Question that I wasn’t quite able to find the answer to on my own- I know you need about 500k THB when applying, but if you leave the country and then return do they check your account for the 500k? Not an extension, but leaving and reentering before the 180 day mark.

Hello!

I’m from the UK and wanting to apply for a DTV at the beginning of 2026. I’ve been doing lots of research online but figured it’s best to ask people who have experienced the application process themselves so I’m 100% sure on what to do.

The DTV stands for 5 years, whilst living in Thailand, do you have to visit the embassy every 6 months or do you have to leave the country every 6 months and then re-enter? Can you also be denied re-entry at any time?

I know you need 500K THB when applying, do you need to keep this balance in your account at all times so they can check you still have this much money when you get re-checked every 6 months?

Any answers/advice to the above questions would be super helpful, thank you so much in advance😊

Also, feel free to DM me, I’m up to have conversations with people about their DTV experience!

This will be my first 6 months exit on my DTV visa. When I fly back in to Thailand, will I be asked to show 500,000 bath savings in my account once again? Has anyone experienced this?, or will it be no issue at all?? Please advise 🙏

Morning, wondering if anyone can clear this up for me, with a tourist visa how many re-entries and extensions can you do before you’re denied re-entry into the country. I thought you were only allowed to do this 3 times per year but I’ve also heard that you can come in and out for an entire year before been denied entry 🤷🏻

Any insight will be appreciated, thanks in advance 💚

Hi Everyone,

For the Thailand Special Tourist Visa (STV), can you extend your visa then leave Thailand and come back within the visa extension time frame without issue? Also, for the STV visa requirement of 3 months of rent purchased, does the entire 3 month rent have to be at the same building or can it be multiple rentals that cover the entire 3 month time frame?

Thank you for your time!

I have just received a Thai multiple entry tourist visa. The visa expires 6 months from now and states “Length of stay in Thailand = 60 days.”

Does this mean that I can stay for 60 days EACH TIME I enter Thailand or does it mean that for all my visits to Thailand I can stay only for 60 days IN THE AGGREGATE?

Thanks.

Dear all, another question to ask regarding ED Visa. Has anyone ever been denied re-entry into Thailand because of multiple exits and re-entry during the duration of the ED Visa?

I'm asking because I have to make a few trips home during the ED Visa period, and have a few travel plans in mind during the ED Visa period as well. I'm concerned that the immigration officers would take issue with this and deny my ED Visa entry at the airport.
