Feeling nervous. Applied for a two week tourist eVisa 11 days ago. Return tickets already purchased (as required prior to visa application). Due to fly Sunday morning. But the application is still pending. Does the immigration give approvals on weekends? Or am I better off trying to reschedule my flights?

Hey, does anyone know if Iranian nationals who have a 60-day tourist visa can (like most other nationalities) extend it by another 30 days at the immigration office? Having trouble finding this info. For a friend. Since they have to jump through more hoops than the rest of us to get visas, wondering if the 60 days is in fact strict 60 days only for them. Thanks!

Is it planned to be more easy to apply for the DTV e.g. without leaving Thailand? Why is it not even possible now? And yeah I know it's a new visa and not fully developed yet, but damn... I can't be the only one who finds that super exhausting. You can even apply for the funny ED Visa within Thailand.

How many days before my return ticket OR end of my visa, I should be in immigration for one month extension?

Hi come to Thailand 1st dec is it still 60 day visa on arrival from uk or do I need to get my tourist visa online thanks

Hi all, looking for advice regarding dtv visa, my husband does qualify but our home country NZ wants to charge 40,000 baht for each application so we are looking at other countries to apply through. We are currently in Thailand but will be heading to Penang Malaysia end of the month for a few months, anybody gotten there dtv visa while being a tourist in Malaysia? Thanks for your replies.

Thanks in advance for your advice everyone!

So I’m not looking to stay in Thailand long term, at least not yet - I’m just figuring out my extension option so I can stay until my lease ends Jan 14 and complete 3 months here.

My current 60 day visa on arrival ends Dec 6. I could do the 30 day extension for 1,900 baht until Jan 6 but that leaves me with 8 days and I’d like to have a bit more flexibility to stay until the end of my lease.

So it seems I’m left with either the border run to Laos option which appears to cost roughly 6,300 - OR I could also fly roundtrip to visit friends in Malaysia for 5,500. But that also assumes that doing the border run or flight to Malaysia would actually give me a new 60 days and not just 30 which isn’t enough.

Is there another simple option here?

Will I definitely 100% get another 60 days and not 30 days by going to Malaysia or Laos?

If im on a tourist visa expiring and want to apply for another visa, do i have to leave the country to apply. And if i go to another country os it still my uk thailand embassy i go through.

How do you apply from over here

Asking for a friend- summarized at bottom. It’s a bit long, but it’s also a bit intricate so everything needs to be mentioned. I’m not AUS so I don’t know, hoping to get some useful answers here. Friend was teaching and had a WP- school was scandalous*shocker* and says they will be cancelling it. Friend is feeling like they might even get ripped off for their last paycheck 🤦🏻‍♀️ traveling w/young child the school didn’t attach to friend’s visa… they put the tot on an Ed visa.

I know some schools threaten to cancel the WP, but in some places it costs money so they just threaten but don’t actually do it.

They have another job lined up elsewhere and just need to sit tight til Jan 1. Can they exit and re enter as tourist? Does AUS have any exempt period? How exactly is it done? Buy evisa or what?

I haven’t gone out and come in in awhile. Plot twist- the tot has UK passport.

Long and short- AUS teacher w/ proper visa status fired, young tot on Ed visa and has UK passport. Can teacher and tot exit and reenter as tourists? Any exemption time?

Steps to do? School said WP will be off by 29 Nov 🙄

so of course they’re panicked. Only need to be in Thailand until Jan 1. Thanks

I just realized that I overstayed my 60 days. In fact, today makes 7 days over and I just arrived to Koh Phangan. I am trying to weigh my option on the most economical solution for myself.

Has anyone been stopped at the gate on the island and told to pay the fine before exiting the country?

Or do you only pay the fine when you're also getting an extension? I'm so curious.

Thanks for the support.
