If you've used your 60-day extension, be cautious with land border runs. My husband was denied re-entry from Cambodia but flew back from Siem Reap to Bangkok and got his 60-day stamp easily. Consider flying for a hassle-free return! ✈️😊
How long can each visit to Thailand be with an American passport. If I plan on staying for 6 months initially and possible plans to stay longer , what kind of visa will I eventually need: I am 39 so won’t qualify for retirement visa.
I'm looking for some visa options. Can ED visa be multi entry? What other options are there for visas? I'm in my 30s. I have my own business and don't qualify for LTR (that I know of). Thank you :)
I’m looking for some advice. I want to stay in Thailand long term. I am on a covid visa and have been here for 8 months. It expires on the 26th. I was going to purchase the elite visa until recently, I may now go into business here and set up a limited company. I am not 100% sure yet. I was thinking of leaving the country and coming back in on a tourist visa then changing that over to a business visa when the company is established. However time is not on my side and I’m confused about which way to go. I don’t think I can set up the company beige my visa expires on the 26th etc. any advice?
Hi everyone looking for some advice. Not looking immediately but I. The next year I was hoping to move to Thailand.
I guess because of COVID visas are very different now. But can anyone advise what it was like or how I can get a long term stay in country.
If a border visit is needed each 3 months it’s not the end of the world. But any advice would be really appreciated. Oh and I won’t be employed by any Thai company’s if that makes a difference.
Hi all. I bought a condo in Thailand and have been attempting to live in it on a career sabbatical but run into visa issues due to too many entries as a tourist. I got turned away at Krabi airport and deported to KL (after being locked in a mouldy room with a sofa and no bedding, no shower, no soap overnight - if anyone is thinking of chancing it at Krabi airport, don't arrive in the evening!). I then got back in with a 30 day tourist stamp by land (sleeper bus from KL to Hatyai - very long, slow process for the big coaches at Sadao crossing, i recommend being in a car or minivan if anyone does this visa run).
My primary question is: will I be able to extend my stamp another 30 days at local immigration office as I have done 1 time previously this year? Rejected extension I could deal with, but is there any chance they arrest me and deport me when they see the red deportation stamp?
Secondary question: once we hit 2020 do I get a clean slate regarding how many tourist entries?
p.s. I have income and savings overseas. I just want to live here and put my money into their economy. It's pretty ironic they make this so difficult to do without getting a job or becoming a student, as it kinda pushes me towards renting out my property and taking that money out of their economy and spending it somewhere else. Not in their interests, you'd think.This might require a separate thread, but is there any way around this for long term stay for someone not old enough for a retirement visa, not married to a Thai and not looking for a job here?
