With this draconian system coming in, do we have to apply for one every time we leave on the sixth month border run?

I need some advice. I arrived in Phuket on October 1st last year. I’ve had 2 extensions of 30 days and 2 border runs. Can I get another extension or do I need to leave Thailand?

Been here nearly 6 month so getting close to doing my first border run. Has anyone done an organised minivan border run from pattaya for there next 180 days yet?

I messaged a local agent asking if how much for a border run, they replied 3800baht for 60 days, I replied I had the dtv so would automatically get 180 days to which they replied oh the price is 5800 baht, when I asked why they said its because you get more days, I asked why that matters it's the same distance your taking me and there's no extra cost to you. Your getting more days so you pay more was the reply! Gotta love Thailand, always a way of them getting a few extra baht when they can!!

Edit. I do have a car, just dont fancy doing the trip on my own and getting stuck on the cambodian side if for any reason i dont get back in 🙄

Does it matter if I have a lot of Thai stamps under visa exempt as well as extensions and same day border runs? Will they reject my DTV for this?

Did my first re-entry with DTV (workaction). I've spent 6 months in Thailand. Left for Vietnam for a week.

No questions asked by the IO. Smiled and stamped me for another 6 months.

Don't listen to the fear mongers, the ones that want to sell you border run services or just salty expats who paid for Elite or are just bitter.

Follow the laws, if your DTV application is genuine you won't have any issues.

Hey. I’m seeing a lot of people saying they are not getting there DTV granted and that Thai authorities are being a lot stricter etc.

Has anyone had any success stories recently in the last couple of weeks?

Is it still safe to apply from bordering countries like Vietnam, Cambodia etc?

I am planning to visit Vietnam very soon and apply. I have all the required documents but just wondering is there anything to look out for? I have been on tourist visa in Thailand since last June and have done some border runs, could that have any negative impact? Would going through an agent help at all?

My company is situated in Europe but is now fully remote.

Thanks

Hi there all,

I have just received my tourist visa that gives me 3 months.

My plan is still to stay in thailand for 6 months

I think there has been changers to visa that may effect me, such as boarder runs.

May plan

1. 3 months using my visa

2, exit , border run and I get 2 months

3. Immigration to get an extra 30 days

Is this still a workable idea?

Thanks

I have a couple of questions about the DTV 1 after the initial 180 days can you do an in and out for another 180 days and can you continue to do that for the five year length of the visa. 2 can you get a work permit on a DTV.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but as this process is anything other than straight forward...once approved, if you plan on border runs instead of extensions, you do not need the 500k baht sitting in the bank doing nothing, correct? It's OK to move it out?

This popped up in my news feed. Guess helpful for a border run with no visa cost.
