Anyone have experience staying 180 days with DTV visa & then going out & coming back in within the same year or basically just a week later? After you leave. Is this possible and if yes, what are the tax consequences? Any information greatly appreciated…

I am coming to Thailand for the first time this year i plan on useing a 60 date vida exempt for about 66 day then going to the philippines for about 10 days then hopefully getting another 60 day visa exempt my question is would that count 1 for 2025 and one for 2026 or I won't be able to do that

I did two stints earlier in the year on visa free exemption both were extended by 30 days so I stayed all up just under 180days. I’ve been out of Thailand and back in my home country for 4 months.

I am coming back into Thailand next week also with a return flight booked back to my home country booked in 2 and half months. I have applied for a tourist visa and it has been accepted should I be worried with the recent visa updates ?

Has anyone flown into Thailand since the crackdown on border runs? Looking to get some information straight from the horses mouth.

There appears to be conflicting information available regarding the number of visa exemptions that can be obtained per year through land borders and air travel into the country.

For example my case, I flew from my home country to Thailand and received a visa exemption which I extended 30 days. Then I did my first ever land border run to Malaysia. So that's my 2 visa-exempt stamps. Booked my flight back home in advance (roughly 1 month from today), anticipating an extension but then this crackdown began.

Is it worth flying to KL and back into Thailand, hoping that they will be more lenient on flights, or just lose my bookings, call it a day and head home?

Marriage visa (multiple entry) vs. retirement (Non-OA, multiple entry) visa: which one is better? My husband qualifies for both. He currently has a retirement (Non-OA) visa and needs to either extend it for another year or switch completely to a marriage visa.

Did the new rules begin on the 13th Or will they begin on the 16th?

Hi, I will be applying for a 30 day extension on my Non O visa which expires in 3 days time. Just wanted to know if I will have to also show funds in my account again for approval. If so, how much?

New Rules…

Let me get this straight.... after reading many articles on the lack of tourist they're once again changed the rules...... so, if I come to Thailand on the standard 60-day visa and then extended 30 days and during that time, I spend $8,000/$10,000 enjoying myself and at the same time contributing to Thailand's tourism industry........ and then I decide I'd like to spend another 60 or 90 days having a great time and contributing even more $$$ to the local area and I will be refused?

Ummmm .........

We are arriving CNX on Dec 31, with the goal of staying until first week of June. Which option would you recommend:

1. - Enter in 60 day visa exemption, leave TH on day 60, fly to northern VN for 1-2 weeks, return to CNX on visa exemption 60 days and extend for 30 days.

OR

2. Arrive on visa exempt 60 day entry, extend for 30 days, leave TH 1-2 weeks, and reenter on 60 day visa exemption.

Is there an advantage for one over the other, mostly regarding reentry? Better to leave after 60 days and try for extension on second entry?

I’ve been toiling over this and can’t see one way better than the other, but maybe I’m missing something. Thanks as always for your counsel!

Based on recent reports from our clients at various immigration offices, visa exempt entries are now being limited to two across all borders, both land and air. Extensions are no longer guaranteed, and some offices are refusing to assist with transitioning to a new visa if your previous stay was based on an extension.

We're receiving a lot of inquiries about this. If you need help with in-country extensions, long term visa transitioning from exempt entry, or our prescreening and fast track services on exempt entry, please reach out as early as possible.
