Thanks admin. So here goes my question.

I'm a long term foreign entertainer, musician, solo performer, ex-pat. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam.

One thing in Thailand I still can't get info on.

Is there a special short term work permit available that I could apply for, without a long term resident visa, which would allow me to organise, and work several freelance gigs throughout Thailand?

I'm under the radar many years now but...

I do know that bigger acts who have passed through have this permit , its allowed.

Someone in immigration suggested to me, if your itinary is fixed and organized, it is possible.

I would only stay for a standard two month visa period.

As long as I declare the venue, pay the tax on each show, and do a show that Thais dont normally do.

Is there an entertainment short term work visa permit set up for professional foreign musicians who don't require the venue to obtain a work permit for me? As long as I follow the special permit restrictions?

So I can possibly freelance gigs throughout the country for that particular registered time?

It's a very Grey area I know, but it's why I joined, and why I ask.

Thanks.

So I have a retirement visa and recently left the country. I asked agent about reentry form upon my exit and she said I do not need one. When I returned I could only get 60 day tourist visa. Does this mean I need a new retirement visa? Do I have any options?

Hello,

I just returned from a 3 day trip to Hong Kong after my 180 days. Not one question asked at BKK. Stamped and straight though.

Soft power- medical

Cheers

I travel from Phuket to bkk today and leave in morning (2nd) to go to Colombia but my visa runs out today (1st) will I have any issues other than having to pay 500 baht over stay when leaving for colombia

Recently changed to a Non-O. I asked about being able to leave the country and I was told if I left before the first 90 days I might not be allowed back in. Was told exits could be discussed after the first 90 days. Nowhere in the process was mentioned a single or multiple entry visa. The reality is I only want to be here for maybe 5 months out of the year, leaving when it gets too toasty for me. It seems Thailand leaves entry up to the discretion of Immigration. Can someone add a bit of clarity to this for me? Thanks.

I fly to bkk on 8th may can someone explain what I have to do to enter either online or at the airport with new restrictions coming in thanks

180 days on a DTV coming up, living in Pattaya. Can I border bounce either via BKK airport or via a van service to Cambodia on the same day to get another 180 days or do I need to spend time out of the country?

Is it common to get questioned when re entering the Kingdom? I come in and out a few times a year. This time I did 6 weeks here then flew to Taipei for 10 days, when I came in this time he asked how long I intended to stay and wanted to see my onward tkt.

I was planning to do another 6 weeks and go to the Philippines for a few weeks before returning again. Feeling a bit apprehensive now.

I hear people doing border runs for a day without any problems.

I searched old posts but i couldn’t find a solid post

1. Can i get a thai driving license with dtv ? Whats the high level steps

2. Can i buy a motorcycle with dtv visa, i think yes right & can i cross Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam occasionally and comeback in 30 days time

Did my first re-entry with DTV (workaction). I've spent 6 months in Thailand. Left for Vietnam for a week.

No questions asked by the IO. Smiled and stamped me for another 6 months.

Don't listen to the fear mongers, the ones that want to sell you border run services or just salty expats who paid for Elite or are just bitter.

Follow the laws, if your DTV application is genuine you won't have any issues.
