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.

I got the DTV visa last year and spent a few months in Thailand and a then few months in India. Do I need to show the amount of 500,000 baht per person every time I enter Thailand?

I’m applying for the visa via London embassy can anybody tell me do I need to submit full 6 months of statements (as their are over 200 pages with many daily transactions) or just one document per month stating balance?

Anybody use VA payments for LTR visa? I’ve heard you have to verify all pensions on 1040. Any info?

Has there been another change in visa rules? Payments is there a charge now for normal 60day tourist visa was free last year

Approved DTV (Soft Power – Cooking School) from Kuala Lumpur Thai Embassy🇹🇭

First of all, thank you to everyone in this group for the advice shared, it really helped!!! But I would advise everyone to just apply elsewhere to save you from all the anxiety and stress. Even though I’m Malaysian, I have learned my lesson not to apply from KL again 🤣🤣

KL embassy requested an additional document: an acceptance letter issued by the Thai government. Many suggested reapplying elsewhere or notarising documents, but since most DTV cooking schools are privately owned and cannot issue such letters, I decided to explain the situation instead.

Huge thanks to Cookventure for providing a cover letter explaining they are a private cooking school and emailing the embassy directly, along with my own explanation that this is an industry-wide limitation. If anyone is looking for a cooking school in Chiang Mai, they’re a great option! Thankfully, the embassy accepted this and my visa was approved. My takeaway: if a requirement feels unreasonable, it’s okay to explain logically, politely, and respectfully.

My processing time was longer than usual. Despite advice not to follow up, I did so respectfully when it felt delayed. Email didn’t work, but the embassy’s official Facebook page did (“กงสุลไทย กัวลาลัมเปอร์“) (Not sure if all embassies have their own Fb page tho, might worth checking out!). They replied the next day both times (for document clarification and status update). Just be polite and give them time!

Timeline:

• Applied: 12 Dec

• Additional documents requested: 17 Dec (submitted 18 Dec)

• Follow-up with embassy: 29 Dec

• Pending approval: 30 Dec (morning)

• Approved: 30 Dec (afternoon)

Not sure if following up helped speeding things up or if it was coincidence, but it didn’t hurt 🤣🤣

Lastly, like many people here said, don’t let negative experiences stress you out too much. Even if they’re real, wait until you actually get rejected before panicking (just kidding 🤣). You won’t if you have all the documents they need!

Now I’m back in BKK! And no questions asked from officer as what many ppl here experienced as well. Happy new year everyone! ❤️❤️

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 applied from Vancouver CANADA for tourist visa I have TRAVEL DOCUMENT not passport visa CANCELLED Twice , reason for cancel < travel document >

My confirmed ticket on January 7 2026 ,

What to do now please advise

Got a 1 month extension on my 60 day tourist visa in December.

Can I still get a 30 day extension on a 60 day exemption next year? Or does the one year rule applies?
