I am looking for a bit of advice. My wife and I would like to spend regular periods of up to 5 months in Thailand (probably once a year). I understand that there is a 6 month visa, which one can apply for in advace of a visit, but it is only possible to stay for up to 60 days at a time on this visa, i.e. it is necessary to leave Thailand twice during a 5/6 month stay. I also understand that the on arrival tourist visa of 60 days can be extended once by a further 30 days at the immigration office. My question is if we take the on arrival trourist visa, extend it by 30 days and leave the country for a few days just before the 90 days expire, can we come back into the country and obtain another on arrival tourist visa of 60 days? If so, are there limitations on this?

I arrived in Thailand in October and was given the standard 60 day exemption and then went to Laos for a week and returned to Thailand to get another 60 day exemption, but I am wondering if I can do another boarder run or do I need to go to immigration and settle for a 30 day extension

Can a 90 day O Visa be extended once in Thailand. Thanks in advance…

Hi, I travelled to Thailand during Christmas 2024 and got 60 days visa free stamp validity till 20 Feb 2025.

But I returned back to my country in 2 weeks time.

My passport has stamp of 20 Feb 2025 as last date of visa. I plan to travel again on first week of March.

Question : Do I need to apply for extension visa from my country or travel again normally and get 60 days free visa stamp again? Will there be any questions at immigration for this ?

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

FYI: I just called Nong Khai immigration office for border bounce for Vietnamese national. The officer said that, if the person crossing have not extended the visa and it is the first time - the person can leave and get back into Thailand without needing to stay over night. In case, someone need this info. Thanks.

2 x 60 already and currently on a 30,is cambodia via agent feasible or best to avec and return autumn ?

Hello, seeking advice on obtaining a non-immigrant O visa, as I want to retire here. I've been researching some myself, but only making marginal progress.

I'm American, over 50, single, currently living in Bangkok but want to relocate elsewhere in Thailand in the next few months.

Currently here on tourist visa expiring March 4th but can extend 30 days. I do have a rented condo and TM30

I have been receiving documented retirement of about $1500 for a few years, which is over 600k baht annually. If I understand correctly, I need to deposit @ 200k baht additionally to a Thai bank account to bring the total to the 800k total. I have not been able to open a bank account yet. I do have other assets in savings in an American bank.

Given my circumstances, what should I do? I don't mind parking the 200k in an account, especially since it doesn't have to be there 12 months each year.

Thanks in advance!

I've done a lot of visa runs, extensions, including land border runs in Laos and Myanmar. But I've been mostly living out of Thailand for over a year, but still visited and extended. When I use this passport I get asked what I'm doing in Thailand. Should I not get a DTV until I get a fresh passport? Or is this not a problem?

I have 3 questions on the DTV Visa.

1. Can you have a joint bank account with the 30k USD/1M Baht when you apply for the DTV visa? I don't want to give my wife 15k :)

2. Can you get a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa? I have read you can get one in Pattaya.

3. Is the requirement of a 180 stay mean, you need to leave Thailand and come back every 180 days for up to the 5 years? Basically a run for the border every 6 months...

DTV visa is my best option. I don't have a pension or any passive income yet to apply for the other visa options.

Dear group, I want to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand and I am going to Bangkok and Pattaya from March to May and I think it is the easiest way to hire a visa agent in Pattaya to arrange this. what is your opinion on this. thanks in advance for your opinion. the problem is that when applying for the pension visa, the question is asked where I will live and I have not arranged that yet, so I cannot get any further in the visa application. I have no problem with the 800,000 bath. so income enough. I also have to find out the tax rules from a Thai lawyer and will therefore not stay in Thailand for more than 180 days. in connection with having my own house that has been paid off in the Netherlands. many thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate this very much 🙏
