I Went to Thailand under visa exemption from uk, last year Sep - Dec , then again Jan - April (adding the extra 30 days both times). Had to leave as "visa" was expiring and went to Vietnam/Malaysia for a week. Came back to Thailand hoping to get a flight I had booked for 2 weeks times.

Wasn't allowed entry, which now I understand why, was sent back to Vietnam then I went onwards to UK. Though I'm looking to go back with a tourist visa soon as I've just had one approved.

Anyone forsee any immigration issues from your experience?

Hello, I’m planning to do a visa run to Laos from Chiang Rai, I have the DTV, but I’m seeing some people saying you have to stay in Laos for two nights, but I’m not sure if that is just for visa exemption/visa on arrival. Has anybody done this before and know how it works? Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I've been coming to Thailand twice a year regularly on a visa-exempt entry as I usually stay for a few weeks or a month there. I have an Australian passport.

For the next visit, I would like to stay longer, for around 3 months, and think it's better to get a tourist visa offically before flying out and to extend it for 30 days when I'm there. Is this better than arriving visa-exempt again and then applying for 30 day extension? Or is there no difference between getting a tourist visa officially or arriving without a visa to get that 30 day extension?

Cheers

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!!!

Hasn't happened but just wondering.

If you are applying for DTV from Vietnam, and for some reason you are rejected can you still enter Thailand on the 60 day visa exempt etc. I cant see why you wouldn't be able to but just wondering.

Back Story - I will be headed to Thailand in November and will travel with my daughter to Vietnam to apply for the DTV ( soft Muay Thai) then once approved will head back to Thailand with her before heading home

HI GUYS COMING TO PATTAYA WITH UK PASSPORT IN JANUARY 2026 FOR 57 DAYS DO I NEED A VISA ENTRY ? LAST YEAR DIDNT NEED ONE.

Please advise: We have a return flight ticket for 4 months in Thailand. When we travel into the country, do we need to have documentation that we are leaving Thailand within 60 days, so maybe buy a return ticket to Laos or Vietnam (3-4 days) in advance?

Hello. I have a question.

I will go to Thailand soon. That's a first. I'm going as a tourist for 60 days. Do I have to book a return ticket and show them upon arrival in Thailand. I will probably apply for 30 days about an extension. Thank you 🖐️

Hej. Jag har en fråga.

Jag kommer att åka till Thailand snart. Det är första gången. Jag åker som turist 60 dagar. Måste jag boka retur biljett och visa dem vid ankomst till Thailand. Jag kommer troligen att söka 30 dagar ca förlängning. Tack 🖐️

Hi, am looking for advice on a situation I couldn't find anything online on.

I've recently had to get a new passport in Bangkok as my old one had no more pages left. I had previously entered on the 60-day visa exempt stamp, then picked up my new passport in Thailand and my old one was made invalid.

My question: is it possible to get another 30 day extension on the new passport without leaving the country? I have a flight out of Thailand a week after the current stamp allows me and previously had no issues extending for 30 days but am unsure about the whole new passport situation. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Thanks

Hello, I am looking for a bit of advice. I plan to enter Thailand next month, I was going to go in on visa exemption for 60 days. I will then leave for 3-4weeks. When I leave the country can I then apply for the multi entry tourist visa and re enter for another 6 months(i know i have to leave every 60 days on this visa)

Any help/clarofocation would be really apprecaited 🙏
