Covid Visa aftermath @ Suvarnabhumi today

USA - 2 years on Covid extension visas, arrived on visa exempt, and departed Bkk March 2022. No issue.

Then went to USA for 6mo and returned on TR-60 single entry visa and got a 30 extension, no issue

New years in the Philippines for 30 days and returned today on 45 day Visa exempt.

@ Immigration

Officer went through each page. Then asks how long I plan to stay and to show my return ticket. Showed my 43day return ticket and a minute later was carted off to the immigration office.

Basic questions

What are you doing here: Tourist

Have family in Thailand: No

Then was told I need a visa if I want to stay longer. 1-2 months was ok without a visa. (Nothing new to me)

Filled out a Passenger Identification form: name, address, flight info. Got finger scanned and photo graphed. Then he walks me back through immigration.

Was taken back a bit during the process but ended ok.

Hi Admins and members

Have a good day.

It is reported that no more Covid visas will be issued. Previously, it was announced that it would be allowed until the end of March 2023. Please, answer those who know the truth.

Thanks.

Just a little something from someone (Canadian / visa exempt) who was on COVID visa since January and did 1 visa run (land / Malaysia) + extension and one visa run (air / Cambodia). The customs officer didn’t like to see half my passport stamped from Thailand since almost a year and told me it was the last time I could do that. Luckily, Thai girlfriend said we’d get married soon (😅), but if you’ve been on COVID visa and extending, you will most likely be stamped 7 days to leave (I dodged it).

Good luck, going to learn Thai next 🙏

My covid visa expires 5 October. My condo lease expires 12th November. I intend to leave Thailand before the visa expires and come back in after a couple of weeks on visa exempt with the aim to get a Non O over 50. By leaving the country does the condo address I have on my current TM 30 become redundant making it necessary for me to file a fresh TM 30 for the same condo address when I return. I had some difficulty the first time getting the landlords details

Hi Guys,

Quick question.

I had non-b and workpermit, quit the job and changed to covid visa. Now have new job and need change back to non-b. Do I have to leave Thailand and go to a Thai embassy to get non-b?

When I initially cam to Thailand in 2013 I had to go to embassy outside of Thailand to get non-b

When I quit my job I then changed to vonlinteer visa and when got née job I changed back to non-b but did not have to leave Thailand (but that was during Covid)

So I wonder how is situation now

Any productive advice is much appreciated

Thank you

I’m looking for some advice. I want to stay in Thailand long term. I am on a covid visa and have been here for 8 months. It expires on the 26th. I was going to purchase the elite visa until recently, I may now go into business here and set up a limited company. I am not 100% sure yet. I was thinking of leaving the country and coming back in on a tourist visa then changing that over to a business visa when the company is established. However time is not on my side and I’m confused about which way to go. I don’t think I can set up the company beige my visa expires on the 26th etc. any advice?

hello and thanks for the fast joining :)

I am on covid visa since oct. 2021 and a new extension is denied until I have flight out of the kingdom.

My question is, if I fly out of thailand, lets say to Laos, can I go to the thai embassy right away to get a new tourist visa or is there some waiting time, like you have wait two weeks until you can get make a new visa application?
