Hi. I came to Thailand 10/11/24. Got 60 days on arrival, I then went to laos 4/1/25. Came back to Thailand on the 10/1/25 got another 60 days on arrival left Thailand 10/3/25 to go back home

I got back to Thailand on the 14/4/25

But when I went to immigration they took me in the office & told me that I had been in Thailand for 4 months. They let me go. & gave me 60 days. But I’ve been told that after the 60 days I won’t be able to come back this year. 🤔🤔🤔

Hi! I’m entering Bangkok with just my US passport, will I need to present a return flight?

Hello! My Malaysian friend's tourist viza (60 days) is expiring on 18th. Would it be possible to go Chaeng Watthana office for an extention in the morning of 17th? Or he should do a "viza run" or leave the King​dom? TIA and Have A Nice Day...!

I have been living in Thailand on a NON-O marriage visa, that expired when I returned to UK for a 3 week holiday with my thai wife. I didn't renew Non-O as I didn't have 400k baht in thai bank account at that time. What are the chances of me having problems entering BKK with a visa exempt on my return?

Thought I would add to the list of those who have done border runs in recent history.

They are being detailed and to the letter going out as well as coming back.

The 2 day rule is in effect though going out the people inside the office said one day was fine, the officer inbound wouldn’t accept that answer without making a phone call. He made three phone calls in the course of giving me my exempt stamp.

So have EVERYTHING required and don’t play!

I went through Chiang Khong into Laos.

Hi! I will possibly apply for DTV but when on a side trip from Thailand. I plan to have 45 days in the land, then 2 weeks in Bali. Come back and do another 45 or 50 days (all on visa exempt entries) and have another 2-4 weeks somewhere else. I don't plan on doing it a third time. Just wanted to know which country is the easiest to submit the DTV and if it isn't processed in time can I still enter Thailand while I wait? The other option is we apply through the school my child will attend and therefore won't the DTV but won't know if we are staying more permanently until we have trialled life for at least a few months. The above was the only option I could see working well without spending time and money on visas we may not need. Any advice welcomed. No hate please. Thanks

I had 60 day tourist visa and spent about 30 days of it then moved other countries.

If I want to re enter again do I have to prepare something?

Also they haven't stamped my passport for the first entry.

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?

Experince yesterday at BKK. I was previously on a Non-O Retirement with extensions. I was married to a Thai wife now divorced. Two children in Surin. I left Thailand for two years for work and returned Visa exempt 4 December 2024 for 60 days to see my children. Ex wife (Thai) stays in Australia to work. I had difficulty with child access and border bounced Cambodia to get extra time to get access. I left within the second 60 days for Australia for a few weeks. Organising a court case in Thailand for custody. I was held by immigration even after explaining that i am seeking a Non -O on basis of Thai children but need custody. They also had my history and told me where I lived. The IO called supervisor and berated me for the border bounce. I was told next time no Visa, no entry. Seems the reports of multiple 60 day are real. I have never been questioned on previous Visa exempt entries.

A question, do i need to stay in the country i have applied the DTV ? I am planning a Thailand travel in few months and will apply the DTV in my country of residence. The question is, if they take too long to answer can i be in Thailand when they gave me the answer ? In this case the plan is to go with the Visa exempt and re-entry later in the year with DTV after approval. Thanks
