Hi All, with this website [[members only]/) I can see I am eligible to apply for DTV visa from South Korea, holding Russian passport working as a freelancer. I wonder why this is not possible to apply from Thailand and which supporting documents they need if I apply from South Korea. I can only stay there for up to 2 months. Is it sufficient enough?

Hey guys.

I’m going to be applying for a tourist visa on Tuesday morning at the embassy in KL (as need to apply from outside the country.)

I’m on my last few days on an ED visa right now. On my stamp the ED visa expires on the 25th Jan but Tuesday (when I’ve got my application booking) is 23rd Jan. From what I understand no problem with that but want to make sure.

The school have assure me they will cancel the visa but as I interpreted from my previous question on this group this isn’t so important for tourist visas, only for long term such as another ED, business etc.?

Also, I know that KL is 2 working days including the day it is submitted. Does anyone know if the passport is ready for collection in the afternoon or morning? Or does it vary.

We are a couple, UK & Russian passports.

Thanks.

As of 1st of November Russian passport holder will automatically get 3 months visa exemption at the boarder. Does this new rule apply to other nationalities?

Hi, can Russian passport holder do a NonB visa application in Savanaket, Laos? Tnx

Hello.

I arrived from Bali this month and got stamp 45 days (not VOA).

That’s a new thing with Russia, 45 instead of usual 30 days stamp on arrival. And I also have read in some reliable sources that it’s possible to make a 30 days extension (instead of usual 7 days). Is anyone experienced to make this extension in Bangkok?

Also want to ask, should I go to chaengwattana main building or to Laksi branch

Can anyone share their experience about living longterm in Chiang Mai by only doing visa runs (german & russian passports)? Does this work? Do we get always 45 days and can extend it for 7 or 30 days? Border runs by land vs by flight? Thank you for your help! 🙂

Hello,

Asking for a friend with a Russian passport who was given a 45 day entry stamp overland from Malaysia. Does anyone know if she is eligible for an extension? And for what amount of time?

Thank you ✨

Thai Visa exempt with russian passport? 30 days visa exempt + 7 days extension at immigration? Thanks! :)

We r planing to spend a few months in SEAsia starting asap, most likely: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia (maybe Malaysia n Indonesia), I have 2 passports (Argentinian & USA) and my gf Russian, I lived in SEAsia for 6years before covid and I used to know all the possibities visa wise but things have changed... What is the best strategy right now? where to land first, any country doesnt let u cross by land any longer (but only flying to) from another neighbor country? I dont know if any covid related thing is still on place or any visa (run) has changed, thanks in advance...

This is gonna be a difficult question, and the likely reply will be 'go talk to them', which I intend to do; will ask anyway for some ideas or insight.

So, there's myself, passport of Ukraine, entered 2 years ago visa exempt, after that had non-o volunteer (bleh) and have been on covid stamps since (about 9? of them I think).

There's my wife, passport of Russia, same visas/stamps.

Also got a 2.5 years old kid with Ukrainian passport (didn't do any extensions for him).

Now, we actually did plan to go back to Ukraine before our current extension runs out, but obviously this is no longer possible because of the war. I do have a letter from the embassy stating that the return to Ukraine is not possible because of the war and asking for assistance.

The two questions are:

- will they (Koh Samui immigration) make an exception for myself based on the embassy letter, despite me having a non-o before?

- is there any way to convince them to do the same for my wife, who despite having a Russian passport, obviously lived together with us in Ukraine (having a Ukrainian husband and a Ukrainian child). Official translation of a marriage certificate perhaps - would that do any good?

Thank you for your opinions.
