I’m under 50 and planning to stay in Thailand long-term. I hold dual citizenship and have entered using different passports—once on one, then twice more on the other for visa runs. During my most recent (third) entry using the same passport, immigration questioned me about my previous 58-day stay and discovered I’m a dual citizen. Fortunately, I had an outbound ticket and was allowed to enter.

However, I’m now concerned about what might happen the next time I return, and I’m looking for a legal, long-term visa option. Ideally, I’d like something cost-effective, as I don’t want to spend a lot just to maintain a visa.

Hello I am from Australia and am 41 and im looking to spend a year living in Thailand to test the waters before I fully commit to selling up and coming over full time. I'm not looking to take on and work and have enough funds to support myself during my stay. What visa will I need to do so? Sorry in advance for being uninformed on the subject!

My wife and I are planning a long cycle tour which is longer than 90 days. Based in Buriram.

As we will stop over in several villages/towns, and at least 3 provinces, how would I go about submitting 90 day reporting?

I think i am correct I have to report in person fof my first 90 day reporting so would do this in Buriram.

But after that?

Hello👋🏻 , m planning my first ever trip to thailand where i would preferably stay for a year at least as a remote worker ( I don’t make 2700$/month for a DTV ) , should i just go visa free for 90 days then leave and get a 90 visa for a total of 6 months ? Is there any better options ? I heard people take muai thai classes for a full year visa. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻

I want to apply for the DTV visa for Thailand (l saving this September) I have all the qualifications and except the REASON. I am not a digital remote worker.

I have enrolled in a 2 week yoga intensive. I have contacted a few places where I am going but they either only want cash on arrival so no ability to present a receipt of payment for enrollment before applying for the visa from Canada.

One cooking school said “someone applied from here for their visa through our school” and this school offers one day - all day courses but….one day?!

The language schools I contacted want me to enroll of 2 months for 1000$.

Two extremes.

Has anyone found a happy medium for a place on KPG that will take payment from Canada in order to justify a long stay?

Looking for advice.

My dad is 70 and planing to travel back to Thailand for long term stay. Which category of visa he needs to go with it?

He is retired, pretty healthy, no income but 6 of his children in US can support him financially. I heard retirement visa is hard to get for him and I just curious if DTV is a little bit more flexible and easy for him.

Thanks for reading my message!

What if you wanted to legitimately tour parts of Thailand only for a total of five months a year, split into two stays, july and august and then later in Dec, Jan, Feb. Do you think you need to get a retirement visa, or some other form of visa, or can you just come in on a tourist visa?
