I've been in Thailand since February this year (did the 6 month extension). My previous history before getting the DTV had me stopped and questioned every single entry for a couple of years.

Just left for a week to go to Hong Kong and back. They barely even looked at me at immigration when I came back, just stamped me in and waved me on.

Hi People, My Non O visa expires on 7th Jan 2026, what is the next stage to remain here in Thailand on a permanant basis.

I have sufficient funds in the bank for over the last 2 months.

I have a TM 7, but is that the correct form to stay here.

Hi to all of you!

I have a question concerning the new rules with visa exempt and visa extension.

If I understand well we can technically obtain 2 visa exempt in a calendar year and for the first exempt a 30 days extension and for the second visa exempt a possible 7 days extension.

Now, if I arrived in october 17 and got a 30 days visa extension until january 14:

1- if I go for a border run I should have an other visa exempt;

2- for the visa extension will I have only a possible 7 days extension or because I will be in a new calendar year I would be able to get a 30 days extension.

Also I'm flying back in Canada on april 15 which gave me a 6 months trip.

If I can't get an other 30 days extension I will simply spend a month or in Laos or in Malaysia and come back for the 2 last months of my 6 months trip in Thailand.

I'm 71 years old and spending 6 months a year out of Canada is good enough for me.

And yes next time I will probably apply for a MEV (multi entry visa).

Thanks to all and please if you got nothing positive or usefull about my case I just rather hear nothing from you.

Thanks again!

Update: OK group. I got it. No need for more comments on this one. THANK YOU ALL for your comments and help.

Hello I m 70 year old with a family a son and partner for 21 years and I ve applied for a 90 day tourist visa at London Thai embassy on 25-11-25 it’s just saying processing from the date above to the present day 06-12-25 I m getting worried I fly 26-12-25 this happened to me before and they didn t issue the visa. Until I had already entered the country for a week and just had my passport stamped for 60 days meaning I had to fly out and back help no one answers the London embassy kind regards John

Question, how many days before my expiration date can I apply for my non O retirement extension?

Thank you

it is funny because the first time, i apply for a visa, i asked my Embassy in Canada wich visa to apply! they said a E-visa for the three months, i did that to not having the stuggle to go to immigration! I tought by going on certified channel like the Thai Embassy, i would have the good answer! I knew about the 2 moths and 1 month extexion, but i did not want to make a trip to the immigration! Anyway, a lot of you spoke to me like i was a fool or don't know anything about Thailand! That was my first post and my first entry with a visa! The last then years i came here for two months or lest! I also had remarks about my writing, and yes i speak French and try my best to have a comprehension way to post! Some people are very blessing and i don't know why, you have more experience then i do!!!

Hi all need a bit of advice please

I was in Thailand in April and had a 30 day extension on visa and I'm back in Thailand can I get another 30 day extension with it been in the same year ? Thanks

Morning all

Visa question. Next year me and my partner are planning 2 longer stays, and want to know if it’s doable.

Stay 1. 10 weeks. 2nd May to 11th July. 70 days.

Stay 2. 12 weeks. 1st Nov to 24th Jan 2027. 84 days.

Visa wise, am I right thinking the first trip will be 60 day tourist, then our 1st extension for 30 days (will only need 10 of them)

2nd trip, our 2nd 60 day tourist visa will expire 31st Dec 26, and we plan to be here for another 4 weeks, that technically falls into 2027.

Is this doable? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Got my 90days Non.O-Thai wife visa today...at Chaeng Wattana.

Submitted application 2 weeks back and went today for collection...fast service...about 1 hr only.

Next will be for the 1year extension application... planning to do when have balance 30days.

Anyone have experince using Thailand Visa e-Extension ?

Or better to submit in person at CW again.

Thank you

Afternoon guys, I need a little advice if possible from anyone familiar with Jontiem immigration.

I’ve still 3 weeks on my visa and wish to extend it 30 days ( which I’m entitled too😇)

What is the specific counter I go to & do I register or fill anything in first?

I popped down for a look the other day & didn’t see any obvious signs… the Q at the information desk had around 30 people in and snaking out the door!

Thanks in advance and for previous spot on advice 🙏🏻
