Hi guys

Got a question.

I got medical procedure planned for this year, and since that will put me out of business for at least 3 to four months, I will do it in Thailand, so I can get nurtured back to health by my wife .

No I'm thinking about flying to Laos first

Get a two months visa at immigration there, and after surgery, go to immigration in my town to get extension (with a letter from my doctor )

Or

Go straight to Thailand

Get visa exempt, and than go immigration, with a letter from the doctor.

What is the best option.

Going to the embassy in my home country is kinda complicated, since I work offshore, and need to have my passport with me at all times.

What you think

Any information is welcome

Question about Non O retirement visa, on a year extension that expires second week of November. I won’t be in Thailand to submit paperwork for another year extension at the Jomtien Immigration Office by then. I know I will have to apply again when I get back to Thailand. Do I need to visit the Immigration Office in Jomtien to cancel this extension before I leave? When I return to Thailand next year, do I enter on 30 day visa exempt and start the process for Non O retirement visa over, will there be any fines? Just want to do this correctly and cheers to all.

I was in Thailand the month of April on a 90-day non-o, opened a bank account and returned to the U.S. House closed quicker than I expected and now I will return Thursday the 26th of June. The 90-day non-o still is not expired date wise, but once I left it was invalidated at that point, correct? Best just to come back on 60-day visa exempt and get my money seasoned and go straight into the 12-month extension?

Planning to stay in Thailand from September until April. Around 8 months. I plan to leave the country during this period a few times for short visits in other countrys. I spent already 30 days and 75 day this year in the country on visa exempt. Do you recommend the METV? Could that cause any issues?. Or should I better go for a DTV. Was never questioned before at immigration.

Hi All,

I'm planning on flying to Thailand on 24th June from London at 20.50

I have an appointment in London to get a new passport on the same day .

I will get my new passport at 1pm that day .

Does this give me enough time to get the online arrival card for entering thailand on visa exempt ?

On advice from many online sources , I visited my local immigration office to apply for non immigrant 0 visa . I am on a visa excempt but was told that the application for that visa was no longer available from a visa excempt applicant and I have to leave the country and apply for a e-visa . Then apply at the same office for the o visa . What is this nonsense and why ?

I have an American passport and I have used Visa exempt on arrival several times along with a couple of border runs to Laos since October 2023. In March 3 I married a wonderful Thai woman. I'm in America now and had an eye surgery but now I have a flight back to Thailand on June 10. My question is if I have a copy of my marriage documents and explain my situation and that I am immediately going to follow the requirements for a marriage Visa. Do you think that the IO will allow an entry on Visa exempt one more time without much problems. I realize that it's up to the IO that I will be in front of but what is the groups thoughts on my chances

Thanks for your advice in advance

This is probably not the right place to ask but bear with me.

I’m here on a DTV but my boyfriend is here on visa exempt status. He has already flown in twice this year to Thailand but not stayed the full 60 days. Due to some family stuff he is having to fly out again for a week and come back.

Could someone please enlighten how many times a year he can come here on visa exempt status. He wanted to apply for DTV but he doesn’t have the full 500K yet.

Nationality: Central European.

Thanks for any advice whatsoever. Khap khun khaaaa

Hello again every one. 🙂

I want to extend my 60 day visa exempt for another 30, is this still possible?

I don’t have a TM6 form or TDAC because when I entered Thailand it hadn’t started yet.

I was advised I might only be able to extend for 7 days, can anyone clarify?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Edited: excuse my confusion, I thought it was a sixty day visa on arrived an turns out it’s “visa exempt” thanks 🙏🏼

Hello guys, can someone explain to me the process for extending my entry for another 30 days? Thanks.
