I’m looking help This year, I visited Thailand twice for short layovers—each time staying one night before returning to the UK and then back to Vietnam. I used the digital arrival card both times and didn’t need a visa.

Greetings 🙏

Anyone have recent experience of applying for DTV from Indonesia or Malaysia?

I'm spending February on Lombok and March in Johor Bahru.

Got to decide where to apply from. Need to consider processing times and possibility of attending an interview (Jakarta/KL).

Alternatively I could just apply for a Thailand tourist visa while in Malaysia. This would be necessary because of my recent travel history (no further exemptions).

And then apply for a DTV from the UK in the summer.

Grateful for any insights 🙏

Not so much a DTV question but do you carry your passport with you? I never leave our home without it but fiance thinks its not necessary. I’ve been asked for my passport several times on days I didn’t think id need it and continue to carry it daily

I didn’t report after 90 days. Genuinely forgot…

Will this caused me trouble leaving the country or coming back in? Has anybody reported late after the 90 days? What should I do?

I have been to Thailand 8 times in nearly 3 years. Last trip the Customs officer asked how long I was staying 'this time'. I am back in April 2026 but I am a bit concerned they may knock me back. I have never overstayed and purely come to see friends as a tourist. I am near retirement but not in need of a retirement visa yet. I plan to have 2 trips on 2026.

Is there a tourist visa that lasts 12 months?

I don't want any unnecessary problems.
