Hello to all,

I have done already 2 Visa Runs on Thailand on the North Border (by land both), everything was very smooth.

Now I want to make the 3rd by air, going to Malaysia, to stay in Thailand for the Christmas, after that I have other place to go.

🤔 Is it possible to make it (3rd)? By air is something different? Should I apply on Malaysia for a visitor visa or just get back to CNX? (Visa on Arrival?)

*If someone knows an agent who are good with this, please let me know. 🙏

Uk passport arrived this morning 5.30am 22/10/25

Just noticed as I am racing to catch my connecting flight that I've only been stamped in until the 20/12/25. I've checked and that's only 59 days. My return flight is the 20/01/26 which with the 30 day extension leaves me a day short when I legitimately shouldn't be. What are my options? Going back to the desk isn't one ,as I'm now sat on my connection .

Im landing in BKK on the 1-12-25, I want to stay a minimum of 90 days in TH, I’m 71 y/o I’ll have travel/health insurance,. I’ve got 3 options,1- enter visa exempt and extend it by 30 days to give me 90 days,.2-enter with a TR visa from uk giving me the same options,.3-entering with an o retirement visa giving me 90 days, what would you recommend ?. My last visit to TH was for 222 days in 2022/2023, came in on a TR visa from uk and extended and border bounced, I’m concerned this could be an issue if I arrive on 1-12-25 and imo pick up on it.

Is Changwattana the only immigration officer in Bangkok? I’m looking to extend a 60 day visa free entry by another 30 days, are there any other offices I can go to?

Hi if you travel to Thailand without a visa, on the 60-day European (visa) on arrival, is it possible to extend that in any way, without leaving the country? Maybe a 30-day extension at the visa office? thanks

I’m coming to Thailand at the end of December & would like to stay for around 4 months . I’m 66 should I apply for a non o retirement visa and then extend for a month or take a flight for a week or two and return. I’m from England.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have traveled to Thailand several times, the first was for work, the rest because I like the country and its food. I plan to go there again but because of my age, I wonder if they will give me at least a 3-month visa.

Hello everyone, I’m flying to Bangkok on the 15th and staying for a month . I’m not just going for vacation but to see if I would like to live there. If so, how long does it take to get a visa and can I stay there while I wait?

I went through the search function of this group and found posts saying opposite things, so here I am with my situation:

My New passport is completely empty. I got it a few weeks ago.

The last entry on my old passport is a 60 days visa exempt entry, of which I've extended by 30 days, and then by 60 days (visiting Thai wife).

My 60 days will expired on October 5. The immigration office in which I did the 60 days extension is far from where I am, so I'm not going back there to transfer extension (I don't think i need to anyways?).

My plan was to leave via Nong Khai border by showing both passports. So they will void/stamp the old passport, and then on the Laos side I'll do the visa on arrival in new passport. *I will come back by air using safe entry*.

But then, searching the group, I found posts saying conflicting things. My understanding is that since my last entry is visa exempt, I can just do what I said above. But if I was on a longer term visa, I would have to leave by air so that they transfer from old to new passport (something they can't do at border).

Am I correct or missing something?

Thank!

I visited the Immigration Office about getting my Retirement Visa.

My current Non-O Visa will expire before I meet the 2 Month requirement for 800,000 in my Thai Bank Account.

So I have to make a visa run.

Can I go to Myanmar and enter back in on a Tourist Visa and then apply for my Retirement Visa when I meet the 2-Month requirement for my Bank Account?
