Can anybody tell me do you need a return flight booked for your arrival visa ?

Hi, I have a question about the visa exemption. I have a UK passport. I'm planning to travel to Bangkok and I expect I'll receive a 60 day visa exemption stamp on entry. I'll only be staying in Thailand for 1 or 2 days, then I'll go to Indonesia for 2 weeks. After that I'll return to Bangkok to stay longer. Can I expect to receive another 60 day visa exemption stamp when I come back from Indonesia? Thank you for your help.

My husband and I just applied for the online tourist visa. We are coming in 2 weeks for a 1 week vacation. They rejected our visas because the pictures I uploaded weren’t good enough. It was a huge pain in the butt. My question is can we just show up with our documents and get in? We are from the US and paid the $40 each already

Hello all,

I’m in need of some advice…

In the past I’ve never had any issues or questions asked about my travels in Thailand.

Pretty much all of my time has been spent in Koh Tao diving.

In 2016 I had a non-immigrant B visa but eventually sold my share in the company and went back home. The rest of my travels have been on Tourist visa’s or visa on arrival(exemption).

Most recently I did two border crossings in Ranong to Myanmar and back in december 2023 and then march 2024 and left the country in april 2024.

Last week I re-entered Thailand with a new tourist visa which was granted to me by Thai Embassy in my home country. Upon arrival the IO asked me questions about why I’m here and when I’m leaving. ( I was in Transit on Bangkok International airport with connection to Samui) My answer was here for vacation and I’m not sure yet when I will leave. He then looked at my passport which was brand new with no stamps but saw in his computer that I’ve done two border-runs and asked me: you think is okay you go to Burma for 1 day and come back same day? You think this is normal. I didn’t know what to answer him but he took me to another IO and she was a bit more understanding. She told me I had to get a DTV visa if I want to stay longer time in Thailand and I explained to her that I’m not here for any cultural soft power activities. I had to book my outbound flight on the spot for when my 60 days are up. She said next time better for you to have a DTV when coming to Thailand.

My questions are:

- Do you think I’m marked or blacklisted in the system?

- Will IO in Koh Tao allow me to extend with 30 days and will they see the information about my booked outbound flight?

- Where would I best go abroad to after my 60 or 90 days to apply for DTV visa?

Anyone has similar experiences?

Thank you kap.

Hello all I was in Thailand for two months last year. . I was there again this year for seven weeks. I am going back in February next year for possibly three months. When I'm there I am continuing with dental treatment I had in June July this year.

What is the best way to do this please for three months stay. Do I simply extend for an extra 30 days at my local immigration office in Hua Hin?

🙏🏻

Note to Trolls.

Yes I have googled it. Thanks👍🏻

Well my tourist visa runs out on the 26th september.Got flight to the UK,but nowhere to go.

Done my 60 days arrival stamp ,then 30 day stamp at immigration and then went to laos and got another 60 days and then again immigration for another 30 =180.

My question is if I left thailand to go to laos for say 3 days will I be allowed back in thailand?

Just yes or no would be good.

O yes I have a street food shop and property with my thai girlfriend.

I just received my non O retirement visa. But i arrived on 60 days tourist stamp. When I can convert to non O one year retirement stamp?

I’m looking for reliable agent to help renew my Thai drivers license in bangkok area. I was just told by the Nonthaburi immigration office that they will no longer provide a letter of residency to travelers here on tourist visas even though i have had a condo here for 2 years . No scammers Bangkok area

Good morning everyone,

I have a question since it would be my first time trying this: without a visa, would it be possible to stay in Thailand for around 6 months by applying for extensions and doing one exit?

In the past, I always used a multiple-entry visa to be on the safe side, but in the end the longest I actually managed to stay was just under 7 months.

Has anyone here already tried this?

And one more thing: is it possible to apply for 2 extensions, or only one per calendar year?

Thanks a lot for any advice!

Hello Everyone, currently i am in thailand as a tourist. And since applying for DTV visa from inside thailand is not allowed.

Can i go to Malaysia and apply from there ? Did anyone had similar situation ?
