Question: I arrived in Thailand before TDAC, but it seems I no longer have the TM6 in my passport. I've had several visa extensions (and done all the 90 days reports) while living here for a couple of years, and its never been any problem. Now I'm leaving Thailand in a couple of days - is this bound to be a problem? Has anyone else been in the same situation?

Is anyone experiencing delays after applying for a DTV in Cambodia. My friend has been waiting 30+ days now. I assume the delay is due to the ongoing conflict.

Has anybody put Airbnb as the hotel address on your tdac. ?

I did on my last one, they had harassed me more about my phone case and my gf picture on it then the tdac. But I’m thinking that’s not wise to put on the tdac

Hi All

I am flying into Suvarnabhumi on 18th December .

This will be my 6th visa exempt entry this year .

My first entry was on January 10th and I stayed for 13 days before flying to vietnam for a 10 day holiday .

I then re entered thailand on did 60 day + 30 extension and stayed a total.of 76 days

I returned to the UK for 2 months then entered again for 4 days before going to Vietnam for a 1 week holiday then entered thailand again for 14 days before going back to UK and not coming back to Thailand for 3 and half.months .

My last visit was from November 3rd to 23rd .

I don't live in Thailand I work offshore and visit thailand on a lot of my time off .

I only did the long 76 day stay as I fell sick in Thailand so couldn't return to work so extended my stay .

By the 10th January I would have been in Thailand a total of 152 days since I entered on 10 jan 2025 .

It's too late for me to get a visa before I fly now .

I intend to get a proper visa for next time .

Do.you guys think I will be ok entering this time ?

Thanks in advance

Quick question, will my TM30 be valid if the land lord files it like 5 days prior to my arrival?

I rent a house with my wife, however I don’t stay in Thailand much as I have to Work in the USA while we wait on my wife’s US CR1 visa process, and I mentioned to them I’ll need the TM30.

However they want my passport page now, as if they want to do it now.

I won’t be staying long enough to have to do 90 day reporting, but I will have to get a certificate of residence to update my drivers licenses, as my first 2 years ends in February.

Concerned them doing it ahead of time will somehow cause problems later.

I have tried multiple times to submit my question about our situation which is obviously too complex for anyone to answer. But I will try again. Everyone is saying “Just get the right long term visa”and we would if we could. We are Kiwis so our visa application fees are literally four times the cost of every other country. Yes $2,000 for DTV or Retirement. DTV is not a great option for us because while we qualify for it, (I have ongoing contract software dev work) we do not know if we will want to keep going back for five years. So a rip off if we only use it once or twice for two months stay(s). Retirement is just a complete rip because we have to keep reapplying for it every year if we do keep going back to Thailand. We spent 140 days there this year and planning two x 60 day stays in 2026, who knows for 2027. Can’t work out what to do. Given the costs, what would be the right visa for us?

Many people have commented in this group how owners refuse fail to file a TM30. I am happy to see something being done about this

Crackdown on border runners and Visa Free entries on orders of the PM.

DTV is more valuable than ever. If here on Visa Exemots etc and going to apply for DTV might be better to do it sooner rather than later

Planning on moving to Thailand with the family from the Philippines. We will ship most of our kitchen appliances etc. I would like to ship my record album collection ~3500 albums, based on what I have been reading, I would be paying hefty taxes and duty fees??? Does anybody have any information on shipping bulk items such as this? (these are personal use, not for resale)

My DTV visa was canceled because i didnt use "Jr" on my name. Can I reapply? And if so do I need to pay another$400 fee?
