I would like to know if you can apply for Destination Thailand Visa while you are in Thailand already?

Also before coming to Thailand i got 90 days tourist visa single entry but immigration stamped 60 days from entry. Anybody had similar case? Now not sure when I should leave the country. Asked issuing embassy and immigration office but no answer...

Hi everyone, asking for a friend on the basis of visa exempt. Free 60 days and they want to extend for the 30. If they go to immigration let’s say a week before the full 60 is up, does the extension start from the time they go to the office or the time that the 60 days will expire? I remember it being when you go to the office, but reading mixed results online. Thank you!

DTV 180 Day Extension

Hey everyone,

What requirements need to be met to extend the DTV beyond 180 days each year?

I heard immigration has been questioning DTV upon border run arrival. Does anybody have any advice? I am wondering if I should enter through Bangkok or through Chiang Mai. I live in Chiang Mai, but I heard that Bangkok may be better for entering.

Appreciate any info 🙏

Hi all. Any experience kind soul can give me a step by step guide to apply for a Thai marriage visa. My Thai wife wasn’t very sure and we are trying to avoid going to an agent if possible. We are married in my country but next year, we decided to go back to Thailand to live permanently. Any help is much appreciated thanks 🙏

Hi is there a form I can download and fill out before I go to immigration

I have a 90 No visa and want to extend it to 1 year retirement visa

How long do we need to be away (third country, not “home”) between 60-day exemptions?

I am a solo mom with two kids, all American passports on a 60 day exemption, which is up on the 26th of Dec. I intend to get a DTV as a digital nomad, but wanted to see how it is before going through the whole process, as this is our first time in Thailand.

My rough plan is to be in Taipei for Feb/ March, and apply for Thai DTV from there. In the meanwhile, we’ll be going to Malaysia over winter break and planning to return Jan 1. We won’t be there long enough to wait for the DTV to go through, so we’d be returning for another exemption. Is 8 days long enough they would be okay with another exemption? Or would they be okay with it because it would be only our second entry?

Alternately we could stay in Thailand over break and apply for an extension but I don’t know how likely it could be refused, or if the 30 days starts the day we apply, or if it gets added to our original date.

Here is some tips for the tourist 30 day extension forms, for any newbies.

When I report to immigration for the TM 30 after arriving in Thailand 24 hours earlier, I go to the visa information office and pick up the forms for the extension.

I then take them home and fill them in at my leisure, I also make a photo. copy of the blank form. in case I make any mistakes.

This saves time when I actually go for my extension..

Also yesterday at immigration I took a photo of all the completed forms that Thailand py partner had to sign,

This will help for next year's forms, If I am still fit enough to return

It was busy yesterday at Korat IMO, but 4 hours to complete that included a 1 hour lunch break wasn't too bad.

Update, I was given 7 days extension, attempts to get 30 days was denied. Officer did not ask any questions nor ask for additional documents.

Hi, I applied for visa exemption extension online via VFA. This is my third visit to Bangkok Thailand this year.

1st visit - early jan 2 weeks or so.

2nd visit - mid July to October 60+30 days extension (I consumed roughly 78 days)

Between my 2nd and 3rd visit I went back to my home city Hanoi for 5 days

3rd visit mid October to present with online extension appointment in person on Monday 15th Dec, the day my visa exemption ends.

What's are the odds the IO will give me

30 days?

7 days?

0?

Thank you

I see that you now can only travel to thailand on visa exemption two times in a calendar year (not 12 months), I have been there tree times this year and are traveling again in march, since that is a new calendar year, my previous trips don’t count anymore?
