Quick question for those that have been to thailand/phuket recently.

Are they still giving the 60 day visa exemption? I heard they wanted to cut it back to 30 days.

Got my flight soon I'm wondering if I should buy flight for the 30 day limit just in case.

Thanks

Hello to everyone

Arriving in BKK Immigration still exist the 60 days exemption or reduced??

What if you wanted to legitimately tour parts of Thailand only for a total of five months a year, split into two stays, july and august and then later in Dec, Jan, Feb. Do you think you need to get a retirement visa, or some other form of visa, or can you just come in on a tourist visa?

Hi, I'm a French citizen, I am currently in Thailand with an EDucation visa which ends at the ends of the month, when I'll go back to France for a month.

I already have my plane ticket back to Thailand for July, and I was thinking to apply for a Tourist visa multiple entry (METV I think in English). It seems that the requirements are reasonable and I match all of them. Do they ask for a reason of stay in Thailand, or is tourism already a sufficient reason ?

From what I understood, it would allow me to stay in Thailand for 6 months, every time for 60 days. Which would allow me to stay for 9 months total if I manage well.

Can I extend every time for 30 days more without problem ? As long as my visa is valid, during those 6 months, there is no issue when entering back to Thailand ?

Thank you very much for your kind answers and advices.

Returned to the USA 🇺🇸 last month and plan on going back to Thailand 🇹🇭 late November. Was wondering if there has been any more talk about stopping the 60 day visa exemption?

TIA.

I want to retire in Thailand but now I'm thinking about going for 30 days first to see if I want to do that what visa would you recommend

Came to Pattaya on a 30 day visa. 10 days left. I screwed up on my airflights and when I leave BKK on May 23 it will be 31 days. Do I need to get this fixed at Immigration in Jomtien? Other thoughts?

I would like to go to Thailand 3 times a year, in February 28 days, in June 29 days and in November 29 days, my flight is always from Belgium to Bangkok, is this possible without a visa? Or would immigration make it difficult to come 3 times a year with a stamp on arrival?

Just landed at Suvarmabhumi after getting the DTV approval on Wednesday. Super easy. Just said I have DTV, showed her on my phone and she stamped me in till Nov 4. My child was with me, no DTV she asked if he was visa exempt and how long they would be staying I said 2 months. She said I should get the DTV for them too so it’s easier when they come and go. In hindsight I was going to do it in Hanoi but said we would next time we leave. Since Bangkok is really a base and we will be in and out every 2 months or so anyway. But it seems they definitely are mentioning getting visas over doing visa (exempt)runs.

We were here 90 days then left late Aprill for China and Vietnam. Before that 2022 and 2023 90 days with one bounce

Lots of people had to leave the line because they didn’t do the TDAC even though there are signs everywhere. She didn’t ask to see it just if we did. I said yes and that was it.
