I would like some advice. My wife is Thai and I’m an American. We plan to come Thailand in July and stay about 4 months. During that time, we will probably take a trip outside Thailand (maybe Laos, Viet Nam or the Philippines). My question is do I need to get a visa or just use the 60 day exemption and depend on the extensions that are available.

In addition to the normal 60 day extension, can I get a family extensions as I have in the past?

Thanks

Hello everyone

I came to Thailand in February for 2 weeks,

I then returned in March for 2 weeks trying to get my girlfriend a visa for the UK ( which was unsuccessful this time)

I am flying back to Bangkok on 21 st June for 2 days, we then both of us go to Vietnam for 2 weeks before coming back to Thailand again for 4 days.

Even though I will be under the time limit allowed I will have been to Thailand 4 times in 6 months

Will this be an issue?

Is the 6 months a year rule for tourist visas / exempt stamps still in effect? Is it only crooked visa agents Circumventing this for clients ATM?

So I am trying to book my flight to come out on or about September 15th. I plan on coming in on a 60 day visa, extending it to a 90 day visa and using an agent to help me with my retirement visa.

Is it ok to have a return flight later than the 60 days you get on your original visa or does your return flight when passing through customs the first time in Bangkok HAve to be returning within 60 days?

Does that make sense?

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?

I just re-enter Suvarnabhumi with my DTV and the agent is asking what I am doing here after taking pics of my few visa exempt stamps I got before in my passport.

Then pressed the yellow button for supervisor and she started questioning why I am here. I said medical, she asked to see my new appointment and asked why I don't do this in my country. She said because I had visa exempts before but now I have DTV, it's ok. Then I don't understand why they need to bring supervisor?

Also got stamp until 4th of November. Is this normal?

So there is still grilling involved even with DTV.

Good morning. I'm in between work permits and need to do a border run while we sort out the paperwork for a non-b. Is one night in Pedang Basar, Malaysia, enough, or should I book two nights?

I know we have to leave Thailand every 6 months and then re-enter. Does anyone know for how long we have to be out of the country before we can re-enter? Thanks in advance.
