Do I need a return ticket or out of Thailand flight to travel to Thailand? I saw this requirement for 90 visa, but I don’t know how long I will stay in Thailand and where I go next, Bali or Vietnam or Philippines, if I just order a one way ticket, am I allowed to enter Thailand? I am from America.

Hi everyone.

I applied for the tourist visa on Friday evening, and my flight is on 21st. In case I don't get it on time, can I get the visa on arrival instead, stay for 2 weeks and then exit and re-enter with the tourist one I'm yet to receive?

Thank you in advance and have a lovely day ahead! 🌸

I am traveling to Thailand on the 25/4/25 to 25/5/25 so 30 days in total,I'm a UK citizen, do I need a visa? , some say I do and some say I don't ? Who's right? . Thank you for any advice.

We are a British couple (over 50) who have taken early retirement and are considering relocating to Koh Samui.

We currently live in Northern Cyprus so do not have access to a Thai Embassy/Consulate in order to apply in person for a 90 non immigrant O visa prior to arriving in Thailand.

I have looked at the Thai E-Visa website to try to apply online but I cannot see this visa type as an option (just a long stay OA visa or a Tourist visa).

My question is if we arrive on an initial 60 day Tourist visa will I be able to open a bank account with this visa type, in order to then meet the financial requirements to apply in Koh Samui for the non immigrant O visa, and subsequent extension?

Recently married to my Thai partner...🙏. Registered etc in Thailand.👍

Looking at a Partner Visa to Australia, she has been twice on a tourist visa but I feel she is not ready for settling here, Australia is not good, will miss her family, food, culture etc (she is 44)... I want out, plus the process is fkn expensive.

I feel it is better that I move over there (I'm 54). Work in Western Australia, mining (for years) and feel that I'm better to continue this from a financial perspective. What is my best option? What is the best visa I should go for? I would need, probably need 1 month work in Australia, 1 month in Thailand...and that good vary....could be 3 weeks of work, 6 weeks in Thailand...

Look forward to anyone who does this, has experience in this situation...🙏

I have a question I was on Thai e visa on a tourist visa it’s asking multiple entry or single entry I plan to go in May to Thailand and again in September but in September I’m staying for as long as I can stay what’s the best visa I should be applying for thank you for the advice

Hey all!

I’m planning on moving to Thailand permanently from the US in 2-3 months and starting to think about which visa is the best to get.

I’ve been thinking about the Education Visa. Has anybody here done that? I heard it’s possible they might not let me extend it to a different visa after that year is up. True/false?

DTV visa - pros/cons?

Retirement visa - I am not pulling social security yet so I don’t have passive income. Is this still even an option? (I’m 50 years old.)

Tourist visa runs every 60/90 days. Is this really sustainable over years?

Thank you so much for any insight!

hello, I have a question about the process to get a retirement extension. I have been living here since 2016 on retirement extensions, but have been helping a new guy, who now has had two agencies tell him he needs an education visa which three months down the road can then be turned into a retirement extension. problem is they both want a total of +- 60K baht.

it is still possible to get a 90 day tourist visa (from outside the country, online), then request an extension? are the visa agencies just not offering this because they can charge more for the education visa route? or has this avenue been closed?

also, my friend also was turned down by two banks yesterday for an account, are there still banks who will open an account for a new person with a residency certificate?

so, the questions:

1. can you still go the 90 day tourist visa route to get a retirement extension?

2. will banks still open accounts, and you just need to find the one that will?

thanks for your input!

Using the 60 days free visa without extensions please can you tell me how long we can stay in a year? And how long we have to wait in our country before returning to Thailand? I can't understand, there is nothing precise or written

Is a DTV sufficient to open a bank account…..
