Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV in Germany but I’m no longer registered there. I’ve been living in Thailand with an ED visa. What can I provide as proof of residence in this case?

DTV Visa Success - Germany, Munich:

The process took about 9 days, including weekends and a public holiday. I applied for a new passport / express 1 day before so i uploaded a "pre-passport" document, but it was rejected twice. After explaining to the embassy, I later uploaded my actual passport, and the visa was issued the next day.

Question: My passport has 10 digits (bottom left) but 9 digits (top right). The german passport office said this is normal. Could this cause issues at border control?

Good luck to everyone!

Does anyone has experience applying for an DTV Visa in Jakarta as German passport holder?

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 🙏🏼

Hello everyone! I need some help, please.

German passport holder coming to Thailand to stay 20 days (until 14/Jan) - he gets the 30 days visa-exempt. He will come back to Thailand again 1st of Feb and travel around SEA for 3 months (90 days, until the end of April) having Thailand as a base.

Now, what we need to know: When he comes back to Thailand for the 2nd time (1st Feb), will they count it from the remaining 10 days of the 1st visa-exempt? Can he get out and then back again, and get a 2nd or even 3rd visa-exempt?

He won't spend 30 days straight in Thailand, he will be in and out few times during these 3 months, does he need to get a 60 days visa previously and then an extension of tourism ? What is the best way to proceed, please?

Is this information correct: "foreigners who enter Thailand under this Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme may re-enter and stay in Thailand for a cumulative duration of stay of not exceeding 90 days within any 6-month period from the date of first entry"?

Thank you so much in advance. :)

Hello ,

I have a question 😊

My boyfriend and I are currently in Australia and are leaving the country after 1 year in February. We would like to go to Thailand afterwards and would like to stay there for at least 8 -9 months. We have already read up a lot about visas. We know that we have to leave the country after 90 days and then we can come back. Does anyone have experience with a visa that is valid for such a long time and know exactly how it works and could give us tips on exactly what kind of visa we need and where we can get it?

Thank you very much 😊

German passport valid until June 2025, extention of stay (Retirement) valid until Nov 30, 2023.

I will leave on a re-entry in June for a 6 week vacation in Europe. In Germany I want to get a new 10 year passport, because it is much easier and cheaper.

When I return to Thailand, I will enter with the new passport, but still have the old one with me.

My concerns:

1.) Will immigration at the airport accept my extention/re-entry from the old passport ?

2.) What stamp will I get in the new passport ?

I understand that I can transfer the extention from the old to the new passport at my immigration where I live. Thank you.

Hello friends How to make the visa transfer (retirement visa) to a new passport,because get a new passport in summer 2023.German. Visa in the old passport is still valid for one year until 2024. Thank you

Hello I have some questions regarding getting my visa extension.

.1 I can definitely 100% extend a on arrival visa exemption stamp for 30 days?

.2 Do I have to go to the office for the extension on the last day of my visa being valid or can I go before and still enjoy 30 days from my last valid visa day?

I am a German national with German passport.

Thank you for your help!

Currently on a 2 month tourist visa (German passport), extension done - next Laos border run. Do you know if I show them by re entry into Thailand a new e-tourist visa it will be activated? It wouldn’t be a problem with an re-entry by plane but I am not sure about an arrival by land.
