Hello, I like to know if a visa run with dtv after 180 days is always approved or may it be denied?

After 180 days can you extend at immigration Office only without visa run?

Thank you

Kind regards

It is almost my 6 month mark. I simply want to confirm - can I fly into a nearby country, spend the day, then come back to Thailand on the same day? Or do I need to come back the next day and spend the night in another country? Thanks 😊

Not technically a Visa question it's more of a question about entry into Thailand. I have a US passport, and right now we have a 60 day stay visa exemption (unless it changes again soon). I want to know if during my 60 day stay what happens if I decide to visit Vietnam or another country in ASEAN and immediately return to Thailand. Do I ask immigration for a reentry permit or would I start my visa exemption status all over again effective with the newest day of entry into the Kingdom?

I was denied entry into Thailand once last April due to visa runs. But was eventually able to get in a few days later. I then left two months later and haven’t been back since. I’m planning to go back in April making it 1 year since I was denied and about 10 months since I was last there. What are the chances I am denied entry again? I’ll only stay for 55 days with return ticket, funds, and accommodations. But I’m flying from the States and I don’t want to be turned around and sent back. Should I just go with an agency that will get me in? Or is a year enough time.

I'm flying to Vietnam just before my 60 days visa exempt expires to get another 60 days.

Do I have to fill out another Digital Entry Visa or do I have to amend the one I already submitted?

Hi,

just two questions about DTV:

You are allowed to stay 180 days a year and 1 year out of 5 you can extend to 360 days, right?

1. Do a lot of you guys stay longer then 180 days every year and do a visa run then? Does it work? Is it a overstay then?

2. To officially extend to 360 days you need to go to immigration? Any formular 📋 for that?

Thanks in advance
