We're here until October on a tourist visa will then complete DTV in australia before returning.

How have others transitioned their travel insurance? Do we need to cancel our normal policy and transition to expat insurance?

For context we are 31 and 32 with a 2.5 year old.

We've got a 12 month lease and car here. From australia.

For anyone worried, we arrived into BKK last night. Had a female immigration officer who was lovely and friendly. Showed her the printed pdfs and she waved us through with no further questions. Family of four, kids also have DTV. No questions about funds or work etc. Applied for DTV under workation pathway.

Question about traveling with children within the Kingdom.

My wife and I our traveling by plane from Chiang Rai to the beaches down south and bringing our 7 year old granddaughter and our 12 year old nephew, what kind of documentation will we need for flight down and back?

I ask because while my wife is biologically related to both (Thai Nationals with ID cards) we all have different last names.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Hi friends !

We are a family that travels from Thailand to Vietnam to do the visa

Do we have to show 500k per head in the bank checking account or is it enough to have it at savings plan?

Help! Accidental overstay?

First, I know this is totally our fault, we should have checked the stamp, and we didn't.

Situation: we left home (New Zealand) at the start of April and were granted a multi-entry tourist visa (METV)about 2 weeks before we left. This is the one where you can stay up to 60 days at a time. We arrived in Bangkok at the start of April, so naturally assumed we had 60 days to leave. We have been holidaying in Hua Hin.

We want to do an extension so were going to head into an office this week (it has been 50ish days) - we just looked at our passports and the stamp says our entry date and then only 30 days later the exit date (at the start of May). But on the page prior it has our full page for the METV and the date it was granted. Have we accidentally overstayed? Was this a stamp error? Is there any way to explain the situation?

I feel like we made the effort of going through the full formal visa process and paying all the full fees (for all 5 of our family members) and now we face an absolutely massive fine if we've overstayed 😭
