I’m planning to come to Thailand in January. Should I come on a tourist visa I get here or should I come without a visa and then try to extend it to 90 days? My plan is to turn my visa into a long-term marriage visa without having to leave the country in doing sois this possible?

Hi, I found out I can’t convert my tourism visa to a o visa, I want to go to Laos to go to the Thai embassy, when I go to the website in Laos to make the appointment to meet like the website says to do, the website provided comes up blank? Does anyone know how to make your appointment at Thai Embassy in Laos how I can do that

I am 53 and planning to move with my fiancé to Hua Hin from the USA in March 2026. Originally we were advised to wait until then because he turns 50 on Feb 28, that we should enter on tourist visas and apply for the non-O when we get there, and that we shouldn’t worry about being married or not.

But now, I’ve been told that we should get married and apply for the non-O before he turns 50 because he would qualify as my dependent. (I still am not sure about when/where to apply for the visa.)

Recommendations? Thanks!

I am applying for a DTV visa and just wondering if after 2 years l want to change visa type is that possible to do in Thailand.

Hello everyone. I have a question. We are a family of three. My wife has had her DTV visa since early July. My daughter and I have applied for accompanying DTV visas. We are leaving on August 12 but still haven’t received a response regarding the visas. Can we enter the country with tourist visas and then, once we get the response for the DTV visas, leave and re-enter with the accompanying DTV visas?

Thank you.🙏

Question:

I am not sure what I will need or not need but here is the scenario.

USA Citizen

I was in Thailand from middle February to end of April.

I am coming back next Tuesday and plan to stay until Dec, 18th give or take.

I booked an onward flight to Cambodia in early October for a week with a return flight to Thailand until December with a exit flight to the USA

I know I get a 60-day tourist visa exempt upon arrival the first time. Will, what or should I get some kind of other visa for my stay?

I need some guidance here

I am a US citizen, flying in from Europe. I want to stay in Thailand for 6-8 weeks starting month.

I know the visas keep changing.

Do US passport holders still get 60 days on entry or 30? How is it working these days? If it is 30 days how can I extend?

I was in Thailand from September 2024 to middle of January 2025. I’m not sure if that will be a problem. And i was there during covid.

Seeing if there is anything I should know before coming back next month (September)

hello to all

I would like to get a multiple tourist visa (TRM) for mid-October, but I will arrive directly from Japan and on the website of the embassy of Thailand, they indicate that to get the TRM, you need to reserve a ticket from France.... Has anyone ever experienced this situation? What should I do ?

Thanking you for your help... 😀

Bonjour à tous

je souhaiterai obtenir un visa touristique multiple (TR M) pour mi-octobre, mais j'arriverai directement du Japon et sur le site de l'ambassade de Thaïlande, ils indiquent que pour obtenir le TRM, il faut la réservation d'un billet au départ de la France.... Quelqu'un à déjà connu cette situation ? Que dois-je faire ?

En vous remerciant pour votre aide....😀

Hello : )

Have 2 questions needing clarification:

(1) Is it possible to apply for a Tourist Visa whilst in Thailand?

Reason is the 2nd 60-day exemption+30 extension is about to expire.

(2) Any instructions/info on how to catch train/bus from Bangkok to Chong Mek/Vang Tao (Laos Border).

(a) can buy/pay at the ticket office or require advance reservation?

Thank you.

I have a request, I am in Thailand I was told I could convert a tourist visa into a non O visa, went to immigration in Nakhon Sawan to ask l, they would not help or tell me what steps I need to take, I am wanting to end up with a retirement visa as soon as I can. Any good advice would be appreciated, I’m sorry I do not have a bank account in my name, I have proof of residency, I believe I was given bad information from someone already living here, he said I should just come over on a tourist visa and change it to a non O visa once I arrived, now I am finding out I should had just applied when I was home and came in like everyone is saying Thanks
