Quick question, I'm arriving in bkk 1st of December and plan to stay until the 1st of June. This is my second entry on dtv. Ive been home for 6 months. My passport is in date until August 2026. Is my passport ok for this trip? Thx

I own and live in a flat in Phuket and have a 5-year DTV visa, but I'm spending this month in Indonesia. I have just arrived in Yogyakarta and straightaway realized that my passport will expire in less than 6 months (5 months and a week) by the time I set to return, which is not a problem for leaving Indonesia, but might present a problem for reentry in the Kingdom, and most countries, really.

I sent an email to my Embassy, which I have to visit anyway to pick up my renewed ID card - a requirement to renew my passport -, and asked for a letter explaining that I'm going to Bangkok on a specific date for the very purpose of renewing my passport.

Is this the right procedure? Has anyone been in a similar situation with a passport under 6 months when they arrived in another country and cannot book a ticket to come back? Thank you.

My passport has about 2 years validity left in it.

If i get a 5 year SP visa and it needs to get transferred to the new passport, will I encounter problems with immigration and proof of enrollment in a course ?

I started filling out the application for dtv and it says that my passport has to be ‘valid for at least six months from the date of visa application for single entry and one year for multiple entry’ but my passport expires in 8 months. I have already applied for another passport but it will take at least 2 months to get it. And I also need to be in Thailand for that 😥

Does anyone have experience with this? Can I still apply or it’s automatic rejection?

Hello, das anybody know how long the passport must be valid when entering Thailand with the DTV Visa? thank you.

1 do I need a visa to enter as tourist staying more than 30 days as Swedish citizen, like before or is it still 60 days without a visa??

2. I have a passport valid to September 2 2026

Plan to travel in November back for Xmas then back in January to March 15

Do I need a new passport then before i go?

This is going to sound stupid… But how strict is the 6 month passport validity? I’m trying to plan a last minute family trip and just found out that one of our passports will be under the 6 month mark by a few days. 😑 US Passport, 1 week trip in Thailand. Will be flying from Germany.

UK passport, yearly extension retirement plus multiple re-entry permit.

I am running out of pages in my passport and will need to get a new passport in London when I am there in a couple of weeks.

The issue is that when I come back to BKK, with both the new and old passport, I will be flying out of Thailand again the next day for a week. So I will not have an opportunity to get the stamps transferred to my new passport on my first re-entry to Thailand with the new passport.

my question is.... Will my yearly extension retirement plus multiple re-entry permit in the old passport still be valid on the second entry? Thanks for your time and advice,

Does your passport have to have 6 months valid when renewing your retirement visa? How early can you apply for your new one?

Hello :) Can I still get my 1-year retirement extension done if my passport expires in 9 months? I will go to my home country in the meantime for a new passport. Thanks :)
