I will arrive in chiang mia this week. I used the arrival card for the first time. It states is only for 30 days and and only one entry. I’m here for 73 days. Question: would I simply renew or would I have to leave the country and reenter like the old days? Please advise. Thanks

Is flying into Chiang Mai really a problem for DTV (Workcation)?

I need to re-enter and want to holiday in Chiang Mai with my Thai girlfriend afterwards, but ideally I'd just meet her there rather than taking her to Vietnam with me. I really don't want to fly back to BKK to catch another flight.

Confused with all the changes. Seeking clarity…

My friend arrives from South Africa tomorrow into Bangkok. Then will fly to Chiang Mai where she will travel to Pai.

With a South African passport, will she be given 60 days exempt visa (or 30 days)? And can she extend for another 30 days giving her a 90 day stay in total?

This will be her first visit to Thailand.

Hello, just wondering if anyone here has any experience with studying Thai on an education visa ? —- would love to find out more and all about it ..

And also wondering if anyone would see any reason for it to be a problem for me if….

I’m booked to be in Chiang Mai in December for 4 weeks on a holiday visit … but then I’m really looking into wanting to come back in 2026 hoping/dreaming / looking into taking a gap year never took ( 38 now lol ) and living in Chiang Mai for a year as a bit of a adventure … was thinking of emersing myself in Thai culture and learning thai on a education visa hopefully 🤞🏼 that’s my idea so far but doing the research now … as I’d love to be out of melb Australia by next winter I’d love to be over there by June …. Would anyone foresee me running into any difficulties if I was there for 4 weeks in Dec 2025 and then hoping to go back more long term day end of may /June next year??? I don’t know if they will be like why are you back etc… haha I just love Chiang Mai I’d love to do this adventure and love abroad for a year … crazy scary but also life is short and I need a big shake up it feels . …

Also I’m no digital nomad so don’t see that I can go down that route ….

How long does it take to get the DTV eVISA application approved? I’m currently applying in Hong Kong (here for 1 week), then flying to Chiang Mai

I am going to Chiangmai for a week. I have not left Pattaya for an overnight stay since Covid days. I can't recall if I need to check in with immigration for the TM30.? I will be staying at a hotel. Thanks

what do you mean i need to do with my address?

I’m going to chang Mai in November from Australia do I need vaccinations at all?

Thankyou for adding me to the group..I would like to visit Thailand for 2 months to stay at Pa Pae Meditation Centre in Chiang Mai, I will be travelling from the UK, can you tell me how much my visa would cost please ? Many thanks,

Andrew
