Hey guys, I’m currently in Thailand and trying to figure out how to stay longer—around 3 months or more.

I’d like to avoid those land border runs (I really don’t trust those mini-vans 😅), but I’m trying to plan things out properly.

Here’s my situation so far:

- June 2 to July 10, 2024: I stayed in Thailand earlier this year (used the 45-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

- December 9, 2024, to February 7, 2025: I’m currently here again (planning to use the 60-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

I'm from Portugal, Europe..if that matters.

In February 2025, I’m thinking about leaving by plane for a week, go to China for a few days, and then flying back to Thailand.

My goal is to get another visa exemption for another 2-3 months.

I know it’s ultimately up to the immigration officer, but how strict are they considering the days I spent here the last year, idk if the 180 days reset on 31 December or something.

Would this work, or should I look into another solution? Train, if there's an option?

I’m planning to get an DTV/ED in June 2025, so I just need to figure out how to handle my stays until then.

Thanks for any tips or experience you can share!

Hi all, I’m planning a trip, possibly world wide.

I have seen E sim apps available for iPhone but curious to know how these work, I am considering travel to the following countries and would also like to keep my WhatsApp number but maybe cancelling my home country contract (New Zealand).

Any suggestions before I go down the rabbit hole?

Philippines

Thailand

Vietnam

Laos

India

Mexico

Columbia

Bali

Portugal

Hello

I have been a resident in Portugal from 2020 until 2021. I am Dutch and moved to Thailand in January for work. For my long term residence visa , I need a notarised and translated version of my Portuguese IRS tax statement to proof my income over 2020 and 2021 asap. I contacted the Portuguese embassy here in Bangkok and they said this can only be done at DGACCP in Portugal. Can anyone refer an agency to do this for me?

Many thanks

I work and live in Bangkok in a Multinational Company since 2018 , but due to covid I was working from my home country for 2 and half years , now I have returned back to Bangkok on a work visa. My plans in December are to visit nearby countries like , Vietnam 🇻🇳 Cambodia 🇰🇭 Malaysia 🇲🇾 or may be Singapore 🇸🇬 my question is how do I obtain a visa for these countries Or I’ll get visa on arrival, if yes ! will they question me as I’ll not be travelling from my home country? I’m a Portuguese passport holder.

Thanks in advance

Having looked at what countries might be opening up close by, I think Nepal will be opening it's borders on the 1st September, now if your like me and have a non b visa and a life here then It couke be an option to head there for me as I also work online, which I had to start due to closing me hostel on Koh phangan for the foreseeable future, 8t doesn't give Amy info on possible quarantines though or anything like that so I don't know if anyone else knows more about it? Or any other country I could fly too close by and wait it out till the government reopens the borders here as I'm not prepared to pay some crazy amount of money to stay in Thailand renewing a non b visa and paying social security for 4 Thai people when I haven't got any business coming in other than enough to get by from working online for now
