Hi, i m on a non migrant b visa whici i need to change in a tourist visa. I am in chiang rai. What s the best way to do it ? Some people say i can just go to a border and come back ? How much is it ? How long does it take ?

Thank you for helping.

Hey guys, my return flight to Ireland is Monday 3rd of Feb, I’ve changed my mind last minute and want to stay another 30 days, I’ll have a 3 day overstay by the time Monday comes, I’ve no idea how it works..will the immigration office in Bangkok let me extend my time? Afraid I’ll be declined and end up missing out on my flight back

I am looking for a bit of advice. My wife and I would like to spend regular periods of up to 5 months in Thailand (probably once a year). I understand that there is a 6 month visa, which one can apply for in advace of a visit, but it is only possible to stay for up to 60 days at a time on this visa, i.e. it is necessary to leave Thailand twice during a 5/6 month stay. I also understand that the on arrival tourist visa of 60 days can be extended once by a further 30 days at the immigration office. My question is if we take the on arrival trourist visa, extend it by 30 days and leave the country for a few days just before the 90 days expire, can we come back into the country and obtain another on arrival tourist visa of 60 days? If so, are there limitations on this?

Best way to achieve a 6 or 9 month Visa/Stay in Thailand taking in other countries.

Question.

I have a DTV visa valid until 2030. I entered Thailand in December 2024 on a 60 day tourist visa (my DTV had been applied for several weeks before, but not yet issued).

The 60 visa stamp in my passport expires soon, but the paper printout DTV is of course still valid.

I am due to fly out of Thailand in about 2 weeks time.

Do I need to do anything?

Will the expired visa in my passport cause an issue or will it be covered by my e-visa?

Thanks in advance

Hey I'm from the UK and hoping to go to Thailand on the dtv visa. I plan on taking my partner and 2 young children with me on the visa. Can anyone please give me an idea of how much I will need in my bank account to cover all 4 of us? I'm getting mixed messages on Google... Thankyou 🙂

No we are not married but we have two children together and both our names are on the birth certificate so I thought this would be enough to satisfy them that we are together with children but not married. We were all born in the UK yes.

We plan on staying out there a while, not just for a holiday.

Can I apply for the visa first, then once it is accepted can I then transfer the £12,000 into his bank account? Or would this just be too obvious on his bank statements? I don't understand why I can't just sponser all 3 of them whilst we are out there as I will be the one working online? I don't understand why we all need £12,000 in the bank for this.... It doesn't make sense for most travelling nomad families to have over £25000 in savings....but makes sense for them to have a small cushion and means to support themselves whilst living there. I was also considering putting my eldest (6) into an international school, would this make any difference?

It does say also that although the visa is valid for 5 years, we would have to leave after 180 days anyway and come back in?

Would it just be easier for us to get no visa initially for a month, get a tourist visa and then boarder run and repeat? How long would this work for?

Thanks 🙏

Hi I'm from Australia Im arriving next month no problem still can get stamp on Arrival 60 days, staying 5 weeks thankyou

I applied for DTV from the embassy in KotaBharu Malaysia and it has not been approved since January 12. I have been calling the embassy for the last 3 days and they give me the same answer every day "It will be approved today" Now I want to go back to Thailand. Has this happened to anyone before?

Hi everyone! I need advice can someone help me answer this please. If I’m planning to move to Thailand in June with my 2 small children should I obtain a visa now or once I arrive? And what visa do my kids need?

I would like to teach English but I don’t have a bachelor degree only a TEFL Certificate. I’m not sure if I should go for a work visa or Educational visa. 🤷🏽‍♀️

And lastly, should I book a one way ticket if I plan to stay long term.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks in advance!!!
