For anyone who was concerned — I’ve just cleared immigration at Suvarnabhumi Airport for the sixth time this year. The officer greeted me with a big smile and stamped my passport without a single question. That brings my total stay this year to around 100 days, never exceeding 25 days and always returns to my home town.

Conclusion- if you are a legitimate tourist, there is no need to worry about the new immigration rules .

Has anyone had experience with a Chiang Mai visa run for a border bounce?

Hi guys, Im an Australian citizen and mostly staying 3 months in Australia and 3 months in Thailand. Mostly, also go to visit another country around for a week and come back to Thailand during this time. Can I ask what kind of visa do I need to follow the new Thai immigration regulations. Thank you for advice and Marry Christmas.

Hello, my husband and I are planning to move to Thailand in a couple of years, we both are over 50 yo, but I will still work remotely for US company, while my husband will be fully retired. What is the best visa in our situation? Any advice is much appreciated 🙏

Hello, I would like to ask for some advice.

I arrived in Indonesia on the November 27th. I applied for the DTV visa on December 1. On December 12, the Embassy requested additional documents. On December 18, I received an interview email, and I attended the interview on December 19.My Current status is Pending Approval after attend the Interview.

My current visa will expire on the 26th Dec, so I am feeling very unsure about what to do next. I am wondering whether I should email the Embassy to inform them that my visa will expire on the 26th and politely request an update on the result.

Since December 25 is Christmas and a public holiday, I am also unsure whether any emails will be received or replied to.

If it is appropriate to contact the Embassy, I would like to know which email address I should send my message to. I would also like to ask whether it is possible to extend my visa here in Indonesia.

Thank you very much.

Can somone help me please. Should I get an agent or visa lawyer

Hello everyone looking for some advice on DTV Visa and thoughts from people that have applied in the past and been successful !

A little about me I'm a retired guy from UK and have been travelling around South east Asia for over 25 years to Thailand , Cambodia, Vietnam and Philippines etc !

I'm thinking of applying for the DTV Visa as I would like to spend longer periods in Thailand in between going to other countries every now and then !

I have a couple of health problems that I need a couple of minor operations operations and there are long waiting lists of between a year and 18months on the NHS in UK and to go for private treatment here is very expensive !

I understand that what I need done would be a hell of a lot cheaper in hospital in Thailand !

I certainly can prove I have the 500.000 Thai Baht is savings and I can also produce proof of substantial savings and details of my full State Pension !

My State Pension and private pension and monthly interest from my substantial savings comes to over £2600 a month which equates to around 110 thousand Thai baht a month so I can clearly prove that I can support myself without working !

if I was able to get appointment letters from Thai Hospitals etc and proof of the 500.000 Thai baht and income !

what are your thoughts on my success at getting this DTV if I was to apply ?

please don't suggest I get a retirement visa as I don't want to live in Thailand permanently I just want to be able to spend more time and only have to leave the the country every 180 days or sooner if I desired !

Look forward to any help and advice and actual experiences from successful applicants that have gone down the same route that I am thinking of !

Many Thanks in advance !

I just was contacted by an agent and he say clear: if your website just start up, and you cant show income of it from the last 6 months (website only 5 weeks online) even the 1.5M savings ll not be enough to have your DTV visa. Dont do it... 😭😭

Just looking for a piece of advice . I made a slight cock up of my departure from BKK next March. I have a Non O visa (marriage) and with an extension I will be 1 day over on departure.

In all the decades I have visited here I have never overstayed.

I will be going for my extension next month. Is it possible that Immigration could allow me that extra day?
