Using the 60 days free visa without extensions please can you tell me how long we can stay in a year? And how long we have to wait in our country before returning to Thailand? I can't understand, there is nothing precise or written

Thanks for the reply. I was asking to understand when I can return. But this only confirms what I think: I knew that by land or sea you can only enter 3 times a year, but if they then tell me that by air there are no limits it's a lie...

I mean, it's all approximate at the discretion of the officer and if they send me home at passport control they will only create problems for me.

There is nothing written in black and white, it's all at our own risk. If I go to Thailand 2 times a year without extending I'm just a tourist, but maybe the goal is to make people pay for visas,

...if at least they were clear, they play the 3-card trick.

It's not correct.

UPDATE 08/04/2025 Bank Account opening

Went to the immigration office in Nong Bua Lamphu with landlord and wife. Immigration officer spoke excellent English and processed my TM30 and issued me with an official letter for the Bank of Bangkok advising on my residential status and intentions for the bank account. Process took 30 minutes and cost 500 baht for the certificate.

I now have a 90 day NON O Visa which I applied for in the UK at a cost of £60.00 and my letter from immigration costing 500 Baht. These along with my Thai telephone number and passport should be sufficient to open the bank account.

I was then advised to return to his office after I had deposited 800k baht and allowed it to sit there for 60 days. Once that had happened I could then apply for a 1 year extension to my 90 day Non O Visa. He also said that the process is much quicker if I went to the Embassy ( I think he may have meant immigration office) in Bangkok as they can make an immediate decision.

Hope this helps

DTV 180 day rule....

At the 180 day point, does the Holder leave Thailand for a week or so, then re enter for another 180 day days? ..and repeat for 5 years.

Or,

Is the Holder only allowed 180 days per 365 day year (5 periods of 180 in 5 years) so must leave for a long period before returning?

Thanks

May have been asked before but I can not find an answer.

Can I apply for a Non-O Marriage or raising Thai children in Thailand from being here currently on a visa exempt entry or extension of exempt entry?

Hey all

I know for the first 90 days report, you’re supposed to go physically to immigration.

someone told me that rule applies every time u leave the countty. I thought it only applies for first time after a new visa.

whos right?

if i left the country recently and already had a 90 days report for this visa extension, can i file online next time?

thanks!

Hello, do people who applied for the DTV through soft power have to, for example, practice Muyai Thai for 5 years?

If you don't want to show 400,000 for marriage visa...I heard that Savannakhet has multiple entry visa for 1 year, is that 1 year visa still available?..or is there any other option to stay in Thailand with wife...thanks..

Hi guys,

I have been on a retirement visa for 4 years then a marriage visa for 3 years,

I then got the 60 day visiting family,

I now have to leave and come back to get the 60 day visa exempt,

I'm in khonkean, would going out at Nong khai and coming back through the same route be my best option?

Hi I’ve just been approved for a 6 month multiple entry tourist visa it says valid from today until September does my 6 months start when I enter I realize I need to leave the country every 60 days thanks for answering cheers

Does it matter if I have a lot of Thai stamps under visa exempt as well as extensions and same day border runs? Will they reject my DTV for this?
