which is valid until October multiple entries.And at the end of the two months I went to laos and when I came back to don muang i was pulled aside and taken to an area where they looked at my history of traveling. They made me show them my Visa. My bank accounts in America how much money I had on my hotel reservation, My return ticket to America which is in October and also I had to get my girlfriend's I.D picture and show them that. So after all that they did allow me entry but they said if I try to do a two month exit and come back again they will possibly ban me from coming to thailand. I thought the tourist Visa would not be a problem.So what everyone has been saying about it becoming more difficult to come back into thailand after short exits is true. As of today I will be leaving one month before my return ticket date. I may go to the immigration office and try to apply for an extension and see.I have the same problem.I did at the airport. Anybody have a suggestion on that?

We have a question. Maybe someone can help. We will be in Thailand in 2 weeks under a tourist visa. We will be doing the 30 day extension. We are renting a villa for a year. We want to get the retirement visa or the non O immigrant visa. What do we need to do before we get there and once we get there? How do we go about getting the visa? Any advice is helpful.

We are coming in 2 weeks to Hua hin Thailand. We are renting a villa for a year starting out when we get there. We will be on a tourist visa with 30 days extension. We will be going to immigration to talk to them about getting the retirement visa or the Non immigrant O visa. Does anybody have any advice or think we should do something different?

I am on my ED visa 15 months.

End of this month it gonna expire.

My job is busy make papers for new visa I am not sure or they will be on time before my ED running out.

If its not. Do I have other options instead of leave Thailand to get some more time for the visa they are preparing for me?

Maybe tourist visa or something like that?

can anyone recommend me a 90 day report visa agency in chiang mai?

Doing dtv visa in KL, Malaysia. My tourist visa is going to expire soon and the process is taking a long time. I am a bit worried about my stay here. Any advice?

I’m a US citizen planning on traveling to Thailand in September on my third visa exemption in 2025. I was reading someone getting denied and sent back home doing this recently. My plan was to go onward to Vietnam after a month in Thailand and apply for the DTV in HCMC. Has anyone else heard of someone getting denied on their third visa exemption entry by air? Lastly I wanted to set up a condo to rent while I am there on the tourist visa to come back to after hopefully getting approved for the DTV in Vietnam, any advice on this?

Can i change tourist visa to retirement visa.
