I have a EU passport and have visited Thailand every year since 2018 (except 2020 and 2021). Staying always 2 months. Used the 30-day visa exemption and the 30 day extension. In 2024 the 60- day exemption was enough.

This year I plan exceptionally to come twice, 2 month May- July returning to Europe for 3 weeks and then again near 3 months planning the 60 day exemption plus the 30 day extension. Always with a 2 way returning trip booked. I never imagined i could have a problem doing this, but by what i have been reading here....

Assuming the first trip will be peaceful, my question is about the problems i might find in the second (August-November).

1- When i try to get the one month extension i may be denied ?

2- Emirates (or another fly company) may denie my boarding saying i am returning in 3 months but my visa exemption just works for 2 months ?

If you feel there would be problems i would be grateful for some suggestions.

Theoretically i can try to get a DTV Visa but i was not expecting it would be necessary.

Thanks

I've totally lost track of visa-possibilities to visit thailand; i know visa-exempt on arrival is now 60 days with the possibility of extending for 30 days, and then repeating this process to lengthen your stay. My question is, can I apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from London before I fly to Thailand, and if so, what are the benefits of doing so? Thank you :-)

Normally on the shorter tourist visa, you need to show flight exiting country. Is a one way ticket into Thailand ok? It should be right, as you have 180 days to find a flight out?

I need to prolong my tourists visa for 30 days. 60 + 30

What is required beside 1900bht and my passport?

I stay in AirBnb, I did not get any paper from my host, is that a problem?

if my stay expires on 7.11, can I go there already at 25.10 or is there some maximum of days in advance you can go?

Thank you

Hello 👋🏻

I'm from France. Ihave a question concerning the mutli entry tourist visa. Is it possible to enter in Thailand, stay 2 months (with extension), get out through the border 2 times and get 2 more months (with extension) each time with the same visa ?

Thanks !

Hello, i have 2 METV Tourist Visa questions.

1.When you apply today for a METV Visa to start on 1 May 2024 and get approval in April 2024, when does the 6 months validity starts ? On 1 May or on your first entry after 1 May?

2. You get 60 days on arrival and this one you can extend for 30 days. After that you can go a week on a trip in Asia and fly back to bkk to get another 60 days. Roughly 157 days..

Say you leave again for a couple of days to Kuala Lumpur and fly back to bkk 14 days before your METV expired, you are able to get again 60 days?

This will give you about 220 days that you probably can extend again for 30 days if i'm right.

Is that correct or is this too much simplified and i understand this Visa wrong?

I'm 39 with my own business in Belgium and little bit tired of the 30 days visa exemption i get and want a visa i can get in my home country (Belgium) without having to handle much with immigration in Thailand while i stay there. Will be staying in Thailand 6 months per Year and 6 months in Belgium. I have a condo in Thailand.

Is this legally possible?

Visa Question: I have a passport from the USA. I flew into BKK, from the U.S, on December 4th, and got a 30 days Visa on arrival. Flew out of BKK to Siem Reap Cambodia on January 3rd. If I take a BUS back to Bangkok on January 18th, can I get a 30 days stamp, plus do a another 30 days extension for a total of 60 days this time?
