ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

NEW REQUIREMENT TO BUY A TOURIST VISA FROM EMBASSIES

There is a LOT of misinformation about this topic going around out on the inter-web right now (not surprising :O )

Sadly, it's 100% due to people using bad terminology when they talk about entering thailand :O

SO

Let's sort out two completely different things FIRST

60 day visa exempt entry <- you show up here without having bought ANY visa from a thai consulate and you get stamped in FREE for 60 days on the visa exempt entry program (on July 15th 2024 it went from 30 day visa exempt entry to 60 days)

Currently, people from 90+ countries get that if they show up without having a visa in their passport to thailand. Visa Exempt entry stamps usually have the code ผ.60-ม.17.

A Visa Exempt entry is not a tourist visa, it's not a visa at all, it's nothing but a free 60 day entry stamp. This is not affected by the proof of funds rule change.

Tourist Visa entry <- this is where you BUY a tourist visa from a thai consulate using the online eVisa website before you come to thailand.

When you arrive you are stamped in for 60 days under the TR60 entry stamp.

This IS affected by the proof of funds rule change and now to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here you must show proof of funds (20k baht or the equivalent) as a requirement

One last time FREE 60 day entry stamps are NOT affected by this rule change, you ONLY show proof of funds if you decide to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here...

AND (just so everyone knows)

There is no update on when/if the current 60 day free entry might change back to 30 days. The government talked about it, had press releases about it but at this time nothing has been decided at all

Hello guys I've received this requesting documents on 6th may and I submitted my company registered certificate and my business account statement but up to now I never receive any message on my email

Is anyone knows if an e-visa application can be delayed in its process in the precise case that another application is still in process on the same account ?

1 application made and realize I made a mistake by submiting from thailand. This one is now in "request for additional documents" but I know it's gonna be denied. Sent a e-mail to explain my mistake but it is not possible to delete the application online.

No response from the consulate on this one and so I launch a new application fews days after (being oversea this time). I still have no return on the new application and I wonder if the first one might cause some issue for them?

I tried to call them but no answers...

Thanks for any feedback 🙏

I'm in Penang btw

I would like to go to Thailand next year for 2 or 3 times sixty days is this possible and what visa should I apply for this ? thank you for your answers

Got my LTR-P visa today. FWIW, it took six weeks for the BOI cert plus another two weeks for the e-visa approval (about 8 weeks total). For unknown reason (different screen / agent), my wife's dependent LTR approval was much faster, three weeks for BOI.

Question: I believe I need to print the e-visa for immigration, but should it be in color? (chatGPT says color is best)

Dear sam

Processed E-Visa - ref no ZHFGJSKSKSG has been sent to applicant registered email ID.

I GOT SUCH EMAIL FROM VFS global i apply through them i check online track status it says same but i haven’t received anything yet. im confused. does above msg says my visa is approved ? need advice

Middle names:

I have 3 middle names 😅

do I need to write all of them under “middle name” on my application?

Or only the first middle name?

hi! for the bank statements, does it need to be printed from the bank? or i can use my statements generated through their online website? thank you!

Hello, I am planning to apply for a DTV visa soon. However, my passport expires in a little over 3 years.

My question is: will it be possible to transfer a DTV visa to the new passport? Whether it is an e-visa or a visa affixed to the passport by the embassy?

Indeed, I read on a Thai embassy website that DTV e-visas are not transferable to a new passport. If this is not the case, I should think about applying for a new passport before applying for the DTV.

Thank you for your information if you have any 🙏
