Afternoon all, with the new E-visa recently introduced to most countries surrounding Thailand, how many days does it typically take for a 60 day Tourist Visa to be processed?

I have to exit Thailand and come back on an actual tourist visa (not visa exemption) so I can re-apply for the ED visa at Chaeng Watthana afterwards.

(I already had the ED visa before but my university didn't have the documents ready for my 6 months extension and now I have to leave the country and come back again after paying a 5 day overstay fine and getting a temporary 7 day extension).

The Thai E-visa website states it *could* take up to 15 days but I'm doubtful it would actually take that long?

Thinking of going to Kuala Lumpur or Cambodia to lodge the E visa application for tourist visa - does anyone have any recommendations?

Otherwise, a physical appointment at the Thai embassy in Vientiane, Laos may be a faster option?

Hello!

Last month got my DTV done from Savannakhet from an agent. I have now travelled to my home country & I will be coming to Thailand to stay for long term.

After going through various posts I came to know that there are many sub categories under which DTV is issued, so I asked my agent which category my visa is granted. I was surprised to hear 'Learn Muaythai'. I am 49 years old, not that fit health wise.

Now my doubts are:

1. Will immigration ask me about my DTV subcategory?

2. Can they ask for supporting documents? I do not have any & my agent is not giving me any documents now

3. If I want to extend my visa after 180 days within Thailand, do I have to show that I will keep on learning Muaythai or I can switch the category?

4. As a DTV holder under this category, can I do digital nomad related activities like working for my clients remotely & get paid out of Thailand?

5. I am aware that if I stay in Thailand for more than 180 days there could be tax implications on the money I bring in Thailand. But is it ONLY for the money brought in Thailand or the total income earned whilst in Thailand? I think I can use my credit card to withdraw & use cash, will it avoid taxation issues?

Any information/ insights/ suggestions welcome!

Thank you/ Danken

Hi All,

I have 90 day report question for the DTV visa.

If I entered Thailand on October 10, but then left the country on November 5th and returned to Thailand on November 12th , do I have to complete the 90 day report from the first time I entered or only the second time if I stayed 90 consecutive days?

Thanks in advance.

Since the DTV was introduced am i correct in thinking that land border crossings are now not limited to 2 per year ? think i seen a post about it on here somewhere.

Are visa extensions at local immigration now 60 days instead of 30 ?

Can I apply for the DTV while in Thailand on a tourist visa?

Also, can you recommend any agencies that offer faster processing or assistance?

Have they changed the wording in the "remarks" column of recently issued DTVs? It used to say "employment prohibited" even when applying under the workcation category (referring to in-country employment) but I saw a recently issued e-visa with the remarks "workcation" and in Thai it says "remote work".

Can those with recently issued DTVs, both the visa sticker type and e-visas let us know what it says in the "remarks" field on their visa?

Just applied with the Chicago embassy. Anyone have experience on turn around times or issues?

Thank you

Has someone already been granted a DTV in the “music festival” soft power category? If so, as a visitor of a music festival or as a performer?

What's the best visa to get if I want to stay for 6 months of the year in Thailand and 6 months in the UK

Anyone have any data on getting a visa for America or the UK and which one might be easier to get?
