For Americans, you got 6 months in Europe and got 2 months in Thailand without a visa, that doesn’t mean Thailand is less friendly to you than Europe, mostly because Thailand wants to generate more revenues from tourism by forcing you extending your visa or jumping back and forth, cutting the staying from 2 months to 30 days also aiming the same, generating more revenues, but this will bring more inconvenient for travelers and may affect their plans.

I have just received my Non-Immigrant 0 visa. I filled out the application form, and told the embassy my date of travel 01/06/2025 that then gives me 3 months, they have issued the E-VISA from 18/04/2025 until 16/07/2025, can I get it changed or should I go to immigration and explain when I arrive, and Brandon what are the complications.

Hello,

Me and my family (husband and three years old son) will apply to DTV on next days. We are from Portugal and have remote jobs. I have a few questions:

- the visa fee of 10000bth is for person? My son will have to pay?

- How long will it take us to fly if we apply now?

- every 180 days we have to leave and re-entry and show all documents again? And pay fee visa again?

Thanks a lot

My Thai g/f has Australia 820 visa that expires on 2nd July for 3 month periods. If she enters Australia on 30th June can she stay for 3 months from that date.

Hi all

After browsing the UK Thai Embassy website it seems a METV is the visa I’m looking for.

However I couldn’t seem to see the fee amount for this visa.

If anyone knows the price I’d be really grateful 🙏🏼

Oh and am I correct in thinking I’ll have to leave and return into Thailand after 60 days? Or is it 90 days? And then granted another 60/90 days on my return?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.

Hi I just wanted to share my experience obtaining the DTV. I applied from Hanoi, Vietnam on 03/21 and used the soft power option, using a cooking school. I submitted the following documents:

- My Vietnam airbnb receipt

- Confirmation letter from the thai cooking school

- Proof of accommodation and flight to Thailand

- A PDF containing 6 months worth of bank statements combined with my offer letter from my US employer. Youre not required to submit an offer letter and i think they only wanted 3 months of bank statements but i wanted to demonstrate that i had sufficient income and that i do not have a thai employer. My boss is also fully aware that im in thailand and supports it

I was asked on 03/24 to submit my Vietnam entry stamp and business registration letter from the cooking school. My status immediately changed to pending approval

Officially approved on sunday 03/31.

When I arrived at BKK airport, all I did was show my DTV visa on my phone and I got my stamp. No questions asked.

The whole process was smooth and straightforward.

So, please tell me is the 60/30 days free entry over now?

Hi, need a quick answer please, not been to Thailand for over a decade, can you please tell me how long you get in Thailand without a visa from Uk !? Answer I'm finding on Google are conflicting !

Please excuse me if this question is considered stupid.

I am an American 60yo. I would like to come to Thailand 2x per year for no more than 90 days each time. Is this possible? I do not have the 800k for a non O visa, and really only want to stay for 90 days at a time. Thanks in advance.
