Arriving on December 27th for my 4th visit on visa waiver from USA since February 2025. I am planning to take girlfriend to Japan for a week during my one month stay. I have never extended during any stay and am looking at 80 days in Thailand this year up to this point. Does anyone have good information regarding if this travel will be frowned upon or outright denied now that the crackdown is happening?

Thank you!

Hi, can anyone advise how to transfer my retirement visa from my old passport to new passport, is there a deadline or can I use the new and old passports to travel into Thailand and wait till my visa expires in August next year to renew. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I‘m a bit confused regarding the 90 days report. I am in Bangkok now and got my TM30 but it has not been issued within 24 hours after my arrival. Should I still go to the immigration and do the 90 days report facing a fine of 2000 thb or better do nothing, stay 6 months and fly out hoping that there will be no fine at the airport?

Just been approved from Vientiane Laos. AMA, happy to help. I did Muay Thai soft core Visa. Happy to help anyone who needs clarification.

One thing I would recommend… when I paid for my Muay Thai course I actually had money I previously transferred to my girlfriend and she scan payed at the gym. They didn’t like that. I would recommend screenshooting your payment from you to the gym and bringing that with you as well as the receipt from the gym with the gym stamp ofcourse branded on it. Hope that tip helps. I would a bit nervous they would fail me for this

Hi everyone,

-I’m planning to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand.

I have a bank account, but I don’t have a large deposit in it because I usually use e-wallets / digital wallets for my payments.

However, I do have:

* Pay slips for the last 6 months

* A formal work contract showing my monthly income

* I work remotely as a digital nomad

My question is: Will this be sufficient to prove financial stability for the DTV, or is a large bank deposit mandatory?

Any advice or experiences from people who applied for DTV without a big bank balance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi guys, looking for some advice. I applied for a DTV (Soft Power – cooking class) visa through the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur (I’m Malaysian and was back for other errands). The embassy got back this morning and approved all my documents except the acceptance letter from my cooking school, stating that it must be an *official acceptance letter issued by the Thai government*.

I contacted my cooking school, but they said they are a private institution (so are other cooking schools?) and can only provide standard documents (payment receipt, enrollment confirmation, school profile, registration certificate, owner’s ID, etc.). At this point, they’ve already enrolled several DTV students, presumably approved through other embassies. This requirement didn’t seem to exist before, so I’m wondering if it’s a new or embassy-specific rule.

What would you suggest I do in this case? I’d prefer not to reapply through another embassy if this is now a general requirement, especially given the high visa fee. Has anyone faced a similar situation?

Hi guys,

I requested documents from Canberra, and since I have two jobs, I was provided with both contracts and a letter stating that I’m allowed to work remotely from anywhere.

However, the Thai Embassy asked for the following, and I’m a bit confused:

1) I already provided the company number in the letter, but they seem to be asking for something more official, such as a Companies House Certificate of Incorporation or a Companies House Company Profile.

Has anyone experienced this, or can you clarify what exactly they are expecting?

2) They also seem to want another letter confirming that I’m allowed to work remotely while staying in Thailand.

My previous letter included my salary and highlight work from anywhere remotely — for this new letter, is it necessary to include salary again, or is it enough to simply confirm that remote work from Thailand is permitted?

Any advice from those who have applied would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I just entered through Suvarnabhumi airport, longer queues for sure. I use visa exempt every month but never had any extensions and max stayed 4 to 12 days each time, and return back to my country. I had zero questions asked and was let through. This was my 12th Visa exempt this year. Never even asked for my return ticket, hotel or how much cash i had. Just biometric, photo and stamp the passport. Since there are many questions around this subject.

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question.

I'm planning to apply DTV visa from Singapore.

I got one issue that the resident address in the bank statement differ with current address, is it any issue and need to change the address before apply it?

Actually, I forgot to change my current address in my bank.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.
