I am coming up on 6 months, I’m in Koh Tao! If I want to extend and not leave the county and come back in do I have to show proof of 500,000THB again? And more Mauy Thai classes (soft power visa on the island)
Please let me know
As I don’t currently have the 500k anymore (sorry trolls - I did have it and now I don’t)
Please only comment helpful things😄
Has anyone been in the same situation in Koh Tao and gone to immigration to do this? Pls lmk!
I can do a border run just don’t want to really if it can be avoided
A few visa run agencies have stopped border runs (even for dtv holders) from koh phangan koh samui and koh tao. Anyone else experience anything similar?
I’m planning to travel to Koh Tao, Thailand, to get my Dive Master and Scuba Instructor certification, but I couldn’t find anything about a visa specifically for scuba diving courses. Does anyone know if there’s a special visa for that, or should I just go with a tourist visa? I was thinking of staying for two months, then extending for another month. Would that work?
Also, if I hit the 90-day limit, would it be alright to do a border run to a nearby country like Laos or Singapore and then come back to Thailand to continue the course? I want to make sure everything is above board and legal—no funny business!
Anyone with experience, your advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
I want to get a DTV and stay around the koh Tao area, what is my best course of action for doing this? I don’t think there’s a Muay Thai gym on the island that facilitates the DTV - thanks in advance for any helpful advice
