So I have been in Thailand for the past few months on a standard tourist visa and am now going to apply for the dtv.

The only problem is that I have been doing some remote work during this time… and in order to get the dtv I need to send contracts of employment to prove I have been working… while my passport stamps indicate I have been in Thailand on a tourist visa….

💀💀💀

Will this be an issue or is it all forgive and forget now I am trying to do it the correct way 😅?

Somebody please let me know if they have expirienced this !

Anybody had this? 🙂

Some years in a row i stayed in Thailand with tourist visa and border runs. And some years i was here more than 180days a year 🙂 now emmigration dont like this and i want to make DTV visa 🙂

It will not be an issue? Anybody done it?

Also if somebody stayed 180+ days, dont you have any problems with tax system (becoming Thailand tax residence)? 🙂

Thanks a lot for any advices

Dear Community!

This question may has been asked and answered before but I still dare to ask again.

Usually one is not allowed to stay longer in Thailand than 180 days per calendar year. I wonder if there are any exceptions and if it really depends on the officers at the immigration.

Since I arrived on Sept. 19th, my tourist visa expires on Nov. 17th and I could usually extend for 1 more month. But this would mean, I'd stay here longer than 180 days (and could be rejected?), since Sept. 19th was not the first time I arrived in Thailand this year.

Can anyone who's been staying in Thailand for a while speak out of experience?

Well, now that I'm in Bangkok, I have an update regarding my 90 visa.

First of all, the many commentors pointing out that it was actually only a 60 visa, and I would find out once immigration stamped my passport, well they were correct.

Why did I think I had. 90 day visa? Well because I spoke with the Thai embasssy in Austrlia and was advised to apply for an e-visa and selcted 90 days as duration of stay and upload inbound and outbound flight details. Which I did.

Worst part is that it cost me AUD$300 to apply for a visa that I did not need because Australian citizens get 60 days visa exempt on arrival.

Thanks to all that commented.

Hi! I'm looking to enter Thailand during next month. Would be taking a ferry and entering from Langkawi to Koh Lipe. After this I'm planning to go to Phuket, Chiang Mai and so on. Thinking of staying in Thailand for two months.

How many days I'm allowed to stay in Thailand as a tourist (Finnish passport)? I have never entered Thailand via sea. Last entry to Thailand was around February 2023.

Thanks in advance! 😄

Hi! I want to go to Thailand for 3 months to visit my girlfriend. I’ve visited the country 3 times in the last 2 years but not for that long. What recommendations do you have regarding visa and flights?

Please let me post or kindly advise.

I am Burmese citizen. I got a job that is willing to provide me Non B visa.

But the job want me to come with tourist visa first. I applied tourist visa in Vietnam but got rejected.

My question is can I change to Non B visa if I enter the Thailand with 14 days exempt (Our nationality only got 14 days) with another extension (30 days) ?

I'm arriving in BKK on a 90 day multiple entry tourist e-visa in order to obtain a non-O retirement visa.

My question is, if asked for the purpose of my visit, do I admit this, or do I say I'm here on a holiday. Also, I'm bringing over 2 suitcases full of personal effects.

Thanks

Hi!

I'm applying for DTV in Hanoi, they requested all Thai visa I have received until present. Before I had two tourist visas - one single entry (I stayed around 3 months), one multiple entry (I stayed around 7/8 months). Has anyone's application been rejected because of staying that long?

Can do VAT refund with DTV ?,.
