Greetings all

Getting a bit concerned about my plans and would appreciate some input

I have been to Thailand 3 times since October last year , 10 days and then 21 days twice . Last visit was May/ June

Now I plan to travel at the end of this month with an itinerary of Chiang Mai for a week then fly Bkk to Hanoi spend a week near Sapa , then back to Thailand for a week in Bangkok

How will the visa (s ) work and do you see snags ? I'm on South African passport and flying in and out of Bkk on Emirates . Will have return flight issued and hotel booked in Chiang Mai

Hi , can I fly, with one passport, and entry to Thailand with diffrent citzen "South African passport? For retirement visa.

Thank You

Hi, I'm getting mixed answers on other platforms. Can a South African do a non-b visa run to Laos?

Hello, asking for a south africa friend here;

My friend (south african) she has stayed close to her 90th days after extension of 30 days (totaling 90 days- she got 60 days free visa upon arrival). She just started a yoga coach certification with me

in Bangkok and that would take another 50 days at least to complete. Because the courses are only on weekends. If she goes overseas for few days by airplane and then back to bangkok would she gets 60 days of free visa again? or there will be some rejection of not entering at all? any tips? thank you !

Hy guys if you are fr9m South Africa and want to do a DTV visa in Jakarta, Indonesia. You will waste you money and time. Me and my wife just came back from the Royal Thai Embassy. They said because we have South African Passports we need to stay in Jakarta for 6 weeks while they keep our passports then only we can apply here for the DTV visa. We are heading back to Bangkok tomorrow.

Hey I have a South African passport, do I need a visa to go to Bangkok on holiday?

My son is in Bali on a South African passport and leaves for Thailand in September and plans to stay in Thailand for 2 months

1) he gets 30 days free visa entry - hat does he do for the next 30 days ?

2) does he need an exit airline ticket leaving Thailand when he enters Thailand

3) proof of funds - how much does he require?

Can I provide my Thai bankbook as proof of funds for a visa exemption by air entry? My work contract ended and I had to leave the country that day. I hoped to get a temporary tourist visa in Malaysia to buy enough time to get my affairs in order before I go back to SA, however both consulates in Penang and KL didn't want to process a TV for a South African passport holder. They said it would take 45 days with a series of interviews and background checks and even then it's a maybe. I booked a flight from KL to Hat Yai tomorrow and was worried if I gave them my bank book it would create a problem. Came in with a non-b and it was extended for 3 years so my income for that period was all from the Thai company I worked for.

Hey everyone,

I work in Cambodia and travelled to Thailand twice now in 2024 under visa exemption scheme (South African passport). I usually stay 3-5 days with confirmed return tickets and proof of funds.

Can I do this again when I visit Bangkok in May or do I need to apply for a tourist visa? I heard from a friend they only allow this scheme twice per calendar year.

Can a South African passport holder who enters on the 30-day stay extend to 60 day visa? Any advice for a newbie - arriving this week?

Thanks
