Hello everyone. I intend to extend my tourist visa at immigration for 30 days. This is my first entry into Thailand this year. Am I likely to encounter any problems? Because I understand that the authorities in Thailand are now very strict. I ask because I saw a post by a tourist who was not approved for some reason, even though this is his first entry this year.

Just a update on previous post I asked can you jump que with visa and over 60 years old answer is no .

Come through immigration last night 19.30 took 1 hour 20 min.

Make sure all your paperwork is correct return tickets etc. Seen a lot of people getting turned around .and Immigration officers taking people away .

I submitted an e-visa application for a multiple entry tourist visa. It came back and apparently I spelled my name wrong on the application and they want me to reapply - does this mean I have to pay $200 again???

I did 3 border runs this year and was planning on doing 1 more in the new year then applying for an education visa - then a Thai bank account - then probably an o type visa for being the child’s father…. Does anyone have any advice for me to make things a bit more simple please 😩😅

DTV - London - application

I was due to fly on 1st January 2026 and applied on the 2nd December 2025 in London. I shared a copy of the 2 hotels I was due to stay in as part of my application. I've since cancelled both hotels as the free cancellation period was coming to an end. Will this affect my DTV application?

My partner has a DTV and we are getting married in a few months and I was thinking to get a DTV off his as a spouse. Would I need to follow the same rules for the financial part or can I get away with a sponsor letter as my partner will be the one supporting financially whenever we are in Thailand

Hi do you know if you can just do a border run on a DTV? Don’t want to do extension and have to do all the paper work. I rather leave in the morning and come back same day for my dog.

Thanks
