I am currently in Thailand on a visa exemption and planning to apply for the DTV. I'm wondering how urgent it is to apply.

So far this year, I’ve already used a visa exemption and extended it to 90 days. I left the country to the US and came back again on a new visa exemption, and I’ve now been here about 30 days. I'm going to Korea next week. Before all this, I also spent about 1.5 months in Thailand at the end of last year.

Can I return to Thailand one more time on a visa exemption, or is there a high risk that I’ll be denied entry at the border?

I was issued a DTV on the 13th of May with the intention of entering Thailand (and starting the Muay Thai course for which it is intended) in late June.

However, due to family concerns, my plans have changed and I may not be able to enter Thailand until late August. Even though the visa doesn’t explicitly say so, I’m worried that this may cause it to be nullified as it is more than 90 days from the date of issue.

Should I be worried about this? Many thanks.

"Once I get the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), after 180 days, do I still need to show 500,000 Baht every time I extend it? If I exit and re-enter, is there any chance immigration might get suspicious and ask to see my bank balance again before giving a new entry stamp? Nowadays, many agencies are offering DTV visa packages, so I just want to be sure before I apply."

I arrived today on a flight from Vietnam. I have not been in Thailand for about a year. The immigration officer warned me "Don't do that again." He was referring to a border run I did last year at Had Lek/Koh Kong. Has anyone experienced this? Cheers for any input.

FYI...

Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still deliberating the possibility of reducing the visa-free period for foreign tourists from 60 days to 30 days, with no decision made thus far.

Ministry spokesman Nikorndej Balankura reassured that no new visa regulations are currently in place, so tourists visiting Thailand remain unaffected for now.

Since a policy change in July 2024, passport holders from 93 countries have enjoyed entry into Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa, with the potential to extend their stay to 90 days.

Does anyone know if travelers staying about 10 days need anything besides a passport? Thanks.

I have a DTV visa, valid until 2029.

After now stayed in Thailand 6 months Im going back to my home country.

I plan to return to Thailand in November, is there anything I need to do regarding my visa, or just bring it to show when I enter the border, just like I did this time?

What’s up people, I recently done a visa exempt 90 days in Thailand (ending 18th dec) I heard the stamp rules reset every calendar year so in January would I be able to come back and get another 60 day stamp?

Hello, my tourist visa expires on 30th of October. If l arrive on the 30th of October, will l have problems?

So just to be very clear...If I have the DTV visa but I do not wish to activate it upon my entry to Thailnd because I'm planning a short stay, do I get to choose whether to use it and when or does it get activated by default once it's in the immigration computer data base?
