I have been in Thailand for 90 days. I arrived in Thailand on November 25, 2024. I had not applied for a visa, but was granted a stay of 60 days. I have also not booked a return trip. On January 27, 2025, I was granted a 30-day extension. On February 25, 2025, I checked out of Thailand in Nong Khai and entered Laos. I plan to stay there for a week before returning to Thailand.
I read on the Thai-E Visa Office website that I do not need to apply for a visa if I am only going to stay for 60 days. But I have to fill out some forms online. This website is somewhat confusing. The form asks me to define which visa I am applying for. Which conflicts with - not needing a visa. Has anyone done this "gymnastics" and can guide me? And... do I have to book a trip out?
Good day, I would like to ask someone about my situation
On November 20th I visited Thailand for the first time in my life and got a stamp for 60 days, then I extended my stay for an additional 30 days and then flew to Vietnam on the last day (day no. 90)
Then I booked a flight from Vietnam to Bangkok which took place on February 23rd and there were some minor problems at the border, they started asking me about my financial means, travel plan etc. but finally after 2 hours they finally let me into Thailand with a stamp for 60 days (until April 23rd)
My question is: can I go to the immigration office on April 18th to extend my stay until May 23rd?
I heard from someone that in period of 6 months I can be maximum 90 days on this free visa
I'm looking for advice for my daughter. She has been living in Phuket training on a swim scholarship since April, 2023. She needed to go home to get her passport renewed and is on her way back. Before she left Thailand, the training center told her she needed get a DTV to return. She flew to Laos and had the training center invitation letter and letter of support; however, she was denied as they said the letter of support was not enough and she had to have the 500,000 baht in her account. The training center continues to argue with us that they do not have to have the 500,000 baht. But we've had the same issues with Beijing embassy and Los Angeles (via email enquiries). We do not want to keep paying to fly her to different embassies and getting her DTV denied. She is currently coming back to Phuket on visa exempt (US passport) and then will try to find the best option for a longer term visa once she gets here. So my questions are:
1. Is the DTV the best visa for her to be on for training or is there a better option?
2. Is a letter of support from the training center enough?
3. If DTV is the best option, which country should I fly her to for that?
Thank you for any advice or recommendations you can give?
Has anyone submitted for a tourist visa through the Thai E-Visa website recently? I've tried to pay the past couple of days and the website doesn't accept it.
I've checked with my bank and they said they aren't the issue. so just trying to verify if this is me or universal problem
