Hello everyone.

I have spent the last 6 months travelling around Thailand on 2 x 60 days visa exempt and 2 x 30 day extensions. I'm now planning to leave Thailand to apply for the DTV from a third country.

I usually work online but have NOT been doing so from Thailand as that's obviously against the rules and I was taking a break.

My question is, will the 6 months I've spent here make it more likely my DTV application be denied? Will the embassy assume I have been living/working here on a tourist visa? Has anyone had any problems like this?

I have the funds needed, is this sufficient to be accepted?

Many thanks

Hi, I have already stayed 60 days in Thailand using visa exemptions, and I extended another 30 days in Phuket. Now I have 15 days left. If I want to stay in Thailand for 2 more months:

📌Option 1: Can I do a visa run by land via Laos or Myanmar? Is that correct?

📌Option 2: Can I just fly to Singapore or Malaysia for 3-4 days, return to Thailand, and get another 60 days?

Thank you! 🙏

Just landed in BKK on a fresh DTV, received in Jakarta as a freelancer. I was asked by immigration what I did and asked to show proof of my work. I had to pull out my computer and walk the agent through some of my published work while explaining my career. She then asked me why I was applying in Jakarta and not in my home country.

My recommendation is to keep the documents you apply with handy upon arrival in Thailand, perhaps in a folder always accessible on your mobile.

For context, I have spent time in Thailand d and do have a couple of visa exempt entires.

Hope this is helpful to those that I have seen asking if this is happening.

As I need to prepare ahead, what are the best options for flights out of Bangkok for the 180 days in/out strategy? Kuala Lumpur? Ho chi Minh?

Hi, what would you guys say is the best visa to stay for around 6 months? Education or tourist visa with extensions etc? What would be the cost? Thank you to any experts who can give some info.

Hello, I’m currently in Thailand.

I stayed 3 weeks in April, 2 months in October- November and I did another visa exemption to stay until January 10th. So a total of 91 days this calendar year.

I’m planning on coming back end of February (via land border after Laos) with a tourist visa.

Is there a possibility I get denied entry?

Visa extension.

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking into the requirements for extending the VoA for 30 days (60 plus 30). However I’m a little stuck on the TM30. I’m travelling on a boat so I don’t have an address to register. Does anyone have experience of that? Thanks 🙏

If in fact many people are being denied entry to Thailand visa exempt as has been reported, they must be denied upon their second visa exempt entry attempt, given the start date of the 60 day change was 15 July 24. I guess it is then safe to say, after the first 60 day visa exempt entry with 30 day extension, there is no guarantee of being allowed in visa exempt a second time.

What is the limit for TOTAL days as a tourist in a year?

Eg: I travel in/out of Thailand often, within the same tourist visa expiration date-

Is there a limit to the total number of days or visas, I’m allowed in the country as a tourist?

Thank you!

I spend a lot of time in Thailand and I have done border runs travelling as a tourist visa but if I flew out of the country, am I allowed to come back the same day or do I have to stay for 24 hours before I come back?
