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

I believe I (UK citizen on a 60 day tourist visa exemption) need a TM30 form to get a 30 day extension. The guesthouse I'm in at the moment says they can't give me a TM30. I asked 2 other places nearby: 2 more "sorry, cannot". I want to get it here in Ayuthaya but could re-locate to Bangkok. Would it be easier (or not required) there? Or can I create one myself? My 60d expires 10 days from now, so I'd like to get the extension in the next couple of days. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

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

Hi all. I’m considering going to culinary school in Thailand but would like my mum (60+) to come along with me, what type of visa would she need to stay??

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?

We are on a 60 Day tourist exemption and are looking to get an additional 30 Day Extension. Apart from TM47 form, TM30 and our passport do we need to provide anything else?

Thanks

Hello, my question might not be related to the group but I would be appreciated if anyone could help me for the answer 🙏🏼🥺

My boyfriend who is holding Myanmar passport staying in Malaysia will enter Thailand by air for 14 days free visa.

Then, we plan to take a train to go to Laos by lands and he will depart from Laos to Malaysia by air.

Is he possible to "enter Laos" from Thailand by lands without visa OR visa on arrival?

Or he needs to apply for tourist visa to enter Laos?

I see Bali has a 30 day exempt visa at entry. Am I right in thinking. That if I fly out there for a few days to a week, the day my tourist visa expires. On my return to Thailand my passport will be stamped with a 60 day exempt.

Has anyone tried signing up for quarterly/bi-annual dental treatments (e.g. scaling/polishing) and use this to apply the DTV successfully ?
