First entry with DTV from Chennai to DMK. The immigration line literally was 1 hour+ of standing in queue, but the process once I got to the counter was smooth af. The officer saw my DTV printout and didn’t ask a single question, just stamped for 6 months and said “enjoy your DTV”

I overheard them asking almost every person before me how long they were staying and if they have a return ticket, but didn’t ask me any of that. Just leaving a report here from the ones possibly coming in from India and wondering if they’re stuck up about return tickets and accommodation etc

Need a bit of clarification on how long you can stay each calendar year with your DTV.

Is it 180 days then leave for a day come back and get another 180 day stamp?

Can you can do that for up to 5 years currently?

Also if you stay more than the 180 days you may have to pay Thai taxes depending on the country you come from (US) .. and of course you need to report to immigration every 90 days also ..

If I arrived on a Non-o (Marriage) and I have been stamped in for 90days, and leave for example on day 75 after obtaining a reentry permit, when I return, I will be stamped 90 days again won't I?

How long can I stay in Thailand with this visa

Just arrived BKK easier than ever no paper to fill out no health check

45 days easy

Is it still possible to get a triple entry visa and do border runs from Koh Phangan to Malaysia?

Hello.

I arrived today on a TR visa but seem to have a stamp that says I can stay 30 instead of 60 days.

Does that make sense?

I'm 74, USA passport. Want to stay 7 months starting next October. If I get a Multiple Entry Tourist visa at Chicago Thai Consulate a few weeks before departure, can it work? Enter for 60 days, in and out near Mae Sai for another 60 days. Then again for another 45 days or so. Then in and out again before visa eligibility's 6 months run out for another 60 days. Does that work?
