Hi, just wondering if anyone knows, as there are lots of conflicting info on the web, when leaving the county after the 180 days, do I have to leave for a certain amount of time? As in, does an out and back in in the same day matter or does immigration prefer you leave for a longer period?

Cheers

Hello everyone

I was in Thailand December 24 To mid February 25

I went back to Thailand This June till August with exemption 60 days

Now I want visit again in December till February 26

Is still valid for me the exemption 60 days or I have to do something else..??

I appreciate your info

Thanks

Can I get a multiple entry tourist visa for a 60 day visit in January and return in May. Then do the same in October and January ?I’ll be traveling to and fro from the UK. Can this be done each year? Looking at just under the 6 months in Thailand each year.

Hey everyone! I have a question, have anyone with a few border runs did an entry from Kedah, Malaysia to Dannok, Thailand? If so, did you encounter any issue? Appreciate much for the informations ahead. Cheers.

Do you need to have worked for a company for at least 6 months before applying for the DTV?

Should I notify my landlord to update my TM30 each time I come back to Thailand?

Hi guys, sorry for the weird question.

I am in Thailand on dtv, I know the TM30 "resets" each time I leave and enter Thailand. I do frequent flights due to my business ( around every 2-3 months) and don't want to bother my landlord each time I enter, is it required by law to update the tm 30 each time or is it only required when I need it for something ( at immigration etc) ?

Why dont the banks / goverment allow people on tourist visas to open highly limited bank accounts that could be a win win. E.G limit transfer amounts in / out monthly. Limit transfers to foreign accounts etc that way day to day spening is possible but business / work isn't.

I don't know about you guys but I would be happy with a bank account with a tiny limit such as 1,000 baht per month all my large spending can be on credit card and my small day to day stuff on my thai account.

This limit would stop people running businesses or getting paid through their thai bank accounts but allow legitimate tourists to use the bank account

Good morning Thailand. I don't make many posts in this group but as the banking thing is a hot topic at the moment, I'm relaying my experience yesterday at Kasikorn.

To give you some background I've been retired in Thailand for eight years. Opened bank account with Kasikorn at that time on non-O visa, no problem. Thought I'd be smart a year ago and switched to DTV as it seemed a better option for me - I travel a bit, so the regular outs and ins mean I'm always getting a fresh 180 days, plus there's no financial requirements.

My debit card expired last week so I went to my bank branch yesterday to get a new card - no problem EXCEPT I've been put on notice that Kasikorn does not recognise the DTV. They told me my account will be closed in six months unless I switch back to a non-immigrant visa. The manager told me that Kasikorn will not freeze accounts, but will gradually inform customers of the new requirement and will give adequate notice for customers to reassess their situation.

I will today contact the embassy where I obtained the DTV to see if I can now cancel the DTV and apply for a non-O. It's a real pain, but I need the convenience of a Thai bank account. I would imagine a lot of DTV holders don't have the need for a Thai bank account (that pay crap interest anyway) so they will be unaffected.

Whether Kasikorn goes through with their ultimatum I imagine remains to be seen, but I won't take the chance, and they have all least been considerate enough to let me know.

Thanks all - have a great day wherever you are!

What is the current status on a tm30 if you in you return to your original address

Has anyone with debt in thier home country been able to get the DTV? Would they deny your application because of that?
