Hi thought I’d share our experience after reading a few post about immigration at Don Mueang asking questions on re entry to Thailand after bouncing out , we arrived in Thailand in September on the 60 day waiver and extended it by 30 days , we then flew to da nang for 5 nights this week and arrived back yesterday and at the counter the officer asked why we were here to which we replied holiday , she then called a supervisor who took us to another desk round the side as asked us to take a seat and asked how long we were here for , we told her for 60 days and we would ask for extension again for 30 and we fly back to the uk in march , so we were just open and honest with our plans and showed her our flight booking , she went away done some computer work and went through our passports then called us over and stamped us in which the usual 60 days and no further questions asked , now we came over and did similar last November on a 60 day tourist visa then extended then went to Cambodia for 5 nights came back stamped in for 30 and then 30 extension and flew home in April then as above we came back in September so think they are concerned with the amount of times we come in and out , we also feel the outward flight booking made a big difference as they are not daft and obviously counted the 60 and 30 and saw the flight out matched that, I would also add that they were extremely friendly and professional with no sign of any resentment in fact we even had a laugh when one lady officer came over and flopped into a chair and closed her eyes , you need to sleep I said , yes it’s too busy she laughed 😂

If I leave Thailand to renew my tourist visa, how soon am I allowed to re-enter the country and renew it without issues? Are there specific rules or timeframes I should be aware of? Be aware that I'm still not in Thailand, therefore I'm planning to move within a few months with Regular tourist visa. Thank you for any information.

Apologies as I’m sure this will have been asked before.. so I’m going to apply for a DTV next year .. I run a small IT business and most of our work is remote.. so will be able to perform duties from Thailand …

Regarding spending the 6 months in Thailand.. when that ends, Is it possible for example to fly out of the country for a month.. and then return.. and upon landing back in Thailand does a new 6 month period start? ..or is it 6 months in Thailand followed by 6 months out of Thailand?

Thanks for any advice 🙌

With DTV will it be possible to go in/out as many times as w we wish ?

Also it means we will get as many stamps as re-entry ? 20 times a year will be crazy stampings

Hi, need some l advice. My plan is to stay for 90 days with two re entries,I have a German passport. I will stay

30 days outside of Thailand. What kind of visa do I need. Thanks 🙏🏼

DTV Soft Power Question:

If I get my DTV approved to attend Muay Thai training, and I enter Thailand and begin the training, and then I leave Thailand before the 180-day mark, and then re-enter Thailand, will the immigration officer at the airport in Bangkok know that I obtained the DTV to take Muay Thai classes and ask for an updated letter showing that I will continue my training? Or will the immigration officer only see that I have a DTV in my passport and not know the reason I was given the visa, and let me enter without checking anything?

Will the immigration officers at the airports/land crossings be able to tell who got the DTV for remote work and who go it for soft power reasons?

No opinions please, just facts. Thank you!

Hi all. I need to change from a Non B Visa with work permit, which has been cancelled with last day of today. I need to exit Thailand today and re enter tomorrow on a 30 day exempt while I sort out my next role. If I was to leave this afternoon to KL and then get an inbound flight which lands back in Thailand at midnight tonight, would this work in terms of stamping in on the following day as long as I go through immigration after midnight? Thanks for the help.

hii i entered thailand with just the 30 day entry visa and did extension in chiang mai

then i left to sri lanka for two weeks and came back to bangkok, did another 30 day extension here

my visa expires march 28, can i leave to say singapore for a day or two and re enter with the same process for another 30 days + 30 day extension while i work on a longer term visa or will they deny me re entry?

Just received a reminder email for my 90 day report. Yet I left Bangkok and reentered a couple of weeks ago.

I know my next 90 days should be due 90 days from my last reentry but because I got an email do I have to do it online now to maintain currency in their system ?

I am currently on visa extension(after 30 days of visa exemption, for a total of 60 days). I plan to stay in Thailand for 15 more days after my visa ends.

Would it be a good idea to go to Laos for a night or two and then re enter Thailand via the Nong Khai border using visa exemption or is it too risky?

Last year I had spent a total of around 135 days in Thailand if that matters(Indian passport).

TIA.
