Hi

Looking to stay for a year before i commit to living Thailand, what is the best way to do this ? Is it best to apply for 90 day visa and extend or just exit and re enter every 60 days ?

Any good advice appreciated

After I get my 30 days of Tourist-Visa I can get out and get in again in Thailand how many times i want during that period of time without affecting my Tourist-Visa?

What is a good company to help me get the DTV? Also, are you only allowed 2 visa runs per year? We are planing to go from Thailand to Japan then from Japan back to the states and then from the states back to thailand and then from there to china... all before the end of the year. Do you think we will get flagged?

Hello, my daughter is currently on a training scholarship at Thanyapura Sports Resort in Phuket. They originally had her enter Thailand on a non-ed immigrant visa (I think is what it was called). She had it extended and was in Phuket about a year and a half. She traveled to a competition in Europe in December and as the paperwork for her contract renewal was delayed, she ended up on overstay for a couple weeks; she paid the fee when she left. She now has a US passport - originally was on a Micronesian passport as she's dual citizen. Thanyapura had told her to go to Laos and apply for the DTV, which she did, but she was denied. They said the reason was lack of 500,000 in her account, though the training resort had provided a letter for her to confirm her financial support; the resort said that's all she needed, but apparently they were wrong. We are at a loss now as to what visa she should apply for. Her current contract is for a year. She is back in Micronesia and the e-visa site says US citizens applying in Micronesia must apply online through the Beijing embassy.

Any suggestions as to what visa she should apply for? Or should she just return on visa-exempt? Or is it a big risk of being denied entry because of the previous overstay (though on a different passport)?

Hi everyone. Im not sure if Im allowed to ask about this. But I want to obtain a long term visa in Thailand. Any agencies or person who can help with this?

Going to be in Thailand about 7 months at the end of this visa run. Is it likely to get denied if I stay in a neighboring country shortly and apply for another multi entry tourist visa when that runs out?

Good evening :)

On a multi-entry tourist visa and about to hit 60 days in the kingdom. Plan to do a border bounce down at Satun to get the next 60 days. I'm curious if I should expect an additional fee at the border for going in and out in one day. I was told by others that they were charged, but they were bouncing on a visa exempt, so I wasn't sure if it would apply to METV or not.

If there is a fee, is it unique to Satun? Would bouncing at Sadao make any difference? Thanks.

Hi Beautiful people,

Looking for visa information as it’s my first time going Asia specifically Thailand from

Australia.

Also i need to know how can i stay a year or so as my main goal is to do bodybuilding classes and preparing only. Also like best gym recommendations. I haven’t book anything yet.

And by the way am Australian Citizen so not sure how can i get just 1 year visa.

Thanks for the help in advance .

Hi. I am applying for the DTV under the soft power provision. On the application in the travel information sections n it asks for the intended date of arrival and the intended date if departure. For the intended date of departure do I need to put 180 days since the stay is renewed every 180 days OR do I put the 5 years? Thank you in advance for any insight you may offer.

Hello everyone!

I’m Franklin, 22 years old and planning on moving to ko samui for at least 5-6 months this November. I wanted to get some insight from people who have done this and would be so kind as provide some insight on how I could do this as well.

I have pretty much everything sorted out, just need to get clear on Visas as it is currently hard to understand what my best option is.

I’m an EU passport holder, I heard that I can stay in Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa and then extend my stay 30 days at the immigration office in Thailand, first of all is this correct? For now this seems like a good option.

However, it only covers me for 3 months, if I wanted to say travel down to the Philippines or Malaysia after the additional 30 days expires for maybe 2 weeks and then come back, would that allow me to stay another 60 days and would I be able to extend it again for 30?

I also looked into the DTV visa, this one seems doable except I don’t currently have 15,000eur liquid. Would I be able to use a family members bank statement or does it have to be my own?

Again, any recommendations and any advice would be much appreciated. If you’re in Ko Samui this November would happily buy you a beer 🙂

Cheers,
