Hello all,

stayed in Thailand this year on a METV from January until July (6 months). Planning to come back in November on a SETV.

Is there any valid reason that immigration could pull me over or should that not be the case since I stayed out of Thailand for over 3 months?

(one immigration officer some time ago told me: staying out of Thailand for min 3 month gives no space to assume one living in Thailand as a Tourist anymore... ?)

I went to Korat IMO today for my TM 30 report, I thought while I was there I would collect the forms for my 30 day extension, to fill in at home.

The lady on the counter asked to see my visa, which as it happens I had 60 day SETV

But then I thought why she is asking for my visa, when you can enter on a visa exempt for 60 days and still apply for the 30 extension.

Has anyone had an extension on a visa exempt ?

Hi, with the SETV if you don't have a definitive itinerary...what is the best way of uploading accommodation details for UK applicants. I've got the first night booked in Bangkok and have evidence of that but want to be quite flexible after that......i understand only having one night may raise the question of why 60day visa is needed. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, appreciate advice here - we’re applying for an SETV from the U.K. and will have an outgoing flight as part of the procedure. Does the outgoing flight need to be within 60 days? Even though we’ll get an extension?

Thanks for your help!

Thought I would share my visa journey at Hua Hin immigration (retirement)

1) I already had a Thai bank account so I made sure I moved over the 800K

2) i obtained a tourist eVisa in my home country. I should have gotten a non O but I thought it had an insurance requirement (US) but they recently dropped this to align with all the other consulates around the world.

3) entered Thailand on the SETV

4) got all the bank paperwork and house owners info and applied for a Non O. Went back 2 weeks later for stamping of the 90 days.

5) 45 days later I went to get the yearly extension for 1900 baht and a reentry permit for 1000 baht. I didn’t have a tm30 because my new landlord would not do it. I was worried about it but the immigration officer didn’t seem to care and I think she did it for me. She stapled a ‘Receipt of notification’ in my passport which I think was proof of my new address.

I did change addresses between steps 4 and 5 which I thought would cause confusion but it didn’t.

Asking this just to be sure as my dates are very tight so an error could be "fatal".

I'm on a SETV that I extended once already. Current stamp expires on Feb 11th, Sunday.

I will apply for an extension for "Visiting family", the extension that is 60 days.

I've booked a flight to my country on April 7th - fixed date, not on my hand to choose other date.

As that extension is not added to the current stamp but start counting on the day it's stamped, if I've done my calculations OK if I go for it on Feb 9th I'll have a new stamp until April 9th, right? Giving me enough time for my flight.

And, in the case anything was not OK (missing paperwork or whatever) and cannot resolve on the day, as my current stamp expires on Sunday, I could go on Monday 12th to resolve it, right?

Just want to be sure if my calculation is correct, and to confirm I can get that extension even if I had a 30 days extension already on my current SETV.

In case it's important, my immigration office is in Lamphun, and I know the paperwork I need (passport and copies, copy of Marriage Certificate, copies of tabienbaan and ID from my partner, everything signed, filled form and photo). I have already my appointment for Feb 9th.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, using a METV for approximately 8 months by leaving Thailand twice and extending by 30 days twice. If I return to the UK for 2 or 3 weeks after last visa extension, am I likely to be granted a SETV straight after? Failing that, could I fly back re-enter on a visa exempt and maybe extend that?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi there,

I had a SETV and did two land border runs on October and December. Considering we just entered a new calendar year, would we be allowed a new land border run although i already did two in 2023?
