Greetings from the USA. If staying for 90 days, is a TR visa going to cover the entire stay? Tia…

If you go on sabbatical to Thailand for 3 months and apply for a visa with all the details like flight booked, accommodation etc. Then you get an approved e visa type tourist TR with validity date (issue date so not the date of departure) and expiry date (3 months after issue date and thus shorter than the actual date of departure from Thailand. Is this correct then and if not; which visa should we apply for?

Hello!

I am currently on a TR 6 month multiple entry visa where each visit cannot exceed 60 days. So effectively I have to leave at least once every 60 days in that 6 month period.

Just before my first 60 days were up I went overseas and then returned to Thailand. My new visa stamp says it is valid until the 20 September.

My question is if I leave Thailand to visit a friend in Laos and come back before the 20 September date does it reset as my like second visit out of the country ahd therefore shortens my overall 6 months? Or will it be that the date I next have to leave by is still 20 September so whatever date I return from after that resets and starts my second 60 days.

I am really tired and hoping this makes sense!

Hi, I’m from Myanmar. But I live in Thailand with TR visa. I’m a makeup artist which is freelance job. I want to know if I apply DTV visa for me, what I should prepare paper documents. Because I never work with any company. So I do not have recommendation letter . If need, how can I try ?

Can you guys give me suggestions?

Thank you all.

Attention ALL Members

Issues at the land border crossings with Lao in Chiang Rai province (Chiang Saen/SEZ and Chiang Khong/Huay Xai)

I deleted the last post :O as now getting new information from the border run companies

BOTH land borders in Chiang Rai province are requiring people stay out of thailand Chiang Saen says overnight and Chiang Khong says 2 nights out

They are saying it's an order from the immigration dept :/

Sorry to have posted sketchy info. This is the latest we have. If you're up in the Northwest of Thailand and need to bounce you should plan on being IN Lao a day or two.

At this time NO other land borders are are affected...

Would like you guys' advice on my situation:

I would like to get the DTV, but having some doubts.

Context:

I have been in-and-out of Thailand trying to maximize my stay for about 5 years, always on a TR visa. This is because my boyfriend moved to Bangkok in 2019, and he was able to get a Thai passport because he was born in Thailand.

I always brought supporting documents like our appartment lease and his invitation letter + his ID card copy to help me pass immigration. During my last stay this started becoming harder. Despite having a multiple entry TR visa, the immigration officers started grilling me extensively on every entry, and despite being understanding of my situation, they insisted every time I had to get a different visa and I might be refused entry next time.

At this point I am not comfortable anymore going back on a TR visa and facing this same scenario again (being grilled, facing the risk of being rejected at immigration, doing visa runs every 2 months...)

Since I am a freelance web developer, the DTV seems ideal for me.

However:

- With the TR visa, immigration makes issues if they suspect you of trying to stay in Thailand year-round. I wonder if this also applies to the DTV. Because technically I would like to be able to stay year-round, aside from the occasional trip.

- I do not have a bank account with 500k THB or equivalent. I can loan this from my parents and put it on an account, but this won't make for a 6-month statement of 500k+.

This makes me worry I will face an issue getting it.

Alternatively, we could look into a spouse visa. But this might require me to wait for a while. Thailand is due to allow same-sex marriage this year, which will be a matter of months now. It is not clear yet how this will play into our ability to get married in Thailand (as a Thai national and a foreign national), or the ability to have a foreign marriage recognized. We aren't married yet but we've been together for 11 years now and we are engaged. That being said, the DTV seems like a better solution while we wait this out.

Any advice or insights much appreciated :)

Changing TR to non O visa ,still have to leave the country? Or its can be done in the locals branch immigration? Thank you 🙏

Hi, I wonder if a traveller holding TR visa can open a bank account in Thailand? If so, which bank? (I've asked multiple banks but no luck).

Visa from Vientiane: Arrived in Thailand on a TR visa in January. Have been here ever since, doing border runs. Have one more land border crossing remaining this year.

What are the chances of obtaining a 60-day TR Visa from the Thai embassy in Vientiane?

And what documents will I need? Proof of funds? Temporary residence? And how long might it take? Thanks.

Hi, my TR visa expires on 1st July, can I get a 30 Extention on the 1st or does it need to be before that date

Thanks
