Can I go to Thailand on a tourist ex visa then turn it into extended yearly visa

Hi Folks and Thailand fans. I have a German passport, working as a freelancer. What Visa do i need when working for my german clients online while my stay in Thailand? I want to stay less than 60 days. Thank you for your help 👍🏻

Great To see the Extension price is the same as the other Tourist Visa..

1,900b

As many people thought may of been another 10,000b 🤔🫡🤫

🤣😂😂

Hello, I am in Hong Kong with HKID. I am a Indian passport holder. I want to train muah thai in thailand for 2-3 months. From a google search, I see that I can get 14 days visa free entry with my passport.

If I go to apply for 2-3 months tourist visa on the thai website, I am asked for accommodations and acceptance of institute for the course I am taking.

I would like to get to Chiang Mai first, find what I like and train at that gym and find a condo.

I'd like to budget within 600-800 usd per month.

I want help and guidance on how to proceed.

Thanks!

Hi, I am an American citizen marrying a Thai here in Thailand(Bangkok), I am on a Non-B visa but I have a sick grandmother in America, if after we are officially married, how can he come to America for emergency situation?

How long does a tourist visa take for him if he is married to me an American citizen, we plan to live here for the next few years. Also, do we go to the American embassy or somewhere else?

Hello, I entered Thailand on 6 September 2024 with French passport on a METV 6 month visa valid from 21 august 2024 - 16 February 2025. I did one 30 day visa extension just before the first 60 day deadline and then left the country twice on holiday. My latest entry stamp received at BKK airport now shows "admitted 13 January 2025 until 13 march 2025."

Should I want to stay the maximum amount of time that I can get out of this 6 month visa, must I leave the country before 16 February as shown on original visa or can I leave just prior to the latest stamp showing "until 13 march" giving me 60 more days? Could I also ask for 30 day extension just before the 13 march?

Thank you to clarify this for me.

I'm due in thailand in march 2025 for 3 weeks. Do I need to go on line and get a tourist visa or does the 60 day free visa still apply for Australian citizens

Hi all I am from the UK on a 60 days visa exemption I would like to apply for a 30 day extention at. kho samui immigration office how many days before my 60 days stamp is due to expire should I go to samui immigration to get the 30 extension total time 90 days here

My friend arrived today from UK travelling with two others who are here for short holiday 21 days . He though has came back for a longer break, he was here at end of 2024 on a tourist 60 day visa and extended it from 60 to 90 days and then he went home to Uk early December, not sure exact date. He booked a return flight for another 90 day trip , no hassle at the departing airport not sure if Qatar or emirates but they just said will he be applying for a visa extension, no problem with airline to let him fly as his return flight was in 90 days. When he got to immigration in Bkk he was in his words grilled by immigration officer on what his intentions were. Where would he stay , where was he travelling. She told him not allowed to visit for 90 days and go away short time and come back for another 90 days , he must apply e visa online , at one point he thought she wasn’t going to give him entry it was really bad the other two friends got scared as they heard all this and thought he was going to be refused entry. The officer was very rude and direct , visa not for long visit only tourist for holiday, the more he tried to reason the more she said it.

He did not argue as he was on verge of being refused . Now immigration officer has put a note on his file to warn other officers. He’s panicking, she said ok you have holiday , go away for long time come back for holiday , it beggars belief they want tourist that they do this , this friend took early retirement and is loving visiting Thailand but this has put him off . He travels Europe a lot so he might return to that . I told him to get a multi entry retirement visa to last him 15 months but after this 3 months he is not coming back until September/ October , so should he risk return in September and do retirement visa then or get it on this trip even though he won’t use it again from when he leaves in April until he returns in September.

Has anyone else suffered at immigration? This guy is actually genuine lol he fell in love with the lifestyle but he’s genuinely just using the system to holiday nothing else. I told him to get an agent to do his extension at 60 days as he will never know what this officer put on his file and he might be refused. He is shaken by the experience

Sorry for long post I have literally just left these friends and this was the main topic of conversation

Hello everyone.

I have spent the last 6 months travelling around Thailand on 2 x 60 days visa exempt and 2 x 30 day extensions. I'm now planning to leave Thailand to apply for the DTV from a third country.

I usually work online but have NOT been doing so from Thailand as that's obviously against the rules and I was taking a break.

My question is, will the 6 months I've spent here make it more likely my DTV application be denied? Will the embassy assume I have been living/working here on a tourist visa? Has anyone had any problems like this?

I have the funds needed, is this sufficient to be accepted?

Many thanks
