I just extended my exemption visa for 30 days, after that what option do i have if i want to stay just 1 more month? ( im married and have 1 daughter, is there any special re extension or 1 month visa?)

Thank you

I'm looking for an opinion on the safest way to go about this. I entered Thailand on a Visa Exempt Entry. That gave me 60 days. I'm coming up on that 60 days soon. Would it make more sense to go to immigration and apply for the 30 day extension that most people do, or does it make more sense to skip that step and immediately start using a border run company until I'm able to get my longer term visa situated? I'm just looking for the option between the 2 that decreases my chance the most of getting rejected.

Hello everyone I’m after some advice please.

From my understanding I can enter Thailand by air 3 times per year.

I have entered 3 times already but want to visit again in July at some point.

What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

I’m so pleased I found this forum, it’s been a big help reading a lot of posts. I’ve decided that I wish to retire in Thailand. I’m currently in Thailand on an extended 90 day tourist visa, which expires shortly.

I’m a little confused over the best way to proceed. When I return to UK, should I start the visa process at the Thai embassy to enable me to open a bank account here ? Is it easier to apply in the UK, or to return here and apply ?

Many thanks for the advice.

so just a thought, has anybody thought about living in laos and just coming across the border to visit the family once or twice a year,

Can someone put me onto a visa agent to apply for a 1 year plus visa I’m 56 years old looking to move over with girlfriend.

METV Visa Question:

Hi...I'm Ken - a traditional 6 month tourist visitor to Thailand. Had to pay a 10k bribe to BKK immigration recently to come in from a recent visa run or they would send me back to where I'd come form. They said they Red Flagged my passport for needing a long-term visa the next time I visit.

- The Retirement Visa doesn't work for me because I'm rather mobile and after getting one I'd be forced to return to TH in person to renew at a certain time each year.

Been looking into the METV....

If I understand it right

- It allows for a 6 month stay.

- I'm allowed to stay the first time 60 days...which can be extended an additional 30 days.

- Then I can return after a visa run and start the process over.

Questions:

- Has anyone in this group ever gotten one of these?

- Do I understand it right?

Confused. I applied for a DTV visa around a month ago and some days ago i just got a mail saying ”Approved” but when i check it says that i have a tourist visa?

Do anyone in here knows what this means? Is this a DTV visa or did i get a normal tourist visa instead?

The DTV seems perfect for me and I intend to apply in about 6 months time. I could apply for a retirement visa but I don't want to have money tied up in a Thai bank.

I do intend to spend 6 months a year in Thailand and 6 months in UK as I have joint custody of my daughter in UK. A 5 year visa would be ideal as my daughter would be 17 years old when the DTV expires.

I was thinking of the workcation route as I do accounts for a UK limited company however this is part-time and only pays £300 gross each month. Most of my monthly income is from a private pension. I'm concerned that this would not be accepted. Any views?

I have been told by my UK dentist that I need some work doing on my gums which makes soft power an option. What I don't understand with soft power is how any activity, muay Thai, cookery dentistry could be dragged out fir 5 years.

Apologies that this post is so long-winded. 🙏

Hi, not really a quick question: since the non imm O based on marriage is not available as a multiple entry (1 year, 90 days per stay) but only single entry (90 days of stay) in the new online system what are the options for get a long term visa?

I live and work in a neighborhood country and i fly to Thailand weekly for 1 days or 2 stay, i’m non interested in a visa that allows me to stay long term in Thailand but a visa that allows me to come often other than the visa exemption to avoid questions any time and risk to be sent back for whatever reason.

If i apply for the Non imm O single entry and the day that i enter Thailand i apply for the re entry permit it will be for only 90 days as i can’t apply straight away for the 1 year extension cause i’ll left thailand the day after and also because i don’t wanna move the 400k to my thai bank account and more because if after applying they will come to my thai home to inspect I’ll probably not be there as i don’t actually live permanently there.

What are the possible solutions?

Please note that i have all the requirements needed for apply for the visa.

I know my question is not usual but i’m not finding an answer both from the embassy (that until last week was issuing the multi entry) neither from the immigration at the airport, any clue?

Thanks
