Qatar airlines refused my wife to fly from London Gatwick on Sunday morning, with no onward ticket. She produced dtv and an unbelievably stubborn rude woman on check in, just point blank refused. Had to book a wasted flight, loads of hassle for nothing.
We've both flown on numerous occasions without onward travel of any kind. First time we've had this.
To those on a DTV visa doing a soft power course: is there a chance they won’t let you use your DTV to get back into Thailand once your course has finished? (My cooking course is only 6 months long). Thanks 🙏
Good afternoon group. Can anyone confirm the current arrangements for a tourist visa on arrival? It was 30 days, then they increased it to 60 days but I read it was being abused & they were going to put it back to 30 days. But I didn’t hear anymore. I will be there December 28 for 35 days. I will leave Thailand during this time & return there at some point. I could of course buy a bus ticket across the border but only as a last resort. Thx.
DTV - Does anyone know if you need to leave Thailand for 5 days during a second consecutive border run? Is it 180 + 180 = 360 days per year allowed for DTV?
Hi all, I am looking at staying in Thailand long term. Is the DTV worth it? Can you reapply for it once the 6 months expires?
I had planned on border hopping for a bit while i find a place to settle but I would be staying 30 days or so out of the country in Vietnam or Phillipines rather than day flights in and out.
Hi all is it correct that if I sign up for and participate in the appropriate approved course for a minimum of 6 months to be eligible for the DTV visa are there any future obligations to do courses or remote work or is the 5 year visa then in place regardless?
i got non-o 90 days " marraige visa " can i get multiple re-entry permit or just single re-entry permit ? and will come back before my 90 days finish to extend 1 year. location is at bangkok.
I'm getting so much conflicting advice, hopefully someone here can set me straight,
Australian passport, arriving 3rd of September to bangkok international airport. One way ticket.
At the momment I have no Visa, will I get 30 days on arrival, or 60 days on arrival,
Can you extend for another 30 days, regardless of if I get 30 or 60 days on arrival.
Do immigration require an onward ticket, if so, does it have to be a plane ticket, or would something like a bus ticket, hat yai to Penang be sufficient.
I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?
If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?
