Bit convoluted this.

We normally visit Thailand for 4 weeks, so as UK citizens (resident in France) the normal visa waiver thingy is fine. Last trip was 6 weeks and we did a 4 day trip to Cambodia in the middle, so again not a problem. We always entered and finished our holiday from Thailand so had the return flights booked when we arrived.

This time we are planing 6 to 8 weeks, with a possibility of a trip to Vietnam, and maybe Bali, in which case we would return to France from Singapore NOT Thailand. To give us the maximum flexibility, we were thinking of arriving in Thailand, but would book a return flight until we finalised our plan, so would not have a return ticket. Am I right in thinking the Thai immegration at BKK would not allow this, IE entering the kingdom, without a definitive ticket to say you are leaving?

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!!! 🙏

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?
