I’m just reading on the website of the Thai embassy in Vientiane that it’s not possible to apply for any type of visa in person. Is that true? Does everything have to be done online?

it is funny because the first time, i apply for a visa, i asked my Embassy in Canada wich visa to apply! they said a E-visa for the three months, i did that to not having the stuggle to go to immigration! I tought by going on certified channel like the Thai Embassy, i would have the good answer! I knew about the 2 moths and 1 month extexion, but i did not want to make a trip to the immigration! Anyway, a lot of you spoke to me like i was a fool or don't know anything about Thailand! That was my first post and my first entry with a visa! The last then years i came here for two months or lest! I also had remarks about my writing, and yes i speak French and try my best to have a comprehension way to post! Some people are very blessing and i don't know why, you have more experience then i do!!!

Hi, so I have been on an education visa for the last 10 months in Thailand. I went to Melasia for a week or so and now I want to come back to Thailand as a tourist. I have a tourist E-Visa already approved however I heard they can still turn you down at the airport especially recently with the crackdowns. Because I have been living in Thailand the last 10 months and only been out for a week and a half will they turn down my tourist visa? I basically want to know if it's worth paying extra money for an agency to take me through immigration (I know they work as my friend has used them alot to bypass things, but they are expensive). Do I pay the extra money to increase my chances or is my online e-visa enough?

Because I left Thailand without a re-entry permit, my education visa is automatically void even though it was meant to last until 20th December.

Just arrive yesterday, with a e-visa for 87 days in my own country Canada, the agent stamp me for 60 days, told me only 60 days, i tlod him that , i dont even need a visa for 60 days, but how can you argue!!! I will go at the immigration to understand, what’s the point of making a visa if is no good when you enter!!!

Sawadee mai.to everyone. I fill the e,visa application for family. They say ready to submit. But went come time to pay nothing is happening?. Try at least 15 time. Any one know why.

Hi to you!

Is it true that if you do a border run at the Chiang Khong/Huay Xai border you have to stay a minimum of two(2) nights in Laos?

It's suppose to be an enforcement from the Thai border dating from august 2024.

Thanks!

Further more do we still have a 60 days Thai Visa Exempt Stamp. This would be my 2nd so I should be ok.

Thanks again for your help.

A canadian.

I have submitted an E-Visa application for a retired 90 day, Non-O, single entry visa through the NYC Thai Consulate. It is currently pending approval as of November 5. How long does it take to receive an approval (or denial) from the Consulate?? I have rented a condo the past 2 years. I am leaving 11-25…hopefully

Thanks

- RE-LINKING DTV with NEW PASSPORT?! MINE WAS STOLEN.-

Hi everyone,

I’m a Canadian currently in Thailand, and my passport was stolen while I was in Europe before re-entering Thailand. I already have a new passport, and my DTV visa is electronic — it was not a physical sticker, and I still have the DTV approval email, receipt, and e-Visa PDF copy.

When I entered Thailand on November 6, I was given a 60-day tourist stamp on arrival, but I’d really like to continue using my valid DTV visa that’s linked to my stolen passport.

The Royal Thai Consulate in Hanoi told me that the DTV can’t be transferred to a new passport, but before applying again I wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully:

1. Re-linked their electronic DTV to a new passport after a theft or renewal, or

2. Had an agent or immigration office assist with this exact process.

Documents I currently have:

• photocopy in black and white of the stolen passport ID page and all pages with stamps before exiting Thailand to go to Europe in September

• Police report (original + translation)

• New passport copy

• Entry stamp (Nov 6) and TDAC form

• DTV e-Visa PDF, approval email, and payment receipt

• TM30 (current residence)

• Supporting docs: passport replacement application + proof of payment, updated lease with my new passport number on it, most recent bank statement, outbound flight and updated Muay Thai invitation letter with my new passport number on it.

Has anyone successfully done this, or know which immigration office or visa agent can handle it?

Otherwise, if you had to renew your passport and your DTV was linked to your old passport - how did you fix this?!!

Any first-hand experience would really help me decide whether to try re-linking or re-apply from scratch.

Thanks in advance for any guidance 🙏

Is normal i receive stamp on my passport no big sticker with dtv ?

I paid for an e-visa in August from Thai consulate in London, so I thought that I had 90 days straight through without having to report to immigration as I would have done when if I arrived on visa exempt, but when I arrived in Bangkok I was stamped in for 60 days and told I had to report to immigration on or before date stamped, so I thought fair enough just a formality, ooh more to pay. WRONG after being processed get to counter and Told 2000 Baht please. So why did I have to pay Thai embassy for e-visa and then pay another 2000Baht to the immigration office. Surely that tells me one thing that getting an e-visa is a waste of time and money. Grouse over😠😡
