hello I'm leaving for Thailand from April 11th to June 28th (78 days) do you think I can go back for a month less than 30 days after. (as of July 23)? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Bonjour. Je pars en thailande du 11 avril au 28 juin (78 jours) pensez vous que je peux y retourner pour un mois moins de 30 jours après.(à partir du 23 juillet)? Merci par avance pour vos réponses.

After I get my 30 days of Tourist-Visa I can get out and get in again in Thailand how many times i want during that period of time without affecting my Tourist-Visa?

Maybe a silly question but dose a 1 day overstay effect me getting a retirement visa ?

Small report: Just passed through Nong Khai Immigration (approx 19.00, taking the Vientiane - Nong Khai bus). I've lived in Thailand before, but this was my first visa-exempt border bounce (initial arrival in January, extended in March). I spent 1 week in Luang Prabang before coming back. Upon arriving at the checkpoint, the first policeman sent me to Room 15 to speak to the supervisor. He asked me what I was planning to do and to see a ticket out (which I had thankfully bought in advance), but did not ask to see ฿20,000 or any confirmed hotel bookings. I hope this helps someone.

Edit to add: I had heard anecdotally that flights to neighboring countries are looked at with some suspicion by the border guards, so I booked to South Korea. These are more expensive, but under Korean law all airlines must offer a rather generous refund policy. It might be worth considering this for your own situation as well.

Just been to Bangkok Bank in Udon Thani and asked for a simple bank account. I had my passport and 90 day retirement visa and driving licence. I’m 56 and retired and in a relationship. My girlfriend rents a home nearby. I was told that I also need a TM30 stamped at immigration office and long term rental agreement. She also tried to sell me Insurance for 50k baht for 12 months, as she said it would help my application. This is just a post for information purposes but feel free to add comments that may help!

Hey there! I have the DTV visa and will travel after 180 days. Can I travel back in later with no problems? Or do I need the same documents before and have to register for immigration? Thank you for your replies!

Hallo! Ich habe das DTV Visum und reise nach 180 Tagen aus. Kann ich später ohne Probleme wieder einreisen? Oder brauche ich vorher wieder die gleichen Dokumente und muss ich mich bei der Immigration melden? Vielen Dank für eure Antworten!

After coming in and out of Thailand for over a year I via tourist visa, just got stopped and pulled at dmk immigration and questioned that it's illegal to use a "free visa" for longer term (I corrected them and said exempted). Now they won't let me in again with this visa type anymore. It seemed they just started doing questioning more and more people. I will need to get a different visa type going forward in order to continue my stable relationship with my Thai gf. The pressure and intensity of authority they are going with is really. It felt to me like they are trying to find things to pressure people to do dtv or Similiar.

My friend apply for one year visa in Thailand last December.

But his passport expired inext July.

is enough to come Thailand with new passport and old one. And they switch one year stamp to new passport?

Hello everyone

Upon entering Thailand still valid 60 days free entry or 30 days??

Thanks

A few days ago, I made a post about the Thailand Digital Arrival Card.

(The comment section has since been closed – not sure why).

Here’s the link to the original post:

And here’s the official update from TAT: 2 hours old.

> *“Long-term or permanent foreign residents in Thailand are advised to select ‘Thailand’ under ‘Country of Residence,’ which will be available once the system is activated.”*

So yes – Thailand was initially missing from the dropdown. That was an error, which I confirmed directly with TAT. It will be there when the system goes live.

In my own case – having previously held a NON-B visa and now holding a DTV – I am supposed to select Thailand as my country of residence, because I have my apartment here, live here, pay tax here, and is here 300+ days a year.

I must say it’s been amusing to read some of the confident “expert” answers in the group with things they don't know anything about.

So here’s a kind request:

Let’s try to stick to facts and official sources when giving advice – especially in a group where people rely on accurate information. Guessing can be fun, but it’s not always helpful. 😉
