Hello, I need your advice, I would like to inquire about the visa requirements for my upcoming trip to Thailand. I have a European citizen.

I previously stayed in Thailand from January 2025 to May 2025, and again from July 2025 to October 2025. I am now planning to return to Thailand in January to visit with my Thai wife.

Could you kindly advise whether I am eligible to travel to Thailand at any time under visa exemption, or if I am required to apply for a visa in advance since i stayed more than 230 days this year. Thank you for your time.

I just entered through Suvarnabhumi airport, longer queues for sure. I use visa exempt every month but never had any extensions and max stayed 4 to 12 days each time, and return back to my country. I had zero questions asked and was let through. This was my 12th Visa exempt this year. Never even asked for my return ticket, hotel or how much cash i had. Just biometric, photo and stamp the passport. Since there are many questions around this subject.

What happens if a slow embassy doesn’t approve your DTV before the travel date?

Would I be allowed to enter Thailand on a Visa exemption and fly back out once it’s approved let’s say Vietnam and re enter on the DTV.

Is this allowed?

Hello, could you please confirm whether this is accurate? The rules appear to be changing frequently.

I'm a airline pilot for a US Company holding a US Passport and i get 10 days off a month which i want to spend in Thailand could this be possible on a tourist visa/visa exemption entry. It would be monthly entry but short stays.

I thought I just take a look at my passport I came last year in January 2025 on a new passport visa exemption 60 days got a 30 day extension but there isn’t a stamp for the departure? I’ve looked at a old passport 2024 these where stamped up with the departure date UK passport is there a way to correct this I haven’t booked any tickets yet and haven’t travelled again since that date

US citizen… is visa on arrival still a thing?

Hi everyone, asking for a friend on the basis of visa exempt. Free 60 days and they want to extend for the 30. If they go to immigration let’s say a week before the full 60 is up, does the extension start from the time they go to the office or the time that the 60 days will expire? I remember it being when you go to the office, but reading mixed results online. Thank you!

Thanks for all good advice previously

Any one of us tourists experienced any denial of entry when arriving from Phom Penh by air. South Africa passport and this will be my 4 th entry in 12 months , but only ever stayed between 10 and 20 days

Not sure if a METV would help .....

Appreciate any current experience

Thanks

I have a few questions and would like to hear from people who have recent experience, because the political situation in Thailand is unstable and there have been some changes to visa regulations.

1. I’ve heard that visa extensions at Immigration can now only be extended for 7 days instead of 30 days. Is this true?

2. If applying for a tourist visa in Laos, is it still possible to get a 3-month visa?

3. What is the current situation regarding student (ED) visas? Has anyone been rejected recently?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
