Hi, I’m coming to Thailand for more than 30 days and intending to get an extension while I’m here , on the Visa form shall I put the 30 days or put the 45 days I intend to stay even though I haven’t got approval to extend yet. Thanks for any help.

A friend (US passport) has applied for a DTV through the Thai Embassy in the USA. The embassy requested additional info. It now appears that the visa will not be issued before his scheduled arrival time in Bangkok. Shifting his flight will be problematic, and would prefer not to do so unless absolutely necessary. He knows that he can get visa exempt for 60 days, and he also knows that he had to apply for the DTV when he was not in Thailand, but will his arrival in Thailand before the DTV is issued screw up the issuance of the DTV? One guess is that he would have to leave Thailand once the DTV is issued and then come back to activate the visa, but he has been unable to get a clear answer. Any wise guesses or experiences on this front? Thanks in advance.

Have already bought my ticket to Thailand and plan on staying with family for 6 weeks since the entry visa is 60 days now I heard they are putting it back to 30 days, is there any exemption for people that have already purchased there ticket or do I need to apply online for a visa, not a problem its just annoying But TIT

Hello everyone,

I just returned from a trip from Bangkok, this time I entered the country by land (from Cambodia with a cambodian passport) to visit some friends. As I remember from my previous trips I had a 14 days visa, but this time I’m a bit confused as of the stamps on my passport. Is it a mistake from the immigration officer ? Because the date mentioned on the stamp doesn’t make sense (18/03 till 16/05).

Kind regards.

Hello everyone, has anyone had any experience of getting a visa to Hong Kong? How was it?

If you leave Thailand during the 60-day tourist visa period - say for a week - and the 60 day period ends while you’re out of the country, do you need the 30-day extension before you leave, or when you return? All input appreciated.

I think should be ok but wouldn’t mind having my mind put at ease

Went to Thailand twice towards the end of last year on a British passport using the (what was) 60 day visa free entry, both trips were roughly 50 days each. Am going again for Songkran, this time for 3 weeks

Is there any chance they might refuse me entry? I have heard it all depends on the immigration officer you get on the day

Is there anything you need to do online before arriving in Thailand by air? I just want the 60 day visa on arrival.

☀️I’d just like to know about the free visa thingy as it states online free visa for certain nationalities and it’s for 30 days. So does that mean you just rock up at the airport and just go through?

Also can the free visa be extended or does one have to apply for actual tourist visa to get an extension ?

☀️Second question the DTV do I need to apply online or at the embassy? I’m not in my home country reason I’m asking.

Sorry if I sound dumb or retarded but I’m genuinely asking because the info I get is a back and forth and keeps changing.
