Hi all

I've been coming to Thailand twice a year regularly on a visa-exempt entry as I usually stay for a few weeks or a month there. I have an Australian passport.

For the next visit, I would like to stay longer, for around 3 months, and think it's better to get a tourist visa offically before flying out and to extend it for 30 days when I'm there. Is this better than arriving visa-exempt again and then applying for 30 day extension? Or is there no difference between getting a tourist visa officially or arriving without a visa to get that 30 day extension?

Cheers

Onward travel and Visa.

I'm getting so much conflicting advice, hopefully someone here can set me straight,

Australian passport, arriving 3rd of September to bangkok international airport. One way ticket.

At the momment I have no Visa, will I get 30 days on arrival, or 60 days on arrival,

Can you extend for another 30 days, regardless of if I get 30 or 60 days on arrival.

Do immigration require an onward ticket, if so, does it have to be a plane ticket, or would something like a bus ticket, hat yai to Penang be sufficient.

I appreciate any advice, thank you.

Just an update on successful entering with DTV for the second time at Chiang Mai international.

I entered first time on DTV through Suvarnabhumi airport in January.

Left from CNX after a 5 month stay for a 2 week trip to China.

Arrived last night at CNX, while queuing an immigration officer raised her hand and said “DTV” toward the supervisor for another person entering on DTV. The supervising officer who was controlling the line just waved like it was ok.

When I went up to the immigration officer (not the same one that asked the supervisor) he only asked what I was doing in Thailand and I said “workcation, I work online and live in Thailand”. He smiled and handed back my passport with 180 day DTV stamp.

Additional info: Australian passport holder applied for DTV at Sydney consulate.

Hi. Can you stay on Thailand for 3 to 4 months and if so what are the visa and bank requirements please.

Coming from Australia.

Hi members

Any word yet on 60 days visa exempt going back to 30 days.. if it stays at 60 days can still use my Australian passport and get 30 day

Extension ..

And no need to do E Visa.

I can show immigration where I'm staying in Thailand

Hi all.. being of the older generation I'm a bit confused

(not hard for me )...

Is there 2 new things we have to fill in online before entering Thailand. I have Australian passport.

1. Evisa form for entry

2. Digital arrival card for customs...

I am I reading too much or is this how it is now.

Thanks 😊

As Australian passport holder do I need to apply online for a thai visa exemption or just book the flights?

Hi All 👋 we are in Thailand with our DTV visas and my partners Australian passport expires towards the end of the year, we are doing a bit of travelling and some countries I know need six month left on the passport to enter. We plan on renewing the passport this week in Phuket, however we are unsure now what happens to his DVT visa 🤪 does anyone know? Many thanks 🙏

I'm due in thailand in march 2025 for 3 weeks. Do I need to go on line and get a tourist visa or does the 60 day free visa still apply for Australian citizens
