Hello!

DTV holders are required to do 90 days reporting as well in local immigration office?

I thought the visa is valid for 5 years & each entry allows you to stay 180 days at a stretch without any border run/ border bounce or any other thing.

Hi all, those already on a DTV - have you had any issues traveling within Thailand? Say, you are based in Chiang Mai and want to visit Phuket for a week. Is this problematic in any way?

I saw some info on a website that said DTV holders might experience issues traveling to other provinces (away from where they are based) for short trips. It seemed counterintuitive to me, but I want to check if this has been problematic for anyone.

Also, has anyone experienced issues having short trips to nearby countries (Laos, Indonesia, etc.)? Or do just get stamped for 180 days when you arrive back to Thailand (no questions asked about why you travelled)? Thanks so much 😊

Has anybody been to Immigration in order to extend their 60 days “on arrival visa” for an extra 30 days at 1900 Bahts.

If so, could you tell me if I am gonna need to justify where I stay? Does my accommodation owner need to fill up some online form to prove I live there?

Thank you. 🙏

Is it necessary to "check-in" online at immigration every 3 months with the DTV visa of 180 days? Thanks for your help.

Seeing conflicting information online about required docs for visa exempt extension. Some places saying everything down to exit flights + bank statements and some places saying just show up with tm30, fill out the extension form, sign some papers, and pay.

In the Chom Thong area of Bangkok if that helps.

Looks like the Immigration division 1 at Lak Si is the local office for short term extensions. Thanks in advance, don’t want to mess it up in person and have hours of delay with my toddler at immigration

I’m confused about the 90 day check-in with the DTV visa.

1. Do you have to show a bank statement with the 500,000 THB in the bank when you check-in at 90 days?

2. Do you have to do a 90 check-in after every re-entry or once a year?

Thanks in advance for your help in clarifying

Have just successfully completed my 90 day check in.

I asked what documents were needed for the 180 day extention and they said another (up to date) copy of a bank statement showing proof of 500,000 THB funds.

They also giggled and said they didn’t really know as it’s a new VISA 😊

Hello everyone! Do you know if the 90 days reports applies to the DTV visa ? 🥴

Hello everyone!

I’m currently in Bangkok on a Tourist Visa (TR) with a single entry, which expires on December 9th. I’m planning to apply for a 30-day visa extension and was wondering about the best place to apply.

I’ve heard that the process in Bangkok is smooth and straightforward. However, I’m leaving Bangkok on December 1st and will be in Chiang Mai around the time I plan to submit my application (likely December 2nd or 3rd). I’ve also read mixed reviews about the Chiang Mai immigration office, with some people mentioning delays or even rejections.

I’d love to hear your experiences or advice on extending a Tourist Visa at these locations (or others in Thailand). Specifically:

1. Is the process easier or quicker in Bangkok vs. Chiang Mai?

2. Any tips for ensuring a successful extension?

I appreciate any insights you can share!

Thank you in advance. 🙏

Hi there,

Hopefully this makes sense …

If I upload a booking of 6 months for accomadation, but I don’t end up staying at that accomadation, will there be problems on the 90 day check ins - has anyone had any experience with this?

Thank you for any help! 😊
