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 :)

Question, I’m currently in the US for 3 or 4 months, my Non O extension expires Mar of 26, I’m reading that renewal of extension requires a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, my passport expires in July 26 which is short of 6 months. My concern is if I renew while in US that with new passport # I will not be able to make deposits to my Thai bank account.

Hi all,

I know that when you leave thailand your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. In my case i am leaving thailand on march 8 2026. My passport expires on september 14 2026. So technically my passport is valid for 6 months and 6 days. Do the thai authorities also count that way is my question?

Hi! My passport is currently valid, but expires in a little over two years. I’m applying for my dtv in about a month when I’m out of the country. Will I have issues with my dtv application since it’s a 5 year visa and my passport expires in 2?

I obviously plan to get a new passport before it expires, but not yet if I can help it. I am very low on free time.

Is this directive from 2023 still in effect, or is this purely up to the immigration officer at the airport? I called immigration in Thailand today and they informed me they are not sure what this directive is. With the introduction of TDAC I wanted to know how this applies.

Have a bit of a strange question

I travel to Thailand on 24th June and plan to travel to Vietnam on 2nd July returning back to Thailand 11th July and then flying back to UK on 12th July .

Problem is as of 5th July I will have less than 6 months left on my passport which I know is not enough enter Thailand from Vietnam I don't jave time now to renew my passport before I travel.

I don't suppose there would be any way I would be allowed into Thailand on the 11th as my passport will have 6 days less than the required 6 months .

Even though I would be leaving Thailand again the next day ?
