Hi all I’m planning on entering Thailand on tourist 60days visa I’m from the uk

I would like to retire there so any help on best visa to obtain

I do have a Thai girlfriend

Question:

UK citizen here, full-time employee wanting DTV1 Workcation visa to work for 1 month. What specific documentation is needed for the "Foreign Employment Contract", I've heard that they sometimes ask for follow up documents showing "permission to work remotely for X period of time". I'm a full-time remote employee but my contract doesn't specifically say so, will I be ok?

I don't want to pay the £300 visa fee only to find I don't have the right conditions.

---

Further Context:

My company will allow me to work 1 month at a time abroad provided I have work-permission. They also won't provide any extra documentation/ proof for the 1 month abroad. So I can't get a nice fancy document that helps me get the visa.

So, if I can't get the visa with what I've got, Thailand is off the cards and I'll have to go somewhere else for that 1 month. But my family (partner + toddler) and I would really like Thailand.

I haven't managed to get in touch with the London Thai Embassy (3 emails & 10+ phone calls) so I'm hoping you will be able to help.

Thanks!!! 🙏

Hey Guys, Just want to get my questionable plans sorted out and verified that I'm doing everything correctly,

I am a UK Citizen, Leaving the UK to go Travelling around ASIA, Starting off in Thailand, My flight is Leaving Gatwick on the 9th September 2024 which is a week away. Last minutes nerves are kicking in (Haven't been abroad since I was 8)

Flight Plan -

Gatwick to Dubai

1Hr 25 Min Layover - Self Transfer and Baggage Claim - Transport Visa Document Might be Needed? Can anybody confirm this.

Dubai to Suvrambhami Airport

I will arriving and planning getting through customs and border with the *Visa Exemption* rule, I have an onward flight planned for November 5th going on to further travelling.

I am able to provide finances of £485 a month minimum

Do I need to worry about being turned away because I have no visa secure before travel?

Anyone who holds UK passport have experience to certify the passport at the UK embassy in Bangkok. If yes, may I know require how long and how much？ Does it requires to make appointment beforehand？

Thank you.

Since Jan 1st 2024 I've used my two border runs allowance. I've flew out of thailand by air once to return & I got refused entry ?.. I'm a UK citizen & was under the impression can enter thailand by air more than once by air ?. Caused me alarm & distress, Dmk held me over night kept my passport & forced me fly out the country to Malaysia the following day . Does this sound about right or was I treated unfairly & what help can I get to return to thailand?

Hi we will be arriving into Thailand in a few weeks. We are UK Citizens and have been travelling Indonesia so we will be entering on the 30 day visa free entry. We would like to look into applying for a retirement visa but are so confused on which one to apply for. We are both over 50 not drawing on a pension yet but do have enough savings in the bank. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 😀

Hi, just to confirm. My friends, UK citizens, entered Thailand and got a visa exempt for 30 days and they would like to extend their stay. As far as I have searched, for the visa extension process, one would need - photo, passport front page, visa stamp page (both original and copy), TM 30 and forms at the immigration office. Are there any more documents they need for the extension? Thank you!

Hello all, does anyone know if it's possible as a UK citizen to get a Thai tourist visa when in Sri Lanka? I'm in Thailand right now, my current 60 day Thai tourist visa finishes at the end of Feb, so I'm thinking to go to Sri Lanka for a month, get another Thai tourist visa while I'm there, and come back into Thailand with it. Has anyone else from the UK done this before? Thanks in advance! 💗🙏🏼

My husband and I are UK citizens. Ideally we would like to apply for a 90 day Non-Immigration O Visa before leaving the UK. Upon arrival in Thailand I will deposit 800,000THB into my account and get the extension. Subsequently my husband will tag on as my trailing spouse. Has anyone gone down this route?

Had our online METV's approved yesterday in the UK; my wife and I are both UK citizens, over 70.

Approval was on day 8, probably 5th working day.

We have been going to Thailand for the last 14 years and this was our second online application.

Some learning that may help others.

1. Login to the UK site needs email and password, same as original visa account setup. KEEP AN ACCURATE RECORD, as you can't use the same email address if you forget it!

2. We arrive in Thailand November 12, about 21 days before our condo booking, but didn't need to upload the letter our daughter in law provided to show we were staying with them in BKK before going to the condo in Hua Hin.

3. We provided our flight details for the 4 and a half month stay,(home on 1/4/24) and didn't need to provide evidence that we would do a visa run after 60 days. So we will do what we did last year and get the 30 day extension at Immigration in Hua Hin in January.

Just as well cos couldn't find a flight to Siem Reap in early Jan. (our favourite visa run destination - 40 mins from Don Mueang International Airport)

4. I uploaded 6 months bank details for our joint account on both applications.

5. I used the electoral register letter as proof of UK residency.

6. I used annual pension statements to show income.

7. I uploaded the condo deposit receipt to show accommodation was booked.

The visa website is not the easiest to use and it might just be me, but most questions only take 1 upload, so the second one replaces what you put in originally. Recommend checking all your inputs before pressing the "pay" button and sending your £150.

....... and relax!
