DTV reset- land border

I have a DTV and am using a land border run company to go to Cambodia. I actually have been in Thailand less than 90 days on a visa, but I am planning to exit because I did not get a visa for my young child, who entered visa-exempt. I did not get the DTV for her at the same time I did because I don't plan to use the DTV much longer than a few months at a time. I am using the land border company because it is the most efficient way to get a new entry stamp. However, I've been informed that the border agent has never encountered a DTV visa and will charge an extra 1500 baht for an entry stamp for 180 days. Their reasoning is that an entry stamp for a longer period should cost more than the base fee . I objected to this but the visa company says they cannot override the border agent's decision. I may just overlook this as unfamiliarity with new visa and pay it to avoid any problems. Just looking for advice on this or advice on if it is even a good idea to get a new 60-day stamp this way.

American on Visa Exempt. How do I extend? Is that still in person or online? The site i found closest option was for a tourist visa but it's not technically a tourist visa.

Hi - what would be the best way to stay 4-6 months in Thailand? I will be coming from UK

Single Entry Visa: 60+30 days (90 total). A border run should give me another 60 days if I am correct when I arrive back at immigation, for 5 months total?

Multiple Entry Visa: 60+30 days (90 total). A border run will give me another 60+30 days automatically upon re-entering Thailand for up to 6 months total?

I was hoping to do a border run by air after the 80 day mark, is it important that I stay in the neighbouring country for atleast 1 night with the single or multiple entry visa, or will it not make a difference for the latter as the visa has already been pre-approved?

Thank you!

People keep saying you can’t keep coming in on a 60 day visa exempt. We have been travelling Asia the last 3 years, so end up coming into Thailand app 3 or 4 times a year. If I shouldn’t be using visa exempt people say get dev. But we aren’t working we are travelling, so don’t fit the requirements. What else should we do?We are not retiring here either, so the visa exempt is our only option that I know of. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Coming to Thailand January 6th, US passport holder, do I need to apply for an ETA before I get there?

I have been living in the far north of Chiang Mai province for a few years now on extensions based on marriage to a Thai but now I am here on a visa exempt. I will apply for a new visa based on marriage to a Thai next month after I have the required funds in my bank account. In the meantime, I need an extension because my visa exempt will expire next week, before I have the funds in my account for the new visa application.

Will immigration balk if I apply for a 30 day, so-called "tourism" extension? If not, what should I put as the reason for staying on the TM.7 application? A quick look through my passport makes it obvious I am not here as a tourist.

I ask because my wife is 6-months pregnant and prefers not to make the trip to the city this time - she would need to be present if I was applying 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family.

I guess another option would be a border bounce via Chiang Khong/Huay Xai. Are they currently requiring an overnight stay (or longer?) in Laos?

My kids dtv visas didn’t finish until after our travel dates (mind you I started this processing 3 months before our planned journey) but the embassy (DC) kept taking 3 to 4 weeks to ask for more documents, by this time our flights had come. I entered on DTV my kids on visa exempt, 2 weeks after arrival they have sent their evisa dtvs.

My question is, can we go across the land border to Cambodia, stamp out but on entry stamp in under the dtv with one of these border run agencies? Or does anyone know a driver who can get take me and kids (total 6 people) to do this?

Thank you very much.

And for everyone who says I should have waited for their visa to come first, you are more than to keep scrolling.

I want to do 30 day extension of 60 day visa exempt

I did not get a tm6 when I arrived

Do I need it

After 60 days plus 30 day extension can you start another 60 days by crossing Lao border and returning?

Hello all,

I will be coming back to Thailand on a standard Visa Arrival Visa from America. I then plan to apply for a Non Immigrant OA visa.

My question is this, Since I am starting with a Visa arrival, is going to be a problem that I am bringing a lot of items that are what a person would be bringing to plan on moving. And no return flight. Is this going to be an issue with immigration?
