I am planning on staying 150 approx and it appears to me that I have two options if I do not get a visa prior to arrival.

1. 60 day visa on arrival followed by a border run and finally a 30 extension.

2. 60 day visa on arrival followed by a 30 day extension then a border run. This may have the adavatage of another extension if things go pear shaped.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Looking for some opinions and or advice . Return to Thailand on Nov 22 and was going to start the process of retirement visa .

Just finishing a long visit in Vietnam and realizing I would like to visit many more countries , put off traveling for too many years and want to do it while still able to.

Is it crazy to lock up the 800,000 in a Thai bank when I will be in and out of country for the next couple of years? TIA

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this group and in the early stages of looking into relocating to Thailand!

I'm looking to relocate with my mother and myself. She's of retirement age, so any information regarding visa options for retirees would be so super helpful.

I currently work virtually as a nutritionist and am looking into starting my own business.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is anyone else on a DTV here feeling that Thailand isn’t for them? Where are you planning to go next?

I am moving to Thailand early next year from Australia. With the current exchange rate I am a little hesitant to put 800,000 Baht in the bank to cover my retirement visa. If I was to do the 65k Baht income a month till the exchange rate improves can I then swap to the 800k option? Thank you

Hi I've made a mistake on marriage visa and dipped below 400k two weeks ago.

The agent, who is more a lawyer, said I need to leave when visa finishes (5th), without really giving me much info of what to do next.

They said 'as by immigration regulation, the 60- days Thai visit family can only be obtained only once' (which I did last year)and that I need to make sure I leave on a multi entry.

What are my options for re obtaining a visa via Thai embassy in a neighbouring country?

My visa was rejected in Hong Kong, where I am a permanent resident and a final-year full-time PhD student. I applied as a digital nomad, assuming that bank statements and financial proof are the most important things for this category. So, I submitted three statements for one year, and the broker statement, which is in my calculation, is enough to stay for five years with no income, and I have a flat in Thailand. I do not have any employment now as I am super busy with my research, and I would prefer to stay in Thailand, reading and writing. After two days, I was requested:

* Other request documents: Letter issued by employer stating status/position of applicant, duration of position details, salary/remuneration and work space detail/condition with authorized person signature

* Document indicating current location: Valid HK stay permit (Student Visa) + HKID

I do not need a student visa, and I have attached my old job contracts. I also have a dormant company in HK, but I decided not to pursue this path.

I have attached a brief, polite description of the situation to all documents. Ironically, I just finished three years of Invisalign and implant dental treatment in Bangkok. I visit my doctor every few months (I still need to do a lot, but it is not urgent, so I thought this could wait), have a ton of paperwork, and can make new appointments.

I received this today: "Your visa application has been rejected. The applicant does not fall into any of the DTV categories. Refer to the Consulate's website for further details."

While I understand that any embassy can reject any visa and that HK does not have a reputation as a permissive consulate, I still feel somewhat scammed. I can afford to apply again from any Asian country and will visit South Korea soon.

Could you please advise on what steps can be recommended? I never had a visa in Thailand and never overstayed my stamps. During the last ten days, I spent a few months every year on average as a visitor/traveler in Thailand and the rest in 5-6 more countries—kind of a full-time traveler.

Thanks a million!

The upside: the whole process was 3-4 business days :))

Hi friends have any of you heard of the Thai privilege membership program for moving to Thailand

Hello, I am looking to move to Thailand next year. I work offshore 6 months of the year (3 months off, 3 months on). With the occasional 6 week trip in between. What would be the most recommended way to go about visas?

Or just stick with the tourist visa?

Any help is appreciated
