Hello,

I will be doing a third entry in Thailand in about 3 months this in total, would you recommend getting a safe entry service?

I’ve seen posts of people being rejected all the time here with visa exemptions.

Here is my recent travel history:

• First entry into Thailand: June 5th to July 16th (total: 42 days)

• Trip to Indonesia: July 16th to July 23rd

• Second entry into Thailand: July 23rd to August 13th (total: 21 days)

• Now traveling to the Philippines: August 13th to August 30th

I plan to return to Thailand on August 30th and stay for another 60+30 days, but I’m concerned because it would be my third entry in under three months, even though the total time spent in Thailand is around 63 days.

Thanks!

If you come by airport but they reject you and have to go back the country you come from.

Do they give you something like a "send back/not allowd to enter the country" stamp in your paspoort?

⚠️ Warning

Passport Type: USA

I’m having to leave Thailand because my Non-B visa couldn’t be transferred in time due to a missing document from my employer. While still in Thailand, immigration told me I had to leave the country to do a border run and return on a tourist visa to restart the Non-B visa process.

This will be my first time entering Thailand on a tourist visa exempt on arrival, as I haven’t used one this year. Today, I’m flying from Thailand to Vientiane, Laos (VTE airport) via Lao Airlines. I had everything prepared for the visa on arrival: 2,000 baht in cash and a passport photo, ready before check-in at the airline counter.

However, Lao Airlines refused to issue my already paid-for ticket unless I showed them an additional 10,000 baht in cash. I’ve never heard of this requirement before.

I’m scheduled to return to Thailand on the same airline from VTE. Has anyone experienced this before? Has anyone had problems flying back to Thailand from VTE with Lao Airlines?

Hi friends, my husband and I are going to apply for a 1 yr holiday visa in Thailand.

How do we do this if we don’t have accomodation secured?

We aren’t keen to sign up for a rental if we don’t know if we will be approved? Any thoughts?

Can a one month accomodation do as proof, or do we need to show a 1 year lease?

Thank you

Hey all, I’m planning of snowbirding every winter (November to May) in Thailand on a yearly basis (given that I like the first year, which I’m sure I will but you never know!)

I’m Canadian living in Canada right now but am looking for advice on DTV, I have the $15k for 3+ months proof requirement. Is this the biggest hurdle I am to expect with trying to apply or is there more? I can always come as a tourist and border hop this year if I face issues, wondering what other digital nomads are doing.

Lastly, my girlfriend is not a remote freelancer like me, but she does have the 15k evidence in her account. How do you guys typically deal with partners for these types of plans?

I don’t want any trouble with Thailand and border hopping is just as a temporary resort while I get things in order for the long run, but I do prefer options that have 0 risk.

Thanks in advance!

Good morning,

My son will overstay 4 days his 60 day tourist visa and needs a 30 day extension.

Can he do it at any immigration office in Bangkok ?

I have my ticket booked for my second entry in a year from uk and we are staying for 6 weeks . What do I need to do now please??

If I entered Thailand 6 months ago Visa exempt and then got a tourist visa extension to stay an extra month. Would I encounter doing the same again in September? I hear it's at the discretion of the immigration officer. Your opinions will be greatly appreciated

I have plans on using the Ed student visa, Do I have to leave the country after I apply to duke language school? I know with ALA requires you to.

I’m hoping to retire to Thailand in April 2026 or January 2027, funds permitting. In December I will be traveling there for a holiday on a tourist visa.

My question is, while I’m there, will I be able to change my tourist visa to a 90 day visa to allow me to apply for a bank account, and start transferring my current savings in time for my retirement. We rent a house in Bangkok and are buying a house in Ubon, my name isn’t on either at the moment, but can be if required to support my application for a bank account.

I look forward to seeing any serious help and advice.

Thank you
