I know that this topic has been discussed at length over the last 2 or 3 days but I have spent the last two sorting out with Wise how to get future transfers tagged as international. The information I have got could still be of use to people who rely on this for their visa extensions. I have posted it elsewhere but it has got lost in very long threads.

I contacted Wise and asked why the option long term stay had been removed. I got my Bangkok bank account tagged by supplying its details to Wise. I was then given the following information about how to get transfers tagged international. I tried three transfers two of which have only just appeared in my account. I hope this post gives some relief to people who are concerned..

Hi I've booked flights for 90 days return but only get 60 exception will I be OK at airport I'm going to get extension 30 thanks x

Where is the best immigration office in BKK to get an extension??

Hi guys. Im of Indonesian nationality & having flexibility for 90days Visa to Thailand. Im thinking of moving there for a while; what would be the easiest way to obtain long time visa; Should I get a job in BKK first or Enlist in a faculty that would give automatic study visa for foreigners. Any advice?

Jakarta DTV update

My husband just got our 2 visas from the embassy!!! 🙌🏼😆

Documents provided

For him as main DTV holder:

- 500k THB on a bank account at date of application

- letter of acceptance from a Muay Thai school on Koh Lanta

- price 5,600,000 IDR

For me as spouse:

- proof of relationship - copy of our civil union certification from Amsterdam (NL)

- copy of his passport

He gave both applications on Monday around 1pm. And got the visas on Thursday at 1.30pm. 3 days like they announce on the website and when you drop the application.

I did not have to be present which allowed me to stay on Bali with our kids.

He only had to proove 1x 500k THB for both of us.

The MT school on Lanta gave a pretty high price to agree to give him the letter.

Note my husband DOES plan on training in MT but NOT everyday because as a family it just doesn’t work. And they were offering daily training at first.

He managed to get the price gor down a bit but still it was quite an expense. Something to take into account when applying for soft power DTV

I feel joy and relief that we are to enjoy Thailand again.

Also happy to answer any questions!

Hi had my 6 month multi entry tourist visa this morning, Arriving 30th October I will be returning home for a wedding after 5 months on the 25 February. Visa is dated 11th Sept to the 09th March if I re enter before the 9th march does it reset for another six months ?/ TIA

This will answer a lot of questions.

Hi, is it true that if you've entered on the 60-days visa exempt and then extended 30 more days you have to fly out at the end, and can't just cross the land border with Laos and cross back again for another 90 days? Many thanks!

Hi I am intending to visit Thailand again for @ 6 months starting in October. I am retired (so cant get the new nomad visa) will travel with my Thai wife of many years. Last year I went on a Tourist visa, extended it for 30 days, they got a family visa then popped over to Laos for a day.

To simplify matters this year plan to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist visa - have been assured that this lets you enter the country for 3 x of 60 days in a 6 months period - so idea being arrive after 60 days go to Laos returning the same day which will also be day one of the second 60 days, at the end of which repeating this process - so total of 177 days in Thailand. My question is step 3 of the Multiple entry application asks for date of arrival (okay) BUT then asks date of departure is this the 60th day ie when I go in/out to get my next entry on my visa OR is it the 157th day?

I am highly intrigued by the DTV, but what if I don't want to stay for the full 180 days? Can I pause the 180-day period and leave the country? Does it even matter? I might be misunderstanding the rule about staying for 180 days at a time over five years. Can I be denied entry as long as my visa is still valid?
