Has anyone applied for an OA visa and got denied? What if we apply and we don’t receive the e visa before we fly. What do we do if we get to Thailand and it’s denied? Can we still reapply while in Thailand?

Hello ,

I want your advice.

I am going to Thailand from Sweden on January 6 .

Then I am going for a short trip to Penang Malaysia, on January 10 to January 15 ,then going back to stay in Thailand til March 15 returning to Sweden again.

Should I apply for Tourist visa now, or can i go without visa getting 60 days as a Swede , renewed 60 days when returning from Penang Malaysia on January 15th??

Or what is your advice?

I just returned from my in person medical evaluation for the medical soft power route to a DTV. Is anyone else pursuing the medical soft and power route for a DTV?

Hi, has anyone used their investments or annuity to create a business to hire yourself for the workcation dtv? If so how many months did you set up your business prior to applying? (If American would a dba certificate suffice or should I set up an LLC)

I have a stable annuity and would like to use that via a business instead of doing a soft power visa. (We prefer this bc although we want to take language classes we don’t want to be tied down to one area of the country for those classes)

Extension and border run. Will I be let in?

So in 2024 I entered in july 2024 for a week.

Then in September i came back and stayed for around 80 days with an extension and then left for three weeks to Indonesia and Malaysia and finally came back for another 35 days and left in January 2025

I am planning to visit early Jan 2026. Will be previous pattern be a problem? It would have been almost 12 months since I left. No entries in 2025.

Thanks for any insight.

Hello friends!

Is it true that from January 1st the entry rules for Thailand will change and that entry will only be allowed twice per year?

Passport stamped Jan 15. If I fly out on 15th is it an overstay

Hello, could someone please confirm whether it is not possible to get a 30-day extension of a visa exemption for the third time in the same year?

Thank you.

Edit: problem solved with one agency and 5000 thb..

Hi all - with everything changing so rapidly I'm just hoping to get some clarity on a few things regarding 30 day extension:

I'm (UK passport) currently in Bangkok with my partner (Taiwan passport). We both have 60 day visa exempt stamps that run out 1st January. I have been in Thailand twice in 2025, once for two days in January and once for a week in April. She has only been here once for a week in April. All were visa exempt visits. We have never extended a stay or had a long stay here. However a little concerned about my previous two short visa exempt entries.

We want to extend our trip for 30 days to the end of January and have a couple of questions:

1-Is there anything other than passport + photocopy, TM30 and passport photos that we need to bring? Am I missing anything?

2 - For Bangkok is it still the Chaeng Watthana and can we still expect to be there all day? The last time I did a visa extension was before covid and I remember the queues being absurd.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Advice please

1st entry: May 29, 2025=60 stamps + 30 days extension

2nd entry: August 26, 2025=60 stamps + 30 days extension

3rd entry: November 25, 2025= denied entry

Send back to my origin country but I didn’t do it. Instead I enter Singapore.

Is there a chance to visit Thailand again? If yes when?

TIA
