For all interested, with my on arrival visa about to expire January 1st 2026, I travelled to Laos December 30th, spent 2 nights there as required by Thai immigration and then re entered Thailand on January 1st. I now have a new 60 day on arrival visa stamp in my passport. I am a US passport holder

I did this with proof of accommodations, bank statement, ample baht, and proof of departure in march. Immigration did not ask to see any of these photocopies. I only presented my passport and digital arrival card.

I’m not saying you will have the same experience under similar circumstances but this is the way it went for me through Chiang Khong.

Best of luck to all who love Thailand and wish to extend their stay.

Happy new year, friends

Will there be stricter inspection if I come via DMK on 31 Dec tomorrow , with a history of coming to Thailand this year in March for 60 days and a 30 day extension?

Do I need to report my new address within 24h to immigration when I move to another city in Thailand?

I m on a retirement visa currently.

Thank you for your advice

I have DTVisa and I didn't do 90days report Iast time I was in Thailand. I'm planning to come back soon and I know I have to pay the 2000thb fine next time when I'm in immigration. But may I have some problems on the border? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Please, let me know about your experience. Thank you.

Who is a real tourist in Thai?

Been to Thai 110 times since year 2000.

Never stayed longer than what then was 30 days visa exemption. Never extensions.

Never even knew that Thai Immigration even existed. Now, on Non O 1 year extension, I know.

We traveled around Thai, maybe 35,000 km rentacar. Travel, tourism

The hotels (maybe 50 of them) we had stayed at are still sending me (spamming) emails "Thank you for staying with us, we want to see you again". Their promotions and discounts.

That is is what a tourist is. Several times a year, some years 7-8 times.

If i have a DTV because of my employment, and then loose the employment. Can i loose my DTV? If the immigration founds out?

Hello!

I stay in Thailand for six month on a METV, make trips to different locations in the country and abroad, but always has my hone in Hua Hin, same adress. I will not do any TM30 (except first day), is this okay? The owner of the house comes from sweden und most time unreachable. Thank you...

Arrived December 7 - 2025 and leaving February 7 - 2026. In my calculation it a stay of 62 days. Someone else booked tickets on suggestion of my Thai girlfriend. Next time I will do myself because don't want to get in trouble 😊. I guess need to go immigration. Stay in Nonthaburi. Thanks for your help in advance. Hope there are normal answers because I ask a normal question.

For anyone who was concerned — I’ve just cleared immigration at Suvarnabhumi Airport for the sixth time this year. The officer greeted me with a big smile and stamped my passport without a single question. That brings my total stay this year to around 100 days, never exceeding 25 days and always returns to my home town.

Conclusion- if you are a legitimate tourist, there is no need to worry about the new immigration rules .

Hello, I have a TDAC question. I will leave the USA early on 11th but not get to Thailand until the 14th. Does this create a 3 day in advance problem? TY.
