Uk Visa-exempt entry then DTV

Hi all!

I am flying to Thailand in January from UK

I am a VA and have one signed client… I want to have at least 3 clients before applying for my DTV so I have a stronger case built.

so coming up with a plan B just in case…

Is it common to for people on the

60days entry and then fly out to apply for my DTV!?

OR is this going to affect my visa getting approved

Be kind x

Good morning. I wonder if someone can give me a bit of advice. I’m a UK citizen divorced ,however I’m in a relationship with a Thai lady. She lives and works in the UK, which is where I met her four years ago .

I’m retired She still works and we both live together. she owns a house two hours drive north of Bangkok eventually she wants to go back to Thailand permanently with me to follow her. We have both discussed about getting married here in the UK, but I have now talked about getting married in Thailand.

The information I want is what kind of documentation do I require in order to get married in Thailand and where to obtain it if anyone out there that can offer me assistance and advice, I would be most grateful.

Question to United Kingdom citizens who have already applied for a DTV visa

I’ve got an issue with the application form. When I fill in the home address, I choose United Kingdom as the country, and in the “City” section the website asks me to choose between England, Scotland, Wales, etc. — I can’t just type my city name there. So I select “England.” But then, when I finish the application form and get to the point where I’m ready to click the PROCEED TO PAYMENT button, I check the application form preview, and the “City” section is empty.

Report from Manila. Successful DTV application.

This is quite an unusual application I guess so thought to share.

I got my DTV from London about a month ago, I'm a UK citizen. My partner is from Philippines, she has just been granted a DTV too, application in Manila.

We are not married, and she has not got the funds in her account. I wrote a sponsorship letter and provided proof of our relationship (3 years, lots of photographs and history of communication). Both on soft power (cooking class in Chiang Mai), also sent lots of evidence of my time in Philippines (passport stamps), and copies of my finances.

Approved in 6 working days after request for some secondary info (not complicated).

Any questions then fire away. I'm happy to answer anything if it will help other people.

Hi all after some advice. UK citizens who spend approx 6mths past 3 years in Thailand - although visited most years previously for shorter periods. We usually come in visa exempt and extend / border bounce / occasionally visit another country. Both got hassled separately at BKK customs last time and told too many visas - so wondering if it will be the same if we apply for the METV in UK before we leave? We'll still have to extend / border bounce to stay 6months so will still be getting more visas. We don't want to live in Thailand full time. Thanks for any helpful advice. I did search and know it was possible previously but seems customs are getting harsher 😉

Hi. A couple of quick questions. I’m a UK citizen. Visited thailand in Feb for 60 days til April. I’m returning again but only for 2 weeks. How long am I permitted to stay this second time? Also, as a Brit do I need to complete the Thailnd e-visa before arrival or upon arrival is fine for us still? Is there a specific appp or site I need to download for this? Cheers

Hello,

I'm asking for some advice.

(The anxiety is kicking in.)

I will be travelling from the UK on the 9th July to Vientiane, loa. Then I'll be entering Thailand in the next few days.

The problem is that I'm flying through Bahrain and China on SELF TRANSFER / both airports (collecting my luggage and re-checking it on my onward flightS.

Do I need a visa for travelling through Bahrain and China now.

thank you in advance.

Visa exemption question ?

Cannot get through on the phone to the London embassy to clear things up .

Thanks

I am traveling to Thailand on the 25/4/25 to 25/5/25 so 30 days in total,I'm a UK citizen, do I need a visa? , some say I do and some say I don't ? Who's right? . Thank you for any advice.

So I’m currently in Thailand. I’m from the uk so I have 60 day visa expemption. I want to stay 5 days past the 60 days expires. I am only 60 miles from the boarder with loas now. How easy is it to cross the boarder? Do I simply just walk over the boarder stamp passport and then walk back? (I have not done this before.)

Also- so my 60 days ends on the 14 February does the 60 days get added onto that date. Or just start again on the point I return.
