Hello

I stay in Pattaya.

My 180 days finish now and i need to extend my Visa.

What isbthe best cheapest and fastest way to extend the dtv visa after 180 Days

Friendly reminder, check your stamp when entering Thailand. I completed my first visa run and they only gave me 60 days. I went to immigration the next morning and was told it would take 2-3 days to fix. They sent me to immigration at the airport for faster service. So, I did that and it was resolved in 20 minutes. So save the trouble, and look at the stamp before walking away from the immigration officer when entering Thailand.

Full disclosure, I didn't present my printed visa to the officer because I know he can see the visa on the computer when he scans my passport. He just didn't notice it on the computer. Lesson learned for me.

Hello, your help is much appreciated!

I entered Thailand 3 weeks ago with the plan of getting a visa on arrival, as I did last year. I was in Thailand for 6 months doing visa runs and never overstayed. Everything was in rule. Long story short, they asked me to buy a ticket to leave Thailand and gave me only 45 days instead of the usual 60 days.

I would like to apply for a DTV visa, but at the moment, I don’t have the required funds in my bank account for at least 3 months.

I am going to India for 3 weeks, and my question is: Do you think I can apply for a METV to come back to Thailand, and meanwhile get my papers sorted, to then apply for a proper DTV?

Thoughts?

Hi

I’m British from the in and want to go to Thailand for 6 months or so.

What are the best visa options?

Thanks!!!

maybe dumb question but for exit and reentry can I just drive on my own to Laos border, go into Laos and immediately reenter?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone here has ever done a visa run with their pet, and what the experience was like.

I’m on a METV and planning a short trip around mid–late November (haven’t decided on the destination yet). I’ll be traveling with my small dog (5 lbs, in-cabin only), and I’m trying to understand what the process looks like in terms of paperwork, airlines, and re-entering Thailand smoothly with her. Leaving her with a sitter would only be a last resort.

Any insights, tips, or advice from those who’ve done this would be really appreciated!

Thank you in advance 😊

I was in Thailand March 2025 for 10 days, then again May 2025 for 90 days, I had extension on Tourist visa. I am going back in September, flights booked for 55days

Just landed today in BBK. Did a visa run to Vietnam for a few days since I already extended once this year back in February. Showed the immigration my documents no questions asked. DTV workation category. 1 year of the visa over already.

Hello ! Anyone who got DTV with soft power courses experienced any issues at airport immigrations during visa runs ? Like the officers question about new courses and how the course is doing because normally the courses are 6 months long. Is it required to enroll new courses after each one expires just to extend my period of stay? i’m going to skip soft power option if it is so. It’s going to be costly.
