Hello, I have 90d Non-O until 8. march and leaving Thailand 23. march and I'm wondering which options I have. I was on immigration and they said one year or 7 days extension. I can not provide documents for one year but not sure about 7 as I didn't ask because I need 15 days. I planed go do border bounce which is 7k and lost hard day or two so I'm now wondering about to do 7day extension and then pay for 8 days overstay on the airport which seems to be still less or equal to 7k with saved energy and time for border bounce. What do you think about that or do I have another options? Would it be ok in the Samui airport if I come with 8days ovestay?
This may seem like a stupid question, but what is the advantage of the DTV over simply playing the visa extension and border bounce game. It gets one to 180 days before needing to fly out and back again. Is this a new and expensive replacement for that process? I honestly don’t know because I’ve lived in Thailand for the past 5 years on a Non-Immigrant B visa.
Hi. In the next few weeks my DTV is reaching 180 days. Since I don't want to go through IO I either plan a flight out or using a border run agency. What is the better/safer option to do it? I didn't find any information on DTV land border bounces so far.
When i arrive at DMK next week and get a 60 day VOA and extend another 30. Can I do a border run say to Laos by land crossing, stay a few weeks for sightseeing then return to Thailand and get another 60 days VOA and extend another 30 days.
Fly to Bali and back to Thailand and get another 60 days plus 30 or is that pushing it?
I don't understand the reason why they send a tourist out of the border, and then return shortly after, just to have a stamp (free of charge by the way) in the passport... they could have given it to me at the immigration office...!
Hi my 30 extension to my tourist visa runs out on the 12 th feb , I am going to Malaysia for two nights flying 7th-9th is that ok when I re-enter Thailand to get another 60 days
My best friend (British) is staying with me whilst I do my internship in Thailand 🥳. I know she can stay 60 days visa free and apply for a 30 day extension but how likely is she to get another 90days in Thailand? Can she just do a border run and go through the same process again? (60 day visa free entry+ another extension)
How likely would it be to get rejected (she’s never been in Thailand before ☺️)
Is it a good idea to get DTV visa pre-emptively? I will not be in Thailand for much time most likely this year or next but I do know I will be spending significant amount of time here sometime in the next 5 years and I don’t want to deal with the hassle of border runs then. I am not sure if I will be able to apply for DTV then as the program might be changed.
Hi, What happens if my non imm O visa trough e-visa will be approved while i’m in Thailand with visa exemption?
It will be activated when i’ll enter the next time or? If it is the case the 90 days will start from the approval date or from the date that i’ll re enter the following time?
