Update, I was given 7 days extension, attempts to get 30 days was denied. Officer did not ask any questions nor ask for additional documents.

Hi, I applied for visa exemption extension online via VFA. This is my third visit to Bangkok Thailand this year.

1st visit - early jan 2 weeks or so.

2nd visit - mid July to October 60+30 days extension (I consumed roughly 78 days)

Between my 2nd and 3rd visit I went back to my home city Hanoi for 5 days

3rd visit mid October to present with online extension appointment in person on Monday 15th Dec, the day my visa exemption ends.

What's are the odds the IO will give me

30 days?

7 days?

0?

Thank you

A foreign tourist has warned travellers after being denied entry at Thailand’s Don Mueang Airport for insufficient funds. Immigration officers enforced the regulation requiring visitors to prove they possess at least 20,000 baht upon arrival.

The traveller claimed she was unaware of the rule and was refused permission to withdraw cash from an ATM. She expressed frustration at the lack of clear guidance and was told to attempt entry through a different airport.

Thai authorities confirm that proof of financial means is a mandatory requirement, though enforcement remains discretionary. Tourists are advised to ensure they carry adequate funds or documentation to prevent border issues.

Ok sorry to ask but I’m someone who lives in phillippines that comes to Thailand for a week every couple of months (Canada passport). I saw now it’s only 2 visa exempt entries a year? How does this apply to me does it mean these week trips to Thailand are over or I need a visa?

Is anyone else in Hat Yai right now?

Here are some tips to visit this bucket-list destination without any mistakes!

After some insight in regard to the TDAC. I have an active DTV visa, which it’s my first six months into it so have gone to Bali to see some friends for a few days and return.

What am I supposed to put down for these questions? Purpose of travel? I am returning home.. I live in Phuket.. Date of departure and flight number? I don’t know. Once again I am returning to my home in Phuket lol.

I need advice about legal documentations! Please help!!!

I am 18 years old and is a Canadian citizen.

I am currently in Vietnam for the summer and would like to bring my 12 year old brother (also Canadian) and my grandparents (Vietnamese) to Bangkok Thailand for 5 days for tourism.

For my 12-year-old brother:

Are any parental permission documents required for him to travel with me?

If so, must the original signed permission letter be presented, or would a scanned/digital copy be sufficient?

Is a birth certificate or any additional documentation required for him as a minor?

Visa requirements:

Do Canadian citizens need a visa for a 5-day visit to Thailand?

What are the visa requirements (if any) for Vietnamese citizens traveling from Vietnam to Thailand for tourism?

Do you agree? More tourists are going to Vietnam than Thailand because it’s cheaper?

Seems that Thailand is a stable as ever.

Just heard the Thai government are not changing the entry stamp from 60 to 30 days, as due to the low tourist situation ,they don't want to rock the boat
