Hi, I’m currently in Australia preparing to return to Thailand in a few weeks. One way ticket purchased a few months ago and now attempting to fill out the Thai Digital Arrival Card.

As I said, I’ve only booked one way as I’m expecting to get the 60 days visa free on arrival, then hoping to extend for an extra month by paying the 1,900 THB nearer the expiration of the 60 days. My problem is that in filling out the TDAC they want to know the date and details of my return flight? In the past I would have just purchased a fully refundable flight, but from what I know now these are no longer available? Any help would be appreciated?

So it gonna be Visa on Arrival at the VTE airport.

I will arrive at 22:00 in the airport.

Border run Nong Kai Laos.

I never been there before.

Can I just stay and leave in 1 day?

(Few years ago I did this in Cambodia It took me 20 minutes)

Right now I am on a ED visa (15 months total) and it expires 29 July.

Someone who is sure about this?

And maybe some other advice for me if I am going there?

(Dutch paspoort holder)

Just entered on a 60 day visa-on-arrival at DMK after spending 4 days in Taiwan. Previously had been in Thailand for a year on a education visa. Was lightly questioned for a minute about school and if I would study more or not, but seems no problem entering again after leaving for a few days. Never usually post here, but I saw a lot of people complain and share rejection stories about visa-on-arrival, specifically at DMK. Possibly its because they tried to do multiple visa-on-arrival back-to-back.

UPDATE

We re-submitted visa application on the next day, received feedback within minutes- they asked for a newer photo and translation of a document. Once those were submitted, then finally my daughter got her tourist visa for 60 day stay. Yay! She arrived yesterday and all good. We still don’t know why the first application was rejected though.

But at least it’s clear now that her previous stays were not an obstacle. Thank you all!

Hello. My daughter applied for a tourist visa (60 days) and got rejected. Which is a surprise because she visited 4-5 times before without any problems. As a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, could she arrive and get “visa on arrival “ which is for 15 days, and then later extend it for another 2 weeks? Or could she leave for the weekend and re-enter again? Please I need any advice because she needs to travel in 2 week already… thank you

Hello everyone here !

I am on a DTV visa. I am in the city of "Khong Chiam", near the border with Laos.

I want to do a Border run & I wanted to ask someone who knows this land border:

There is a border crossing 30 min from here to Laos ("Chong Mek International Border").

Is it possible to cross into Laos and get a visa on arrival, stay a few days in Laos, maybe in the city of Pakse, and return to the same border back to Thailand & get a new stamp on my DTV ?

They give visa on arrival ?

Do they make problems at this land border for DTV visa holders who have stayed a few days in Laos and want to return to Thailand ?

*BTW - I have a rented scooter. I'm sure they not let me in with it into Laos (or maybe yes ?!).

Can I park there at the border my scooter safely for a few days until I come back into Thailand with a new visa ?

Thank you so much,

Any help Any help appreciated !

I’m still confused about which visa fits my situation. Can’t work on the ED Visa and i don’t currently meet the financial requirements for the DTV. Is there a visa that allows me to work remotely and stay in thailand for at six months or a year? Without the $15,000 in the bank.
